of the Communist Party and Soviet state archives made it possible for the first time to write the-history of the relatively little known Bolshevik institutions of higher learning dedicated to remaking the life of the mind.Along the way, I have incurred many debts which it is my pleasure to acknowledge.Like many first monographs, this book began as a disser tation.During my graduate work at Yale in the early 1990s, and in many cases well after I had defended the dissertation, I was aided above all by Ivo Banac, Paul Bushkovitch, Katerina Clark, Mark Steinberg, and Mark von Hagen.My work has also developed within the orbit of Columbia Univer sity's Harriman Institute, first in a semester as an exchange scholar, later as a frequent pilgrim from the provinces, and finally as a post doctoral fellow.I have had the opportunity to present my work on the 1920s several times at the institute in recent years.The generation of younger historians I grew up with there has influenced
