Document numbers: F.O. 181/1-1262 (1801-1970)
Before the embassy staff were withdrawn in 1918, many post 1908 papers of certain types were destroyed. Another serious loss of embassy archives occurred in 1941 when, with the advance of the German armies, all records, confidential and otherwise, up to and including part of 1941, were burnt by embassy staff before they left for Kuibyshev.
In 1941, as German forces advanced, all British embassy staff in Moscow (with the exception of a few personnel) left for Kuibyshev. It was not until 1943 that the embassy was fully staffed again.
