Izrail G. Blyumin -- the fate of a Soviet historian of economic thought under Stalin

<title>Abstract</title> Whereas relatively much has been written about the Russian/Soviet economists repressed and killed or forced into emigration under Stalin, the story of those who were psychologically broken but could continue their work still has to be written. Based on published as well as archive materials, this paper aims at giving insights into the fate of a neglected Russian historian of economic thought who certainly can be regarded as one of the ‘silent’ victims of Stalinism.
