David Zimmerman. Ensnared between Hitler and Stalin: Refugee Scientists in the USSR
Once Burnt, Twice Shy: The Failure of Mutual Assistance Against Nazi Germany, 1933—1935
When historians look at the origins of the Second World War, they often focus on well-known events like the Czechoslovak crisis in 1938, or the failure of Anglo-Franco-Soviet negotiations in 1939 and the resulting Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact. Even I have done so, and yet there were earlier failures of mutual assistance against Nazi Germany, which are less well-known but just as important in understanding why war broke out in September 1939. O…
L. Douds, Inside Lenin’s Government: Ideology, Power and Practice in the Early Soviet State
Stalin. Vol. II: Waiting for Hitler 1928–1941
‘Iosif Stalin was a human being’, Stephen Kotkin writes at the beginning of his second volume of the biography of the Soviet dictator. ‘He collected watches. He played skittles and billiards. He lo
Fiasco: The Anglo-Franco-Soviet Alliance That Never Was and the Unpublished British White Paper, 1939–1940
This article is about the Anglo-Franco-Soviet negotiations in 1939 for an alliance against Nazi Germany and about how the British government later tried to represent those negotiations to public opinion. The first part of the essay presents the Soviet point of view on the negotiations and how the British and French governments, though mainly the British, reacted to Soviet alliance proposals. It is a fresh representation of the Soviet perspective …
The Battle for Moscow
The Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 Remains a subject of intense interest for historians, and especially for David Stahel. Since 2009 Stahel has published five books on the first six
For Peace and Money: French and British Finance in the Service of Tsars and Commissars

Who was Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin
It is the perennial question. Who was Stalin? What did he think? How did he function as a leader and as a dictator? What was his world view? How did the Soviet peoples cope with his bloody depredat

Zara Steiner. The Triumph of the Dark: European International History 1933–1939
Zara Steiner's long book is a diplomatic history of how World War II began. It is the second of a two-volume history of the European interwar years. The author, well-known simply as Zara and nearly iconic in stature, has produced an impressive history of a still controversial subject. It is a prodigious work, reflecting great industry and mastery of Western scholarship on the 1930s. The book's title sounds like a heading from J. R. R. Tolkien, bu…

“Only the USSR Has… Clean Hands”: The Soviet Perspective on the Failure of Collective Security and the Collapse of Czechoslovakia, 1934–1938 (Part 2)
The second part of this two part essay focuses on the Czechoslovak crisis in 1938, based on papers from the Arkhiv vneshnei politiki Rossiiskoi Federatsii in Moscow and the recently published journals of Soviet ambassador in London, Ivan M. Maiskii. The essay is also grounded in British, French, and Romanian archives, and the standard document collections, including the American and German series.

A Soviet Eye on France from the rue de Grenelle in Paris, 1924–1940
The present article is about Soviet perceptions of French politics and society as reported by the five Soviet ambassadors in Paris between 1924 and 1940, and about how their reports influenced Soviet policy making in Moscow. This article is based largely upon unpublished documents from the Soviet foreign policy archives in Moscow (AVPRF), specifically opened to researchers in the 1990s. It contends that these Soviet ambassadors established effect…

British and American Anticommunism before the Cold War
It is not often that contemporary historians focus on anticommunism as an ideology and a political force before the beginning of the Cold War in 1945–1946. But the Finnish historian Markku Ruotsila has now turned to that very topic. Originating as a doctoral thesis at the University of Cambridge, the author's study focused on the period of the Russian Revolution, foreign intervention, and civil war from 1917 to 1921. He has since added another 48…

Chapter 11: Social Measurement and Social Indicators
Our ability to monitor social change and evaluate the condition of our society by means of social indicators depends on our ability to measure a wide variety of social phenomena with acceptable reliability and precision. Thus efforts to improve social measurement—both measurement techniques and data collection procedures—are central to the development of improved social indicators. But if these activities are closely linked, they remain separate …

In September 1927 Aristide Briand, the French foreign minister, and Carl von Schubert, the state secretary at the Auswdrtiges Amt, the German foreign ministry, met in Geneva to discuss matters of mutual concern during sessions of the League of Nations Council. The conversation was cordial, as befitted that brief, glorious period after the conclusion of the Locarno security accords and the return of European economic prosperity in 1925-1926. For t…
A Fearful Concatenation of Circumstances’: The Anglo–Soviet Rapprochement, 1934–6
On 17 January 1936 Winston S. Churchill, the back-bench bête noire of the Conservative Party, wrote to his wife Clemmie from Marrakesh, where he was on holiday, about the frightful international situation. Japan had ruptured the conference on naval aramaments, and Nazi Germany was rearming at break-neck speed. The ‘two predatory military dictatorships’, it seemed to Churchill, were now working together. ‘No wonder’, he said, ‘the Russian bear is …

The Politics of Anti-Bolshevism: The French Government and the Russo-Polish War, December 1919 to May 1920
On 26 April 1920 the Polish army launched a major offensive against Soviet Russia. The question of the French government's role in the unleashing of this attack has long been a matter of historical debate. P. S. Wandycz, whose work is the most recent detailed account of French eastern policy during the early twenties, attributes no major responsibility to the French for the outbreak of all-out war on Poland's eastern frontier. He states that the …

Going to the Source: AFDC Recipients' Perspectives on Their Unemployment
Interviews conducted with 500 AFDC-UP recipients in the rural San Joaquin Valley in California yielded information regarding the factors recipients believe are the most important impediments to finding work. Three primary factors were detected that included the lack of available work, physical disability, and the lack of adequate child care. Secondary factors are also discussed, as well as policy implications and recommendations for human service…

Anti-Bolshevism in French Foreign Policy: The Crisis in Poland in 1920
In the summer of 1920, almost two years after the end of the Great War, much of eastern Europe was still not at peace. Russia had been the scene of a long and bloody civil war in which powerfully armed counterrevolutionary forces sought to overthrow the Soviet Government of Lenin and Trotsky. By early 1920 Soviet armies had defeated their principal internal foes, but they still faced an external enemy in the western borderlands of Russia. This wa…

For example, the Government's UK Strategy for Sustainable Development, put out by the Department of the Environment (DOE) in July 1993 as a consultation paper, calls for 'a sustainable transport policy, looking to both the short …
