Kavkaz and the War of Attrition,” Cold War History, 3, 1 (October 2002). After this paper
appeared in 2002, Dima Adamsky principally used the former Soviet sources that we had
introduced for his 2006 book Operation Kavkaz, as well as his paper “How US and Israeli
Intelligence Failed to Estimate the Soviet Intervention in the Arab–Israeli War of Attrition.”
The latter was presented at the same conference in 2006, and published in the same vol-
ume of proceedings, as our chapter about the end of Kavkaz (Ginor and Remez, “The
Origins of a Misnomer: The ‘Expulsion of Soviet Advisers’ from Eg ypt in 1972,” in Ashton,
The Cold War in the Middle East, pp. 136–63). A related paper of Adamsky’s, “The Seventh
Day of the Six-Day War: The Soviet Intervention in the War of Attrition (1969–1970),”
illustrated the tendency to treat this war as a postscript to the 1967 conflict when it
appeared as a chapter in Ro’i and Morozov, June 1967. - Vladislav M. Zubok, A Failed Empire: The Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to

in a joint briefing with his Israeli counterpart Tzipi Livni that, in view of “Israeli research-
ers’ interest” in the 1967 war, a new joint project would be launched to publish documents
about it; Herb Keinon and Etgar Lefkovits, “Russia to Open Archives on Israel Ties,”
