  <abstract>Correspondence, memoranda, speeches, literary manuscripts, notes, and other papers relating to Russia and the Soviet Union and to Brasol's writings and work as a criminologist and literary critic.  Subjects include criminology, crime detection in European countries as compiled by the Criminological Survey of the Columbia University School of Law, Edgar Allan Poe, the Zionist movement, investigations into the assassinations of the Romanovs, efforts of White Russian émigrés to deny the Soviet Union official international recognition as the legitimate government of Russia, and the 1920s libel suit instituted by Herman Bernstein against Henry Ford for the publication of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.  Includes drafts of Brasol's translation of The Diary of a Writer (1949) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, materials for Brasol's book on Oscar Wilde including typescript copies and extracts of Wilde's letters, and files concerning Vladimir von Koeppen.  Correspondents include Vyvyan Beresford Holland, Allan Wade, John Hall Wheelock, and the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore (Md.).</abstract>
