WW2 records?

[Jules Levin]

I just advised someone on another list that there are no Russian 
military record offices that one can write to regarding possible service 
in WW2.  All he has is a name, and doesn't know if the person actually 
served or not.
But now I have doubts.  Was my advice accurate?  I did tell him that 
there are FSU web sites that are collecting names of those who served 
and fell during the war, etc.
