Notes
1 One of the good examples of carefully considering the “Soviet factor” is Merridale, Ivan’s War.
2 Of special note in this respect is the multi-volume project by the Russian Holocaust Center (Altman and Terushkin, eds., Sokhrani moi pis’ma) and the first volume in the project of the Blavatnik Foundation (Chervinsky, Lives of the Great Patriotic War).
