This work, by contrast, draws upon heretofore unexplored Soviet documentation. Though these materials, too, give an incomplete picture, they and other non-archival sources allow the author to improve upon previous guesses, as well as to reflect on the experience of the refugees in the unoccupied Soviet territories. |
