Résumé
History as State-Run Institution the Soviet Archives. The Soviet archives are from their constitution the result of project to write the history of communism in Soviet Russia. In this paper the mechanism which guided the conservation of historical documents in the USSR is analysed, on the assumption that there is homophony between State historiography and the collection of data, in other words between library and archives. The Russian archives were formerly an institution destined to provide confidential information to State civil servants. After the October revolution they were transformed into research centers controlled by the Party. These new institutions anticipated the utilisation of new source of history memory which was immediately integrated into the actual practice of writing history.
