In October of 1967, on the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, the Hoover Institution at Stanford University sponsored a week-long conference on 'Fifty Years of Communism in Russia.' In addition to the United States, participants came from Great Britain, Germany, France, and Canada - and the Soviet Embassy in Washington was also concerned enough to send several observers. The papers included in this volume give a well rounded picture of all aspects of the first fifty years of Soviet history: Bertram D. Wolfe, 'Marxism and the Russian Revolution'; Leonard Schapiro, 'The Basis and Development of the Soviet Polity'; G. Warren Nutter, 'The Soviet Economy: Retrospect and Prospect,' John N. Hazard, 'Rigidity and Adaptability of Soviet Law'; Ivo J. Lederer, 'Soviet Foreign Policy'; Jean Laloy, 'Proletarian Internationalism,' Raymond L. Garthoff, 'Military Theory and Practice'; John Turkevich, 'Fifty Years of Soviet Science'; Max Hayward, 'Themes and Democratic Challenge to Communism.'

To acquaint the users of the new edition with the original spirit and methodolgy of compiling the Biographical Dictionary, we have left intact the original Introduction and the Guide to Abbreviations. Much else has been changed, added, or cut out in the remaining parts of the volume: the list of biographies, the list of pseudonyms, and the text of individual biographies themselves. To express in figures the scope of change: 35 completely new biographies have been written, escalating the total number of biographies from 718 to 753; whereas the original edition identified 358 pseudonyms, that numer is now 435; and, in 229 biographies that appeared in the first edition, several corrective or additional facts have been supplied.
