Where would you gom to or buy to find out prison records for "Solovetsky Monastery" in Russia?

Question

Would there be some sort of a history book or something that can be bought? Language does not matter cuz I can read both Russian and Slavonic.

Answer 1

There are many hisstory books tat tell about different parts of Solovki's history, and their authors worked in the Solovki acrhives. For example, for pre XX-century prisoners, try this one:
Г.Фруменков. "Узники Соловецкого монастыря". Северо-Западное книжное издательство, 1965 г. Тираж 15000.- review is here: http://www.solovki.ru/book_5.html)

For prisoners in the 30s - read Solzhenitsyn (entire chapter is here: http://www.solovki.ru/history53.html) or Likhachyov

Regarding direct access to the records - ask the webmaster of the Solovki portal - http://solovki.info/
