Russian Telephone and City Directories

Country-Wide Directories

Over 30 Russian telephone and address directories listed on this page provide coverage for the entire Russian Federation, former Soviet Union, or large regions across multiple oblasts or districts. Directories for specific cities, oblasts or districts appear on the page for Regional Directories. Directories can be one of three types. "Organizational" and "residential" are self- explanatory, while "both" indicates a directory that contains both kinds of information. These are indicated with abbreviations: Res., Org. or Both.

Unless specified otherwise, the directories are held in the uncataloged international telephone directory collection in the Adams Building of the Library of Congress. Additional cataloged directories covering the entire country may be identified using the online catalog. For those directories that have bibliographic records, the library location will be listed in the notes filed. Follow the links for fuller bibliographic descriptions in the Library of Congress Online Catalog.
