Die Einwanderer_innen aus dem früheren Russischen Reich trugen zur Arbeiterlandschaft im Süden, Norden und Osten Luxemburgs nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg bei.

Die ersten sind die ehemaligen Kriegsgefangenen aus den Lagern in Frankreich, Belgien und Deutschland. Ein Teil ist vor Kriegsende als Flüchtlinge im Lande, die anderen kommen nach dem Waffenstillstand im November 1918.

Indexing oral histories digitally at the timecode level is a practice increasingly adopted for collections, often with the goal of creating online access to recordings.
