Documents of the VCHK-GPU information service on the activities of the Russian 'emigr'e monarchist organizations in the early 1920's

The article presents the analysis of the activities of the Russian émigré monarchist organizations in 1921-1924. The research is based on new sources, namely, the VCHK-GPU information service documents. Their data testify significant controversies among monarchists on various socio-political problems. In the early 1920s there were two groups in the Russian monarchist emigration circles - the Paris Party and the Berlin Group - who pinned their hopes on various Western political forces. Nevertheless monarchist émigrés never realized their goals due to serious disagreement and general lack of coordination.
