    "In the '60s, the Russian Institute provided those of us enrolled in the University's Public Law and Government Department a home base: intellectual sustenance, camaraderie, and a sense of purpose. Although, happily, most of what we learned is now archeology, the discipline and love of the subject continue."

    RI '69

    Professor of Russian and Slavic Studies, New York University

    "I recall above all, and value even more as the years pass, the wonderfully eclectic collection of senior scholars gathered at the Institute in the 1960s--all of them devoted in their own ways to understanding and teaching about Russia, none of them instilling any orthodoxy in their students, and few of them afflicted by the cold-war passions of the time. I know of no academic institution that could have been a better place to study, then or now."
