Soviet Questions on Research

[Stogieman]

I know there had been some discussion/concern about archive access for research being cut off.

A) Is research still possible?

B) Is it possible to research a Soviet numbered award made to a "foreigner"?

C) Whom do I have to contact to do this?

Thanks much for any help!

I can't really help you with A or C anymore, but as far as I'm aware, the answer to B is "it depends". What kind of "foreigner" is it? If it's to someone from the former Soviet bloc, you may be able to get info on them. If it's Mongolian, I have seen a single Ukaz where they were mentioned. If they were given the award for the 50th Anniversary of the Revolution, the name is in an Ukaz. Lots of variables...depends on what country they're from.
