Soviet and Eastern European Affairs

During 1968 - 1980 I was an active participant of Polish dissident movement. In particular, since 1976 I was a close collaborator of Workers Defence Committee - KOR.

During 1980 - 86 I offered:

A year course Polish Language and Composition at Wesleyan University. One student from this class, Laura Crago finally obtained Ph.D in Polish History at Yale University.
Delivered a series of lectures and panel discussions on Polish Dissident Movement at Rutgers University (NJ), Wesleyan University(CT), Carlton College (Min) and Lafayette College (Pa).
Published a 4 page long interview: Crisis in Poland: An Insider Sketches Its Origins for Lafayette Alumni Quarterly, Fall 1981.
Published an article War and Justice, Poland Watch, No.1 (Fall 1982), pp 29 -41.
Taught summer courses (1984 and 1985) Polish Fight for Freedom at Lafayette College.
Developed and taught Senior Colloquium Technology, Culture and Values: Soviet Model at Lafayette College. The course was pronounced by prof. Loren. A. Graham (MIT) the best course of this type offered to undergraduates in the US.
