Some history regarding the Museum of the Russian White Army:
"The museum was founded in 1956 by Colonel Tretyakov VI in the USA, since 1998 in Russia and France.
Continuing the collection of historical documents which had started during the civil war by the head of the Political Department and the OSVAG, Colonel YM Lisovoy, after the Second World War, the vice-president of the Union of Pioneers, Vladimir Ivanovich Tretyakov began organizing exhibitions on the white movement on the east coast of the United States.
His predecessor, Lisovoy (+1965 Chicago), also lived in America and, during the Second World War, believing in the victory of the Red Army over Nazi Germany, he transferred all of his museum archives to USSR, which he later regretted.
All the materials, of course, went into the hands of the NKVD and were distributed and hidden in special storage facilities.
In the 90s, the "YM Lisovoy collection", or rather his remains,
began to appear in the form of photographs from the Krasnogorsk photographic document archive....."
