Dickinson Professor Crispin Sartwell\u2019s research interests in anarchist political philosophy brought him to the work of Russian revolutionaries Mikhail Bakunin and Petr Kropotkin. But Prof. Sartwell has a personal connection to Russian culture. His great-father, Herman Bernstein (1876-1935), was born in Vladislavov–now present-day Lithuania, but then located on the Russian-German border. In 1893, Herman emigrated from the Russian Empire to the United States, where he wrote for\u00a0The New York Evening Post<\/em>\u00a0andThe Nation<\/em>, and was an editor of\u00a0The New London Day<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Jewish Tribune<\/em>. In 1917, he returned to Russia to cover the Russian revolution for the\u00a0New York Herald<\/em>. In 1918, Herman made headlines by publishing a secret correspondence between Tsar Nicholas II and Kaiser Wilhelm II, which he called “The Willy-Nicky Telegrams.” On top of his journalistic career, Herman was a prolific translator, translating works by Leo Tolstoy, Maxim Gorky, and Leonid Andreev from Russian into English. A collection of his interviews with Tolstoy, Kropotkin, Leon Trotsky, and others was published in 1913 as\u00a0Interviews by Herman Bernstein<\/em>\u00a0andCelebrities of Our Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n
