Abstract

State Archive o f the Russian Federation (GARF). His inability to gain access to the Presidential Archive (TsKhSD) in the middle 1990s (an obstacle to many young Western scholars at that time) limited his ability to obtain records from the highest po- litical levels and forced him to use industrial newspapers and journals to glean insight into policy. Duskin, however, makes good use o f the insights p r o v i d e d b y James C. Scott and others in his interpretation o f the "transcripts" provided by these sources. Filtzer, in contrast, h a d much more success in obtaining archival material. He too uses RGAE and GARF, but much more extensively than Duskin. Filtzer also includes substantial research from the Russian State Archive o f Social-Political History (RGASPI, formerly RTSKhIDNI) and the Central Archive o f Historical and Political Documentation in St Petersburg (the former Leningrad Party Archive). As a result, Filtzer is able to construct a rich and compelling portrait o f postwar conditions. Two final contrasts between these works concern style: one specific to each author and one more likely the w o r k o f the respective publishers. Duskin
