Notes, Jews in the USSR, 1917-2000
30s. 50s and onward, Js avoided politically-charged occupations, like geography.
Natural gas discovered end of 70s. DIdn't have means to exploit it before. Western
companies in the area, less since 2000, P. Putin decreasing.
Pinkus' book, not narrative, simply what happened. Data, more or less accurate.
Other sources, be careful. Lack of sources, still perhaps the best overview, from old
gen at least. Revolution, Repression, and Revival, uses many archival sources.
Barnai's article, Khrushchev `til '65, let go quietly, retired in Crimea. Brezhnev's
time, no terrors, wars, purges. Beria liquidated in Khrushchev's time, not others.
Middle of night, won't take husband. Khrushchev, Malenkov, Beria three main
candidates. USSR broke up, 16 states, still hard to get into archives in R, sources
still in place. From HQ to periphery. Barnai mostly in Vilna. Docs an asset. What
actually happened? More affected, more concerned than Asian republics.
