Selected alumni of The Harriman Institute

Jack F. Matlock Jr.
RI ‘52
Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, 1987-1991
"The Russian Institute gave me a solid foundation--and a flying start--in a lifelong career dealing with Russia and the Soviet Union. The Institute's interdisciplinary, area-focused approach was ideally suited for one who needed to understand the whole society, not just a single aspect."

George S. N. Luckyj
RI '51
(deceased)
"I remember with great fondness Philip Mosely, the late director of the Institute and a teacher at Columbia, who encouraged me in my work on 'Litarary Politics in the Soviet Ukraine,' a topic which, in those days, was viewed by some as dealing with 'the lunatic fringe' (Ukraine)."

Robert O. Freedman
RI '65
Peggy Meyerhoff Pearlstone Professor of Political Science
Baltimore Hebrew University
"I think that my studies at the Russian Institute were perhaps the best intellectual experiences I have had in my life, given the fact that I had the opportunity to study with such 'greats' as Zbigniew Brzezinski (my dissertation advisor), Alexander Dallin, Alexander Erlich, John Hazard and many others."
