PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
MEMORIAL International is a Russian historical and civil rights society focused on recording and publicising the Soviet Union's totalitarian past, and monitoring human rights in Russia and other post-Soviet states. Georgia Thomson is a translator from Russian to English. She studied at the Institut Superieur d'Interpretation et de Traduction (ISIT) in Paris and went on to attain a First Class Honours degree in Russian and French. She lived in Moscow for several years and is now based in London.
Thanks to the unrelenting efforts of Memorial, the Ostarbeiter are no longer forgotten victims. OST is a valuable and important history; it is, moreover, a testament to revealing and recording uncomfortable truths, at a time when the myth of Russia is once again being remade, and attacks on those who would deny that myth increase * TLS *
