HISTORY;
The Institute of the U.S.A. and Canada of the U.S.S.R.
Academy of Sciences (Institut SShA i Kanady AN SSSR)was one of
the last regional studies centers to be established.
Set up during
late 1967, the U.S.A. Institute was created, in large part, from
among the various research sectors at the Institute of the World
Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) dealing with North
American concerns.
Among the scholars leaving IMEMO for the
new institute in 19&7 suid 1968 were* A.V. Anikin, S.A. Dalin,
R.M. Entov, N.D. Gauznev, A.A. Kozlovskii, V.A. Martynov,
V.V. Rymalov, and A.I. Shapiro.
From the very beginning, there were questions over the
role of Canadian studies in the institute.
Some argued that
Canadian studies should remain at IMEMO with European specialists?
others, that the study of Canada, as a North American nation,
should be linked to the study of the U.S.
This issue was resolved
when, in 197^* the U.S.A. Institute was renamed the Institute of
the U.S.A. and Canada, and a new Canadian Section was established.
ORGANIZATION AND STAFFi
The U.S.A. Institute employs upwards of 300 people,
approximately half of whom are professionals, the remainder making
up the support staff of the Institute.
The staff of the Institute
is younger than that of most other research centers, and is made
up of many sons and daughters of the Soviet Union's political
elite.
Nearly all have attended either the Moscow State Institute
of International Relations (Moskovskii gosudarstvennyi institut
mezhdunarodnykh otnoshenii MID SSSR), or Moscow State University
(Moskovskii gosudarstvennyi universitet)f nearly a fifth have
been stationed either at the Soviet Mission to the U.N. in
New York, or at the Soviet Embassy in Moscow.
The Institute is made up of research departments plus
an independent Canadian Section.
Among the seven departments arei
Foreign Policy; Domestic-Political Policies; Social and Ideological
Policies; Economic Policies; Management; Political-Military
Policies and Information.
The fate of the Management Department
is somewhat in doubt as its chief, B.Z. Mil'ner, has become
deputy director of the newly formed Systems Analysis Institute.
Among the many scholars who have served as department chiefs
at the U.S.A. Institute are: L. Bagramin; lu.I. Bobrakov;
V.I. Gromeka; I. Ivanov; V.A. Kremeniuk; V.I. Malennikov;
M. Mil'shtein; E.J. Shershnev; G. Trofimenkoj M.I. Zakhmatov.
SOME KNOWN RESEARCH AREASi
The U.S.A. Institute studies the history, the international
relations, the economic policies, the sociological and social
composition of the United States and Canada in all of their
ramifications.
Researchers examine the foreign trade of these
two North American states, their legal and criminal justice
systems, their mass media, their social behavior patterns...
"Serious weight is given to the study of state monopoly
capitalism" in each of these subject areas.
The Institute has come to rely heavily upon quantitative
methods.
For example, A. Poduzov has developed economic models
for the U.S. which are used in prognostication; M.I. Zakhmatov
is well versed in the latest American sociological writing and
methodology.
The U.S.A. Institute has maintained strong ties with
IMEMO.
Many research projects are shared, as are extra-scientific
duties, such as preparing Soviet delegations to the Pugwash Conferences. It is also host institution for the influential
"Scientific Council on the Economic, Political and Ideological
Problems of the U.S.A.",
The Institute has sponsored numerous important conferences,
covering such topics as the Nixom Doctrine, the U.S. economic crises,
American and Canadian agricultural policies.
These gatherings
attract both academic and political figures.
The Institute's
director, G.A. Arbatov, is himself a Candidate Member (?) of the
Communist Party's Central Committee and maintains personal contacts
with the highest political figures in the U.S.S.R.
The Institute publishes a great deal. In addition to its
monthly journal SShA: ekonomika, politika i ideologiia, which
began publication in 1970, the U.S.A. Institute has issued numer*
ous dissertations and sponsored publication of upward of 30 books
during its first decade of operation.
RESEARCH FACILITIES*
The U.S.A. Institute is said to have the most complete
library in the U.S.S.R. on American and Canadian affairs.
It
subscribes to several hundred U.S. and Canadian journals and
newspapers and purchases nearly every important book published
in both countries.
