Using various archival documents, personal papers, diaries, memoirs, contemporary periodicals, and more than 70 interviews, this essay explores how one year, 1968, changed the life of Nikolay N. Bolkhovitinov (1930–2008), a Soviet historian and the author of pioneering studies on Russo-American relations. During this year, Bolkhovitinov used funding from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) to support his first research trip to the USA, where he intended not only to discover ‘the real America’ through various forms of cultural consumption, but also to build his international reputation as a historian of early America and an expert in Russo-American relations.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Quaestio Rossica}, author={Zhuk, Sergei}, year={2016}, month={Jul.}, pages={15–42} }
