Description:
From Library Journal McCauley (Longman Biographical Directory of Decision-Makers in Russia & the Successor States, Longman, 1993) has compiled hundreds of profiles of individuals active during at least part of the 20th century in territory under Russian control. Not all are ethnically Russian; in fact, they represent most of the republics of the former Soviet Union. In addition to political figures (from all parts of the political spectrum), those profiled come from the worlds of science and engineering, religion, sports, the military, visual and performing arts, and literature. Some individuals were active long before the 1917 revolution. Criteria for inclusion are nowhere stated, but most of the obvious choices are included. Many entries include bibliographic sources complementing the more general works listed in the concluding bibliography, but the lack of any indexes at all makes following a theme around the alphabetical arrangement impossible. Compared with the author's earlier work or Who's Who in Russia and the CIS Republics (LJ 4/1/95), the narrative entries here are longer and also include those no longer living.

Review "Suitable for collections serving nonspecialists." -- Library Journal"[A] handy desktop guide, particularly for the novice or intermediate user, of the key personalities of Russian politics and society in the twentieth century. ...Naturally, in a book of this length, only the leading figures can be represented, but given that preimposed limitation, the author has done a good job of compiling a relatively comprehensive list. ... its timeliness, comprehensive perspective, and fresh style, should make it a welcome addition ...." -- College & Research Libraries - March 1998
