Scope and Content Note

This collection consists of the papers of Professor Aleksandr Moiseevich Nekrich and covers mainly the period after he immigrated to the United States in 1976. It includes correspondence, writings, printed matter, and photocopies of Soviet, American, and German government documents relating to twentieth-century Soviet history and foreign relations, the Soviet Union during World War II, and Soviet historiography.
Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, Nekrich graduated from Moscow State University and earned a Ph.D. at Moscow's Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences, where he also received a post-doctoral degree. From 1956 until 1976, he held the title of senior scholar at the institute.
In 1965, he published his famous book June 22, 1941, an account of Stalin's pre-war record, which also got translated in the West. The official Soviet view was that he had been a steady military commander of great wisdom. Stalin's crimes had been revealed years before by Nikita S. Khrushchev, but Dr. Nekrich's documentation of Stalin's blunders and Soviet unpreparedness for the German invasion of 1941 struck a raw nerve in Moscow, and he was expelled from the Communist Party in 1967. His freedom to write and work was then curtailed by the academic establishment, which was subservient to the Party's ideology. Finally, in 1976, Dr. Nekrich was allowed to leave the Soviet Union; he emigrated to the United States, where he joined the Harvard faculty as a research fellow, attaining the rank of senior fellow in 1987.
After he left the Soviet Union, more of Dr. Nekrich's books appeared on both sides of the Atlantic. They include The Punished Peoples, on Stalin's banishment of whole nationalities; Dr. Nekrich himself witnessed deportations in the Crimea, and his book traced the fates of those ethnic groups. (See also the entry for Crimean Tatars in the SUBJECT FILE.) Later, with Michael Geller, he wrote Utopia in Power, a widely acclaimed history of the Soviet Union. Fluent in German, he also completed a study of Soviet-German relations between the wars (see "Pariahs, Partners, Predators: German-Soviet Relations, 1922-1941," in the speeches and writings file).
His papers are arranged into eleven series. The largest series contains his speeches and writings, including holograph and typescript drafts of the books mentioned above. Also of interest is the material related to his work as editor of the Obozrenie Magazine from 1982 to 1986. The series contains a full run of the magazine, which gives a general picture of life in the Soviet Union (each issue was devoted to a specific aspect of Soviet society).
The biographical file is noteworthy because it documents the difficulties Nekrich had in obtaining legal permanent residence in the United States, and helps the researcher understand his personality, character, values, and beliefs. It also contains letters he wrote his family when serving on the Russian front during World War II, which complement his memoirs about the war found in the speeches and writings series.
