Abstract

Every tenth-year anniversary of the October Revolution has been the occasion for a burst of publication by Soviet scholars to celebrate the event. Each successive decade has witnessed an ever larger output of documentary and memoir collections, symposia, monographs, surveys, brochures, and textbooks. The half-century year 1967 promises to be the culminating point of this effort, with hundreds of historical publications of every type now appearing or promised.

I had some advance acquaintance with this anniversary historiography during the month which I spent as an exchange scholar in Moscow and Leningrad in the fall fall of 1966 under the United States-Soviet cultural exchange agreement.
