Abstract
The octogenarian former Deputy Director of the Institute of Geography, Moscow, chronicles the achievements of three prominent Soviet geographers who perished or saw their careers interrupted during the Stalin years: Yakov S. Edel'shteyn, a founding father of Soviet geomorphology, explorer-geologist, and glaciologist, who died in prison in 1952; Boris L. Lichkov, physical geographer and gifted theoretician, sent to a labor camp and then exile in the 1930s and 1940s; and Sergey N. Matveyev, a process geomorphologist pioneering the study of mass movements in mountain areas of the USSR, who died in a labor camp in 1955. Translated by Larry Richardson, Glendale, CA 91202 from: Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, seriya geograficheskaya, 1990, No. 1, pp. 125-136.
