This subseries contains conference materials, reports, correspondence, notes, video recordings, news clippings, and proposals related to ASO’s work as founder and president of East-West TV. Of special interest may be the correspondence between ASO and a number of politicians, particularly Senator Ted Kennedy, but also Senators Harris Wofford, Charles Robb, and Frank Lautenberg, and Representative David Obey. Also included are the planning materials for and final recordings of the various television programs East-West TV produced, including a historical documentary on the rise of fascism in Germany and communist totalitarianism in the Soviet Union, as well a series titled “Russians in America: the New Working Environment,” which described life and work in a market economy. Many of these materials are in Russian.
