The world’s largest World War II archive is currently being created in Russia. Scheduled to open by the 70th anniversary of Victory in 2015, it will have 13 million files, trophy archives, including from Hitler’s chancellery, and a database for servicemen and civilians killed, embracing all countries that were engaged in the war. Presenting the project at a press conference in Moscow, chief of the State Archive Service Andrei Artizov complained about the huge amounts of segmentary archives across the country, some stored in conditions that are far from ideal. He added that a combined archive would highlight Russia’s contribution to Victory.
