Uri Ra'anan, previously Heinz Felix Frischwasser-Ra’anan, is an American professor, specializing on the politics of communist countries, particularly the Soviet Union and China. He taught at Boston University where he was involved in the University Professors Program, and also at the International Security Studies Program (Fletcher School). He spoke at the Ford Hall Forum twice, in 1978 and again in 2007.
His 2006 book on Russia, Flawed Succession, was called "superb" by historian Simon Sebag Montefiore in the NYT.[1]
