About the project
"Born in the USSR" is a bilingual encyclopedia of the Soviet era: a website, video and social content in one place.
How we work
We gather verified, accurate information about the Soviet Union: its history, culture, science, economy and daily life. Key facts rest on statistics, documents and serious scholarship.
Where historians disagree, we present the different positions rather than passing one off as the only truth.
Two languages
Every entry is available in Russian and English. The language switch is in the top-right corner.
