When Sonia Met Boris: An Oral History Of Jewish Life Under Stalin (Oxford Oral History Series)

When Sonia Met Boris, an innovative study of Jewish daily life in the Soviet Union based on nearly 500 oral history interviews, gives a long-suppressed voice to the men and women who survived the sustained violence and everyday hardship of Stalin's Russia. It reveals how postwar Soviet Jews came to view their Jewish identity as an obstacle--a shift in attitude with ramifications for contemporary Russian Jewish culture and the broader Jewishdiaspora.
