Extractions: The W. Averell Harriman Lectures were inaugurated in 1989 to honor the memory of our principal benefactor by making a special intellectual contribution to the University community and to our field. We do this by inviting a preeminent scholar, political figure, or cultural luminary related in some way to our area of study to deliver a major address for the entire University community and many other guests. The Harriman Lecture is organized by Columbia University's Harriman Institute, a multi-disciplinary teaching institute dedicated to the study of Russia, the post-Soviet states, East-Central Europe and the Balkans, is the oldest and largest institute of its kind in the United States. Former Harriman Lecturers have included statesmen such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Helmut Schmidt, and Vojislav Kostunica, scholars such as Barrington Moore, Jr., Ernest Gellner, and Katherine Verdery, and intellectuals and writers such as Andrei Sinyavsky and Imre Kertesz. The Harriman Lecture is made possible through the generosity of the family of W. Averell Harriman and the Mary W. Harriman Foundation.

Extractions: by Richard M. Ebeling , June 1991 Soviet Civilization: A Cultural History by Andrei Sinyavsky (New York: Arcade Publishing, 1990); 291 pages; $24.95. At the height of the great purges in the Soviet Union during the 1930s, Stalin personally sent instructions to the Soviet secret police which stated that in obtaining confessions from the accused, "the NKVD was given permission by the Central Committee [of the Communist Party] to use physical influence ... as a completely correct and expedient method" of interrogation. When Stalin was told that this method was bringing forth the desired results, he told the NKVD interrogators, "Give them the works until they come crawling to you on their bellies with confessions in their teeth." Then, in another purge, this one after World War II, Stalin simplified the instructions even more: "Beat, beat and, once again, beat." I recently travelled to Moscow and had the opportunity to speak with one of the researchers who was attempting to trace the names and fates of every victim during the Stalinist period. She told me that based on the evidence collected so far, the conservative estimate is that at least sixty million people were killed in various ways during the years that Lenin and Stalin ruled the Soviet Union. The ideas and consequences of the Marxist-Leninist vision which was imposed on the people of the Soviet Union are set forth in great detail in Andrei Sinyavsky's book Soviet Civilization: A Cultural History.
