Abstract

Abstract On January 8, 1988, A. A. Iskenderov, the newly appointed editor of the leading Soviet history journal, Voprosy istorii, assembled a group of distinguished historians from Moscow and Leningrad to discuss the role of historians in the fundamental changes stirring Soviet society. The publication of the proceedings of the remarkable roundtable discussion shortly thereafter, comprising this issue of Soviet Studies in History (SSH), agitated Soviet historians as well as the journal's readers. In the future, when the history of perestroika is written, the meeting sponsored by Voprosy istorii may well come to be viewed as a noteworthy turning point.
