Isaak Izrailevich Mints (‹See Tfd›Russian: Исаа́к Изра́илевич Минц, Ukrainian: Ісак Ізраїльович Мінц; 3 February 1896 – 5 April 1991) was the leading Soviet historian in the early and mid-twentieth century. In 1949 he lost most of his academic positions following a campaign against him by his colleague Arkady Sidorov that was part of the drive by Joseph Stalin to eliminate the "rootless cosmopolitans", most of whom were Jewish.
