“Judged against other world empires, the Soviet Union had a short lifespan. The communist regime did not even last a full century: only a mere sixty-nine years passed from the Russian Revolution to the dissolution of the USSR. That is one year less than the Jews’ biblical exile to Babylon. And yet, the history of some aspects of that brief existence is only now coming to light. The USSR was a notoriously closed, secretive place. My grandmother, who was born in the 1920s and lived into the early 2000s, noted late in life that silence was safest.” (11/19/24)
