Abstract:
The article is dedicated to the creation and analysis of a collection of private correspondence of Soviet Jews from the years 1941–1945. The correspondence was between the Jews fighting at the front and their relatives and acquaintances evacuated to the USSR hinterland. Most of the letters and diaries have come to the Diaspora Research Centre at Tel Aviv University from the family archives of the World War II veterans, or of their heirs, who live now in various countries of the world. The author's conclusion is that the wartime correspondence and diaries are a valuable historical source, which largely enriches our knowledge of the deadly struggle between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

Abstract:
The Article is devoted to one of the tragic pages of history of the USSR, the famine of 1932–1933. Closeness of archival documents in the Soviet period on the subject was the cause of much speculation, as in post-Soviet Russia and in other former Soviet republics. Moreover, in many studies appeared quite mystical figure of 10 million dead from starvation. The article is completely one from the archives, namely early translation of the article from the Austrian newspaper «Reichpost» where it was first announced this figure.
