Abstract

This issue of the Connecticut Journal of International Law celebrates the centenary of the birth of the Professor Olimpiad S. Ioffe, whose extraordinary scholarly life traversed the upheavals of the twentieth century. Born in the years just after the Russian Revolution and growing up in the Soviet Union to survive the horrors of World War II, Professor Ioffe became a giant of Russian and Soviet jurisprudence over the postwar decades. But then, in 1980, Professor Ioffe found himself dismissed from Leningrad State University, expelled from the Communist Party, and compelled to emigrate. After an intervening year conducting research at other law schools in the United States, he joined the faculty of the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1982. It was here he finished his illustrious career teaching, researching and writing in the areas of Soviet Law, Civil Law, Comparative Law, Roman Law, and International Human Rights Law. This centenary includes contributions by Professors Peter Lindseth, Carol Weisbrod, and Mark Weston Janis of UConn School of Law, as well as Professor Anatoly Didenko of Caspian University, in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
