Abstract
Seymour Martin Lipset (1918–2006) was born and raised in New York City to Russian‐Jewish immigrants. His father, who met Stalin while in Russia, worked as a typographer in both countries and was favorably disposed toward the Russian Revolution, at one point even contemplating returning to the Soviet Union. On the other hand, both parents encouraged their son to become a dentist, thus they thought ensuring a successful entry into the American mainstream. Lipset did not heed their advice. From this upbringing, Lipset's long career would be shaped by his varied engagements with his Jewish background and socialism.
