Svetlana Bogdanova conducted several interviews for us in Moscow and concentrated on Soviet Jewish veterans of the Second World War.
Our primary office was in St Petersburg, and we worked closely with the Adain Lo Jewish Community Center.
Our coordinator in St Petersburg was Natasha Gordina. Although we have interviewed more than fifty people in St Petersburg, since 2005 we concentrated primarily on Soviet army veterans.
In Russia, we interviewed former front line Soviet soldiers as well as survivors of Stalin's gulags, although the majority of our Russian interviewees survived the Second World War by fleeing to Central Asia.
