Isaac Mintz

Isaak Izrailevich Mints (, ; 3 February 1896 – 5 April 1991) was the leading Soviet historian in the early and mid-twentieth century. In 1949 he lost most of his academic positions as part of the campaign against the "rootless cosmopolitans", a Soviet euphemism for Jews. Nevertheless, he had eventually become an "ideal Soviet Jew" due to his adherence to the Soviet "party line". Despite this, in 1953 he arranged for Soviet Jews to write a letter to Pravda condemning Zionism, Israel, and the "doctors' plot".
