'Kadetskaya Pereklichka' (English: 'Cadets Rollcall') was a periodical journal published in New York in the Russian language from 1971 to 2009. The publisher was the Union of Russian Cadets' Corps Abroad. Initially, it was published three times a year, with approximately 100 pages. Later, it was published annually, with around 360 pages, including about 16 color photographs. A total of 80 issues were released.
The first editor of the journal was P.V. Olferiev, a vice-non-commissioned officer of the 14th graduating class of the I RVKKKK (First Russian Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich Cadet Corps) and the chairman of the New York Cadet Association.
The journal served as a valuable chronicle not only of the cadet movement, its congresses, resolutions, and appeals but also as a reflection of the ideas, thoughts, and hopes of the Russian white emigration. Its pages contained a wealth of factual material about the life and history of cadet corps in the Russian Empire and in emigration, as well as memoirs and documents dedicated to the lives of graduates. Obituaries were included, allowing a glimpse into the destinies of many former cadets who completed their challenging path outside their homeland.
