This volume contains articles on Soviet mathematical history, many of which are personal accounts by mathematicians who witnessed and contributed to the turbulent years of Moscow mathematics. In today's climate of glasnost, the stories can be told freely for the first time, with a candor uncharacteristic of the "historical" accounts published under the Soviet regime. The volume concludes with an annotated English bibliography and a Russian bibliography for further reading. This book appeals to mathematicians, historians, and anyone else interested in Soviet mathematical history. The History of Mathematics series is published jointly with the London Mathematical Society.
