Whatever their differences, all of the participants have a sympathetic interest in systems theory, and between them they throw light on a remarkably broad set of issues having to do with Bogdanov's role in its development. How was Bogdanov's thought related to that of Ludwig von Bertalanffy (the Austrian often considered the founder of general organization science), Ludwig Noire, V. I. Vernadskii, Nikolai Kondrat'ev, Nikolai Bukharin, and Vladimir Lenin, not to mention Karl Marx himself? (The volume's name index contains more references to Lenin and Marx than to any other persons, though the participants differ considerably in their attitudes toward them.) In what ways, if any, was Tektology a continuation of Bogdanov's earlier writings, above all Empiriomonism (1904-06)? What significant present-day applications does Tektology have in economics, biology, psychology, cybernetics, and other fields? Did Bogdanov in Tektology actually produce a general organization theory or create a new branch of science? All these questions are raised and vigorously debated by the participants. A very valuable feature of the volume is that it includes not only the participants' papers but transcripts of the discussions that followed each of the three groups of presentations, covering almost 100 of the volume's pages. The lively exchanges highlight the extent and character of the disagreements that exist among specialists in this area, thus serving to point out directions in which further research is needed. Furthermore, given the ambiguously "Marxist" character of Bogdanov's views, these discussions offer a splendid example of the ways in which Russian scholars today, some with lingering allegiance to their Marxist-Leninist past, are exploring a formerly proscribed region of thought.

A. Ferguson (1968:253-266; 1967:643-653; 1971:197-217). In this paper, I should like to perform a similar mission for an 'almost completely unknown' lay Russian Orthodox missionary, Nikolai Ivanovich Il'minskii. Il'minskii was an Orientalist and linguist whose language planning work had application over wide areas of the Empire, who profoundly influenced Lenin's nationality policy and whose impact continues to linger in the Soviet Union of today. Il'minskii's missionary activities centered on applied linguistics and had nothing to do with polemics, preaching or attempts at outright conversion. Il'minskii's chief aim was to instill Russian Orthodoxy among the already baptized non-Russians. It was 'an inner rebirth that originates and grows in the depth of heart' that Il'minskii was seeking, and this, he was convinced, could be achieved only through the mother tongue. Il'minskii's missionary program, which was characterized as 'national in form' and Orthodox in content', called for schools and churches in the mother tongue, staffed by the nationals themselves, and the use of the mother tongue in textbooks and devotional literature (Il'minskii, 1863: 139; MNP, 1905, xi). It required the creation of alphabets for well over a dozen languages, the coining of new words and the compilation of dictionaries and grammars. Il'minskii's work centered in Kazan and extended not only to the multinational Volga area as a whole but also to Siberia and the Far North as well as to Russia's Central Asia. The scope of his language

Models of language competition usually favor the central language over those of the peripheries. Yet the Russian language has failed to establish its hegemony both in the tsarist and Soviet empires. While the tsarist period is briefly touched upon in the Introduction, the paper concentrates on the "missed second opportunity"—the Soviet and post-Soviet period. It attempts to explain the causes for the second failure against a broad historical background, beginning with Lenin’s generous linguistic policy, through the elevation of Russian as the language of the

We have recently launched a multi-disciplinary study of this unique community in Israel, which we hope will become part of a broader study of Circassian communities both in the diaspora (Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Germany and other countries) and in the Caucasian homeland (one of the communities is described by Bridges, this issue). Our team consists of an anthropologist, applied linguist, sociolinguist, and a historian. This work, the first in a planned series, presents general background on the Israeli Circassians and then focuses on our recently completed study of Circassian pupils in Kfar Kama, the larger of the two Circassian villages in Israel.

There are no ‘language fronts’, no mass literacy or korenizatsiia campaigns, no upbeat statistics on publication figures in but recently alphabetized languages, or in the number of students receiving instruction in their mother tongue. Absent also are the dreary, bloody last years of Stalin when all creative activity seemed to come to a halt as the accusation of ‘wrecking on the language front’ could cost a linguist his life.
