In the brandnew Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow, a highlight from the collections of the IISH is on show: the manuscript of the memoirs of the Russian writer and advocate of freedom of speech Alexander Herzen (1812-1870), Byloe i dumy (English-language edition My Past and Thoughts, the Memoirs of Alexander Herzen). Herzen left his fatherland in 1847 to fight a propaganda war against the Tsarist regime and the restrictions to freedom of speech in Russia.

Ende der 1970er Jahre startete die Osteuropa-Abteilung des Historischen Seminars der Universität Zürich unter der Leitung von Prof. Carsten Goehrke das Forschungsprojekt "Auswanderung aus der Schweiz in das Zarenreich". Neben zahlreichen Studien zu kantons- und berufsspezifischen Aspekten der Russlandwanderung haben die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter des Lehrstuhls für Osteuropäische Geschichte eine Datenbank mit Angaben zu fast 4'000 Berufstätigen erstellt, systematisch Materialien gesammelt, Tonbandinterviews mit Rückwanderern geführt und eigene Forschungsarbeiten vorangetrieben.
