View original postWhere did they leave from? My parents left in 1973 and 1975. My father left from Moscow.

That's fascinating. I love hearing things like that.

They were Volga-Germans, not sure of the exact location. Lutherans. My grandma said she could never get any of them to talk about Russia, so the only thing she could tell us was that they'd repeat "the Bolsheviks were coming."
