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 AIP program of translations into English of the then Soviet Union’s leading physics journals. The present brief review gives a personal perspective on the history of that development.
