Andrew Janco (Human Rights) studies Russian and Soviet history. His work focuses on the history of warfare, displacement and human rights protections for refugees. His dissertation, “Soviet ‘Displaced Persons’ in Europe, 1941-1951″ (University of Chicago 2012), studies the westward migration of more than five million Soviet citizens during World War II, their experiences as postwar “displaced persons” and eventual resettlement as refugees during the Cold War. He is currently adapting this work into a book.
