The paper overviews materials on the history of the unrecognized Badakhshan Autonomous Republic (1991-1994) from the State Archive of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAR) of the Republic of Tajikistan. The author exmines the content of the most interesting documents, which give an insight into the focal points of the foreign and economic policies of the «self-proclaimed» entity, the involvement of the regional elite into events of the Tajikwide scale and the process of reintegration of the Pamirs into the Republic of Tajikistan.
