M.I. Finley: A Note on his Life and Work

Grace (Kazakevich) Emily

Publication, commentary and introductory note by S.G. Karpyuk; translated by S.A. Stepantsov

Emily Grace (Emilia L’vovna Kazakevich) wrote two notes about Moses Finley. We have some handwritten drafts and the second (or third) copy of the final draft submitted to the Administration of the Institute. Here we publish a handwritten draft of the earlier (1960) note, as the 1965 note repeats it almost literally. Grace was well acquainted with Finley during their work in various leftist and pro-Soviet organizations in New York in the late 1930s and the first half of the 1940s. Her evidence is therefore quite important.
