Guber, professor of History at Moscow University, and editor of the journal "New and Newest History," said in the latest issue of his periodical that "acquaintance with the first American university" he visited showed him to "what an outstanding scale" the study of Soviet history, economics, and culture was carried on in the U.S.A...
