Soviet Union: Repatriation of Soviet Citizens after World War II: Yalta Victims Memorial

A file of correspondence and newspaper reports concerning a London memorial to the victims of the Yalta repatriations.

Other documents in the file cover a request by the prime minister that the inscription be uncontroversial and avoid imputing guilt to previous British governments.
