More Descriptionthus the third, and probably final, report that CNS will publish on the Soviet and Russian AP system. It is based on a compilation illustratively titled Interesting Stories About the Activities and People of the AP System of Russia and the Soviet Union (henceforth, Interesting Stories?) that was edited by Moisey Iosifovich Levi and other former members of the AP system, and released between 1994 and 2002.
The Interesting Stories? collection consists of 12 volumes (the twelfth volume has two issues), each of which contains between five and 15 chapters. The chapters vary widely as to their contents; some are essays that describe research and field investigations, others are biographies, and yet others are anecdotes that recount interesting and amusing experiences. Many are illustrated by photographs, maps, or sketches; all of which, unfortunately, are of poor quality, as is the binding of the paperback volumes. All in all, the compilation provides a unique portrayal of the work, lives, and experiences of AP scientists that took place mostly during the 1930s through the 1960s.
