Question about Russian Dissertations

[E Wayles Browne]

Hi Martha!
Yes, it's true. First you write a dissertation for the degree
of Kandidat nauk, which is roughly equivalent to Ph.D. here.
Then, some years later, you can write another dissertation
and get an even higher degree, Doktor nauk. But not everyone
does. See

Yours,
Wayles
