Summary:This study focuses on the training of students from the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America in a special institution in the Soviet Union established for the purpose, the Peoples' Friendship University. Since its founding in 1960, this unique institution has been the subject of considerable interest among educators and others concerned with international relations and development. Sufficient time has now elapsed to permit at least a preliminary assessment of the institution's pedagogical effectiveness and limitations. The author attempts to contribute to this kind of analysis in his review of the evidence from the university's first dozen years from 1960 to 1972. (Author/HS)
