If you look at the surveys done of the political affiliations of college professors, the Rocky Mountain News had it 31 to 1 Democrats to Republican at the University of Colorado. Similar surveys at Dartmouth, at Cornell it's 25 to 1, at UNC Chapel Hill 10 Democrats to every 1 republican, Stanford 9 to 1. If you look at the history departments of these five schools combined, there were 137 Democrats and just 3 Republicans. The Kremlin was more diverse than that.
