Independent Political Movements in the USSR Collection (1982-1991, mainly 1987-1991)
In 1988 Geoffrey Hosking, Professor of Russian History at SSEES became interested in newly emerging independent political movements in the Soviet Union. With Peter Duncan, lecturer in Contemporary Russian Politics and Society at SSEES he submitted a research proposal to the Leverhulme trust in order to make a study of this topic. The proposal was accepted and a joint project ran at SSEES during 1990-1991 with Jonathan Aves as Leverhulme research fellow. Aves later became lecturer in Russian Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
