Abstract

Based on more than a quarter century of evolving work, this “thought piece” is a re-evaluation of Soviet science during the Khrushchev era (1954–1964). It focuses on a series of remarkable events during the so-called “Thaw” (1955–1958) that give evidence of a fundamental transformation then occurring in Soviet science under the influence of the Cold War. These developments suggest the critical role played by personal networks in the evolution of Russian science. The piece concludes with some methodological implications for studying Soviet science, the Cold War, and the history of science writ large.
