American historians of Russia have always been an intrepid lot. Their research trips were spent not in Cambridge or Paris, Rome or Berlin, but in Soviet dormitories with official monitors. They were seeking access to a historical record that was purposefully shrouded in secrecy, boxed up and locked away in closed archives. Their efforts, indeed their curiosity itself, sometimes raised suspicion at home as well as in a Soviet Union that did not want to be known even while it felt misunderstood. This lively volume brings together the reflections of twenty leading specialists on Russian history representing four generations. They relate their experiences as historians and researchers in Russia from the first academic exchanges in the 1950s through the Cold War years, detente, glasnost, and the first post-Soviet decade. Their often moving, acutely observed stories of Russian academic life record dramatic change both in the historical profession and in the society that they have devoted their careers to understanding.

When the Soviet Union collapsed universities were freed from state control and left to themselves. This forced universities to be much more market-oriented. This book explores this transformation from the end of the Soviet Union until the present. Based on extensive original research, the book charts the struggles of universities, showing how chaos and decline came to what had been one of the triumphs of the Soviet Union - a higher education system which provided a high standard of advanced education to large numbers of people and made major research achievements. The book shows how a lack of funds, lack of commercial experience and the ending of former means of support such as strong university-state industry links brought about huge disruption; how universities responded with a range of measures such as charging for tutoring and examinations, handling research on a commercial basis and new forms of co-operation; and how all this impacted on subjects of study and on underlying ideas about what a university is for. The book argues that the shock to the system in Russia was so severe that the Russian case serves as an excellent 'survival guide' to universities experiencing similar changes in other parts of the world. By investigating the phenomenon of Russian universities becoming more market-oriented the book contributes to developing further the marketization concept. It summarizes the existing knowledge in this field of study, offers a new framework for analysis of the phenomenon of university marketization and discusses the marketization of Russian universities in the light of comparative studies.

In 1975, Dr. Onesphor Kyara left Tanzanian, East Africa, for Russia. He spent one year learning Russian at Donetsk State University, Ukraine. In 1976, he transferred to Kuban State University, Russian Republic, to pursue a five-year degree in universal history. He graduated with MA (History) in 1981. The book presents his life experience in the communist society and its education system. It includes his education both inside and outside the classroom. Shortage of goods and inadequate finances necessitated participation in the black market, relying on goods from the West. His trips to London, Stockholm, West Berlin, Paris, Rome and New York are touched upon. Among notable observations are, ignorance is a logical legal defense; the UN should have come up with a universal language; English is a tough and polluting language; space exploration is a necessity the world cannot yet afford; original revolutions have taken place in two nations; democracy has yet to exist; communism does not work anywhere, and capitalism does not work everywhere. Super power Cold War has been replaced by "Super Religion" covert wars. Bongo (Swahili for brain, mind, and consciousness) is the ultimate creator, and destroyer. Nourishing bongo is the purpose of life. We all need to read the Bible, Koran, and Torah. Religious organizations should participate in government. Natural selection stopped with the first bullet; it will resume with the last one. The future of the world hinges on universal language, true democracy, disarmament, and Bongoism. Dr. Kyara left Tanzania for United States in 1985 to pursue post-graduate studies at Brown University, Providence, RI. He earned MA (Anthropology in 1988). He transferred to Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, for doctoral studies, earning Ph. D (Anthropology) in 1999. He teaches anthropology, sociology, and related studies for Thomas Edison State College, Trenton, NJ, and University of Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ. Three Russian observers contributed t
