The Landau school and the American Institute of Physics translation program, 2008.
Speech given at the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Lev Landau's birth about the translation program "Soviet Physics" of the American Institute of Physics and the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s several American scientists recognized the importance of results appearing in Russian language journals. Their efforts, aided by Cold War considerations, culminated in the launch of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) program of translations into English of the then Soviet Unions leading physics journals.
