а, оказывается Ливен в Англию перебрался не так просто, а потому как из Карнеги его поперли после книжки
Anatol Lieven leaves Carnegie
Life can get rough in the American think tank world, particularly for British scholars who don’t know their place. The Times’s best-ever Russian correspondent Anatol Lieven—also a regular Prospect writer—has departed from the Carnegie Endowment in unhappy circumstances. His powerful new book on American nationalism (America Right or Wrong) inspired a waspish New York Times piece hinting that he was both anti-American and antisemitic. That’s the neocon way of giving you both barrels. It was very unfair, and very lethal in modern Washington, potentially threatening the fund-raising streams on which think tanks depend. Carnegie grandees deny being influenced by it, but told Lieven that they were unable to guarantee any more funding to keep him going. (In fact, their fundraising was under budget because they seem to have assumed that the jailed Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky would continue to fork out millions, despite being behind bars. Not so.) Carnegie president Jessica Matthews, a veteran of the famously vacuous global affairs office in the national security council of Jimmy Carter’s White House, came up with a compromise, a short-term project that would send Lieven back to Moscow, out of the way of vengeful neocons. Lieven was saved by the New America Foundation, which found him money for two more years.
