520 This monograph provides a concise introduction to the
tangled issues of communication between Russian and
Western scientists during the Cold War. It details the
extent to which mid-twentieth-century researchers and
practitioners were able to communicate with their
counterparts on the opposite side of the Iron Curtain.
Drawing upon evidence from a range of disciplines, a
decade-by-decade account is first given of the varying
levels of contact that existed via private correspondence
and conference attendance. Next, the book examines the
exchange of publications and the availability of one
side's work in the libraries of the other. It then goes on
to compare general language abilities on opposite sides of
the Iron Curtain, with comments on efforts in the West to
learn Russian and the systematic translation of Russian
work. In the end, author Christopher Hollings argues that
physical accessibility was generally good in both
directions, but that Western scientists were afflicted by
greater linguistic difficulties than their Soviet
counterparts whose major problems were bureaucratic in
nature. This volume will be of interest to historians of
Cold War science, particularly those who study
communications and language issues. In addition, it will
be an ideal starting pointing for anyone looking to know
more about this fascinating area.
