Doctoral Dissertations on Russia, the Soviet Union, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe Accepted by Universities in the United States and Canada, 2011

Abstract

This list, covering dissertations in the social sciences, humanities, and fi ne arts was compiled through systematic searching in ProQuest’s Dissertations & Theses database, as well as OCLC WorldCat, and other university library catalogs. The current list for 2011 contains 231 titles from 105 universities, and covers titles that were available for electronic database searching from September 2011 to July 2012. A list of dissertations, through 1959, can be found in Jesse J. Dossick’s Doctoral Research on Russia and the Soviet Union (New York, 1960) and, through 1975, in the accompanying volume, Doctoral Research on Russia and the Soviet Union, 1960 –1975 (New York, 1976). The second volume contains more than three thousand titles that have appeared in the Slavic Review’s annual list since 1964 (the 1964 list also included dissertations accepted from 1960–1963), as well as items not previously included in the fi rst volume. In addition, the second volume offers some critical and statistical analysis, more than thirty major classifi cations, numerous subclassifi cations and sub-subclassifi cations, cross-references, and index of Russian and Soviet names, and an index of authors. A list of dissertations from 1976 to 1991 may be found in the winter issues of the Slavic Review through the year 1992.
