We regret to report that Marshall D. Shulman died on June 21. For those who missed his obituary in the /New York Times/ on June 23, he was 91. Professor Shulman was in the first class of the Russian Institute of Columbia University, where he also earned his doctorate. He became associate director of the Russian Research Center at Harvard University in 1954, a position he held until 1961 when he joined the faculty at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Subsequently he returned to Columbia as director of the Russian Institute, which became endowed as the Harriman Institute under his tenure. He continued his association with the Russian Research (now Davis) Center, serving for many years on the Center's visiting committee as well as co-chairing the annual Arden House conferences sponsored by both Harvard and Columbia. Shulman also served in the U.S. government as the principal adviser on Soviet affairs to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance from 1977 to 1980.
