  • The inability of the Russian Government to meet their share of payments

The papers include six-monthly reports produced by the Anglo-Russian Financial Commission from August 1916 to October 1917.

The correspondence is principally between officials at the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. and Foreign Office but further correspondence, usually included as enclosures, comes from officials at the Colonial Office, Treasury, British Legation in Tehran, and the Governments of Russia and Persia.
