I've researched in the National Archives before. It's been a decade, but I remember that I had to take a class about the rules, and then they issued me the card. The Beltsville Center is where you'll probably find the sort of thing you want (but I have no idea what the Soviet-related stuff would be like). I don't know how it is now, but I'd guess it's easier now to bring in things like computers and scanners. Back then, you couldn't, and had to pay some expensive licensed photo vendors to make any sort of copies.
