The latest number of Kritika also includes an interview with me, because after 21 years, this is the last issue I will see through from beginning to end. I am retiring at the end of this week and turning over the day-to-day management to the extremely capable Irina Belenky Burns. Among other things, she will take over management of Kritika Journal, which will be our main page going forward. Welcome, Irina! And thanks to all the wonderful authors and editors I have worked with over the years, and to Slavica Publishers—without whom Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History might never have seen the light of day. It's been an honor.
