  We review the Pohlmeyer reduction procedure of the superstring sigma model on
AdS_n x S^n leading to a gauged WZW model with an integrable potential coupled
to 2d fermions. In particular, we consider the case of the Green-Schwarz
superstring on AdS_3 x S^3 supported by RR flux. The bosonic part of the
reduced model is given by the sum of the complex sine-Gordon Lagrangian and its
sinh-Gordon counterpart. We determine the corresponding fermionic part and
discuss possible existence of hidden 2d supersymmetry in the reduced action. We
also elaborate on some general aspects of the Pohlmeyer reduction applied to
the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring.
