Prospects of Disarmament [1956]

THIS PAPER WAS first published in Russian as “Perspektivy razoruzhenya”, Pravda, Moscow, 29 March 1956, p. 4 (B&R C56.05). It appeared alongside a mildly critical riposte from Dimitri Skobeltzyn, the distinguished Soviet physicist whose signature Russell had tried unsuccessfully to obtain for the Russell-Einstein manifesto. Both pieces were reprinted in English in Current Digest of the Soviet Press under the general heading “A Dispute in Pravda on Disarmament” (8, no. 13 [9 May 1956]: 8-10) and before this introductory comment:

The editors of Pravda support the considerations expressed in Academician D.V.Skobeltzyn’s article.
