    Katrina vanden Heuvel, the publisher and editorial director of The Nation magazine and a longtime IPS board member, received the Marcus Raskin Award for Civic and Intellectual Courage . 

    The award, named for the late IPS co-founder Marc Raskin and jointly presented by IPS and the Raskin family, recognizes an outstanding and brave leader in the fields Raskin was passionate about — including peace, social reconstruction, art, and politics.

    Here are Katrina’s remarks, delivered on June 8,

    I first “met†Steve through his essay “Bolshevism and Stalinism.†His cogent, persuasive, revisionist argument that there are always alternatives in history and politics deeply influenced me. And his seminal biography, Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution, challenging prevailing interpretations of Soviet history, was to me, and many, a model of how biography should be written: engaged and sympathetically critical.
