Apart from Russian Thinkers, Isaiah Berlin’s other contributions to Russian studies include his translation of Ivan Turgenev’s First Love and his Introduction to Alexander Herzen’s memoirs, My Past and Thoughts. Sir Isaiah was awarded the Jerusalem Prize in 1979 for the expression in his writings of the idea of the freedom of the individual in society.
