To the memory of Ambassador Charles E. (Chip) Bohlen, who enjoyed peeling die layers from what he liked to call the Soviet Onion and whose indomitable leadership and wise counsel inspired and guided a generation of Foreign Service specialists on Russia

The Answer

But, I tell you, no past years have been spent in vain,

No unnecessary paths taken,

No things possessed without purpose,

No worlds unperceived,

No gifts left unacknowledged,

And no love given in vain.

And its never too late to start life all over again,

Start down the entire path,

So that no word or sigh from the past need be canceled out.

Olga Berggolts
1952, 1960

Institute for East West Studies

The Institute for EastWest Studies (IEWS), founded in 1981 as a transAtlantic partnership, serves as a catalyst to build sustainable democratic market societies in Central and Eastern Europe and to facilitate their achieving peaceful and productive interstate relations together with full integration into the community of open societies.

The primary goal of the IEWS is to develop and apply global knowledge to help make the societies of post-Communist Europe more productive, just, and responsible at the local, national, and international levels. To this end, the IEWS conducts programs of public policy research and analysis and serves as an action vehicle for achieving practical results in the transformation to civil societies. The IEWS emphasizes wider citizen participation in political and economic life, the enhancement of local community self-reliance and self-government, and the development of leadership in parliamentary bodies and grass-roots organizations.

The IEWS operates through a network of centers, including New York, Prague, Warsaw, and Budapest, and collaborates with individuals and institutions in order to link Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States with Western Europe and the United States.

Heyward Isham, born in New York City in 1926, graduated from Yale University in 1947 and pursued Russian language and area studies at Columbia University and later at the U.S. Army Language School at Regensburg, Germany (now the George C. Marshall Center at Garmisch). Entering the Foreign Service in 1950, he served as a political and economic officer at U.S. missions in Berlin, Moscow, Hong Kong, and Paris, where he was Deputy Chief of the U.S. Delegation to the Vietnam Peace Talks. He has also served as U.S. ambassador to Haiti, senior foreign service inspector, and faculty adviser at the National Defense University. Since retiring from the Foreign Service, Isham has worked as a consulting editor at Doubleday, where he acquired and edited a number of books dealing with contemporary Russia, and in his present position as vice-president of the Institute for EastWest Studies, where he has developed and implemented projects on postcommunist reconstruction for East Central Europe and Russia. He is the editor, with Maurice Friedberg, of Soviet Society Under Gorbachev: Current Trends and the Prospects for Reform (M.E. Sharpe, 1987).

Richard Pipes, born in Cieszyn, Poland, July 11, 1923, came to the United States in 1940 and was naturalized in 1943. Pipes received an A.B. from Cornell University in 1945 and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1950. Since 1950 he has been a member of the Harvard University faculty, where he is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of History and Walter Channing Fellow in the Humanities. He has served as director of the Russian Research Center, Harvard University; as senior consultant at the Stanford Research Institute; and as director of East European and Soviet Affairs, National Security Council. Among his many books are The Formation of the Soviet Union (rev. ed., 1964), Russia Observed (1989), and The Russian Revolution (1990). His most recent work is Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime (1994).

Ales (Aleksandr Mikhailovich) Adamovich (19271994) fought as a teenager in a partisan detachment in Belarus, and his stirring wartime prose gained him renown in later years. An author, political commentator, screenwriter, member of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences, and professor of philology, Adamovich became a prominent critic of Stalinism and an advocate of political democracy who made his views known through television debates, novellas, articles, and speeches on the floor of the USSR Congress of Peoples Deputies, in which he served as a deputy (198991). His many writings included
