Stephen F. Cohen was een vooraanstaand Amerikaans historicus en politicoloog wiens levenswerk zich richtte op de studie van Rusland en de Sovjet-Unie. Met een diepgaand begrip van de Sovjetgeschiedenis en -politiek analyseerde hij complexe processen, van de Bolsjewistische Revolutie tot het postcommunistische tijdperk. Cohen onderscheidde zich door zijn vermogen om zich te verdiepen in de diepten van de Sovjetervaring, alternatieve paden te onderzoeken die het land had kunnen inslaan en de Amerikaanse percepties van Rusland kritisch te beoordelen. Zijn uitgebreide kennis en frequente verblijven in Rusland stelden hem in staat een uniek perspectief te bieden op de ontwikkeling en het lot van de natie.
