Reviews

'For individuals interested in the history of science in the Soviet Union, or in the social circumstances under which scientists live in totalitarian regimes, this book will provide not only informative reading but provoke serious questions about the lives of ordinary scientists under unusual political circumstances. Highly Recommended.' J. W. Dauben, Choice '... an important contribution to historical scholarship on the post-Stalin period as well as on Soviet science, and it deserves a wide audience.'
