The life and influennce of Dmitry Likhachev will be the subject of Dr. Zubok's talk: "Russian intelligentsia vanished during the Soviet times, but not quite. It turned out that one of the last Mohicans of this vanishing tribe, Dmitry Likhachev, lived long enough to have an impact on Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union." 

Vladislav M. Zubok is currently a Professor of History at Temple University, Philadelphia and will be the upcoming Chair in International History in the Department of History at the London School of Economics. His numerous publications includeInside the Kremlin's Cold War: From Stalin to Khrushchev with C. Pleshakov (Harvard University Press, 1996), A Failed Empire: the Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to Gorbachev (University of North Carolina Press, 2007), and Zhivago's Children: The Last Russian Intelligentsia (Belknap Press, 2009). He is a W. Glenn Campbell and Rita Riccardo-Campbell National Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University and a fellow at the National Security Archive at the University of George Washington and the Cold War International History Project at the Wilson Center for International Scholars.
