His book points out the traits that were, common to the Russian conservative and how these char acteristics influenced political thinking in Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution. "Their (conservatives') idealiza tion 'of traditional institutions and values made them aware of the continuity of Russian history," he said. "For.this reason, they pro vide the historian with many in sights into Russian society and cultural life that are usually ab sent in the writings of the radical intelligentsia." THADEN FIRST became inter rested in this topic when he was studying at the University of Paris in 1950. He began research on this subject at the University of Wash ington while studying as a post doctoral scholar, during 1951-52. After 1952 his research was con tinued over a period of 10 years at libraries in the United .States, Western Europe, Finland and the Soviet Union. t BarolL sis Irene —bill tal•man AD 7-4949 Applications for staff head posi tions of "News and Views," Col lege of Home Economics publica tion, are now available in 111 A Home ..Economies.
