DESCRIPTION:(UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE JOINT LBAS-LIS SEMINAR FUND 2014-2
 015)\n\nThe Great Terror in the Soviet Union not only affected hundreds 
 of thousands of Soviet citizens but also tens of thousands of foreign po
 litical activists as well as non- political migrants sheltering and work
 ing on Soviet soil. By analysing life-writing sources of Iranian survivo
 rs of Soviet labour camps as well as newly released materials from Russi
 an archives\, especially the minutes of prisoner interrogations and tran
 scripts of their trials\, this talk aims to present a detailed and nuanc
 ed picture of the life and times of the Iranian community in the Soviet 
 Union during the 1930s and 1940s. Furthermore\, the talk will examine th
 e question of whether there was an ethnic dimension to the Stalinist pur
 ge: specifically\, whether Iranians were treated differently than Russia
 ns or other non-Russian ethnic groups.
