Who's Disinterested in Soviet Archives, Redux

Last week I flagged a Claire Berlinski City Journal essay about Soviet-archive research (and the alleged lack of western interest thereof), which was criticized sharply by Ron Radosh. Just to update the story, City Journal has published responses by Berlinski, and also Radosh and several of the characters from the original essay (best to read their submisstions from the bottom up).

DON'T DO IT! Radosh will bore you away from the good stuff at the top.

Agreed. Sergei Cristo's was brief and on the nose.

UNinterested, you semi-literate fundamentalist fuck!

Sorry, I meant market fundamentalist fuck. Matt Welch is a semi-literate market fundamentalist fuck. How on earth did he get a job as an editor?

Every time you crack a joke I get a raging boner.
