2007 Reports

From the Director

Nepomnyashchy, Catharine Theimer

Sadly, the Harriman Institute this year bids farewell to three figures who have in large part defined it both as an institution and as a community. As most of you already know, Marshall Shulman—member of the institute’s first class, Director of the institute for many years, architect of the transformation of the Russian Institute into the W. Averell Harriman Institute for Advanced Study of the Soviet Union and ultimately the Harriman Institute, heart and soul of our community—passed away peacefully at home in the company of his family on June 21st at the age of 91.
