Acknowledgments
The many debts of friendship and scholarly assistance
which I have incurred in the writing of this book can never
be adequately repaid, but it is gratifying to be able at least
to record some of them publicly.
Professor Charles Jelavich, formerly of the University
of California at Berkeley and now at Indiana University,
suggested this study and gave generously of his time and
his expert criticism; I am heavily in his debt. Among
those who read the manuscript and gave it the benefit of
their scholarly, meticulous criticism, I want especially to
thank Professor Nicholas V. Riasanovsky of the University
of California at Berkeley; Professor Benjamin N. Ward,
also of Berkeley; Professor Wayne S. Vucinich of Stanford
University; and Professor Loren R. Graham of Indiana
University. Professor Carl Landauer of Berkeley read an
early version of the work and made many suggestions for
new and significant research.
For their many kindnesses and frank exchanges of opin­
ion I want to record my warmest thanks to Mr. V. G.
Karasev of Moscow State University, to Professor Vasa
Cubrilovic of Belgrade University, and to Dr. Dimitrije
Prodanovic of the Institut drustvenih nauka in Belgrade.
Further, Professor Stephen Lukashevich of the University
of Delaware made a number of thoughtful suggestions con­
cerning my analysis, and Mr. Sergius Yakobson, Chief of
the Slavic and Central European Division of the Library
of Congress, answered my many queries with unfailing,
scholarly assistance.
To the Ford Foundation, which provided generous sup­
port over a period of a year and a half in Berkeley and
Belgrade, I am indeed most grateful. Likewise, I am great­
ly indebted to the Inter-University Committee on Travel
