Focused on studying the past and present of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia,The Russian Review seeks to go beyond the confounds of Russia to explore the diversity of the Soviet Union and its successor states. Themes of the journal's publication include gender, sexuality, theatre, geography, political history, military history, and material culture.[1] The journal's board of trustees is not aligned with any national, political, or professional association.
The Russian Review was founded by a small group ofRussian émigrés, including geologistGeorge de Mohrenschildt, and American historian and journalist turned anti-Soviet advocateWilliam Henry Chamberlin, who were looking to establish the first American academic journal focused on the history and society of Russia and the Soviet Union.[2]
The journal's first issue was published in November 1941 during the wake ofNazi Germany'sinvasion of the Soviet Union. The first issue of the magazine included texts by the authorVladimir Nabokov, activistHélène Iswolsky, and historian and "father" of Slavic Studies in the United States,Michael Karpovich.[1] From its founding, the journal was critical of the Soviet system.[3]
Early issues of the journal were interested in portraying an accurate historic and sociocultural image of Russia and the Soviet Union to the United States.[2]
