Oral History Project: Russians in Los Angeles
In spring 2008 students in the UCLA Russian Flagship Program conducted interviews with Russian-speaking senior citizens living in West Hollywood. The interviewees immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1980s-early 1990s after spending most of their lives in the former Soviet Union. The students created reports based on their interviews, and included essays, family photographs, and video and audio recordings.
