Abstract

In June 1992 the Russian security establishment was still firmly ensconced in the rows of buildings behind the ochre block of the Lubianka in central Moscow. In what was once an aristocrat’s villa, the Rehabilitation Group of the Ministry of Security for Moscow City and Region was coming to terms with the new post-communist Russia. Their office was an important address for those who now had the right to find out what had happened to relatives arrested in the Soviet era. At the reception desk in the rundown villa on Bolshaia Lubianka, or in the reading room of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Security on Kuznetskii Most, most of the scholars represented in this book first got to know each other, forging links of friendship and collaboration that were renewed at conferences in Russia and Germany.KeywordsSocial DisorderRehabilitation GroupSecret PoliceSoviet SocietyGreat TerrorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
