- official documents of the supreme national legislative and executive institutions of the Russian Provisional Government (1917)
- records of Soviet Russia as an independent state (1917-1922) and as a territorial entity of the USSR (1923-1991)
- archives of the Soviet Union (1922-1991)
- records of the Russian Federation (since 1992)
- documents from many other sources
The State Archive, established in Moscow in 1992, acquired the collections of:
