(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Laura Engelstein is an American historian who specializes in Russian and European history. She serves as Henry S. McNeil Professor Emerita of Russian History at Yale University and taught at Cornell University and Princeton University. Her numerous publications have included Moscow, 1905: Working-Class Organization and Political Conflict ; The Keys to Happiness: Sex and the Search for Modernity in Fin-de-Siecle Russia ; Castration and the Heavenly Kingdom: A Russian Folktale ; Slavophile Empire: Imperial Russia’s Illiberal Path ; and Russia in Flames: War, Revolution, Civil War, 1914–1921 .
