Dr. Oswald P. Backus, associate professor of history, has been appointed to a Fulbright faculty research fellowship for the 1957-58 academic year to do intensive research in the Slavic Library of the University of Helsinki, Finland.
The object of his research will be to evaluate the influence of West Russians on Muscovite institutions and ideas. This will be a sequel to a study he has just completed and which will soon be published by the University Press. The-completed work deals with the motives of the West Russian nobility in deserting Lithuania for Moscow in the period 1377-1514.
Dr. Backus plans to take Mrs. Backus and their five children to Finland.
He will work at libraries in Leningrand and Moscow, and possibly in Minsk and Kiev. He hopes to conclude negotiations with these libraries for an exchange of materials with the KU library. The project was begun last summer by Sam F. Anderson, instructor of German.
The Russian government has granted Dr. Backus a 30-day travel visa, with possible renewal, which will permit him to initiate historical research there this summer.
