Richard Pipes

Two lectures, delivered by Dr. Richard Pipes (History, Harvard U.) in May 1993 as part of the Norwegian Nobel Institute+s Spring Lecture Series, discuss Russian communism in historical and philosophical terms rather than political and economic ones, concluding with a cautionary comparison of communism and contemporary Western liberalism. The Reagan administration's Soviet expert (1981-82), Pipes is a world authority on Russia. He describes himself as a conservative anarchist; Admittedly adverse to being ordered around, but respecting traditions and customs, and states that his lectures reflect this attitude. References.
