Overview
[edit]The Current Digest is a publication in the field of Soviet/Russian studies that has been used as a primary source by scholars such as Marilyn Young and Michael Launer,[1] as well as N.C. Jones.[2]
The journal was founded in 1949, when the American self-taught Sovietologist, Leo Gruliow[3] found support to establish a weekly compendium of translations from the Russian-language press. Gruliow had spent a number of years in Moscow, first as a journalist for Moscow News from 1933-1938, then as an administrator for Russian War Relief after World War II. Gruliow's publication, sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council, was called The Current Digest of the Soviet Press (CDSP).
Historical Significance
[edit]During its run as the Current Digest of Soviet Press, scholars such as Brain McNair[4] and George Fischer[5] used the journal as a source of news from the Soviet Union,[6] The journal has covered key historical events such as the establishment of NATO, the death of Stalin,[7] the Warsaw Pact, "thaw" under Khrushchev, the Cuban missile crisis, the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Soviet-American arms control agreements, the Chernobyl disaster, perestroika, wave of revolutions in Eastern Europe, and the dissolution of the USSR. Throughout this time, CDSP published weekly, even as its ownership changed – first to the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (now known as ASEEES), and then to the CDSP's own self-supporting nonprofit corporation. In 2006, the Current Digest was acquired by East View Information Services,[8] which continues to publish 52 issues a year under the imprint of East View Press.[9]
