WW2 records?

[Elena Gapova]

There are. This is a list of government offices and state archives dealing
with *списки военнослужищих ВОВ*:
http://www.abc-people.com/archives/sources.html
And yes, they reply (in particular, *Центральный архив Министерства
обороны, Подольск, Московская обл *had the military records my mother was
looking for several years ago).

There are other (electronic) databases. You can Google *списки
военнослужащих вов/*

Good luck,

Elena Gapova
