Idiotic statements continue to pour out of my history teacher in a flood. However, today, he said something... unusual.
He said that tens of thousands of people moved from the US to the USSR during the Great Depression.
I am almost positive that is false. I can't find any evidence either way, though. Anyone know anything?

About ten thousand foreign specialists were hired by Stalin during "industrialization". But they were not immigrants. Then there were a number of illegal immigrants from Finland and some from Poland - some rural folk from the border regions. That stopped soon after they figured it out.
