Richard Edgar Pipes (11 de julio de 1923 – 17 de mayo de 2018) fue un académico polaco-estadounidense especializado en la historia rusa, en particular la de la Unión Soviética, y que defendió con firmeza una postura anticomunista a lo largo de toda su carrera. En 1976 dirigió el Equipo B, un grupo de analistas organizado por la Agencia Central de Inteligencia para estudiar las capacidades estratégicas y los objetivos de los dirigentes militares y políticos soviéticos. Pipes fue padre del historiador estadounidense Daniel Pipes, experto en la política exterior de Estados Unidos y en Oriente Medio.
Pipes nació en el seno de una familia judía en Cieszyn, Polonia, que huyó del país como refugiada tras la invasión de la Alemania nazi. Se estableció en Estados Unidos en 1940 y obtuvo la ciudadanía estadounidense en 1943, mientras servía en el Cuerpo Aéreo del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Entre 1958 y 1996 trabajó en la Universidad de Harvard.

“No prominent European socialist before World War I resembled Lenin more closely than Benito Mussolini. Like Lenin, he headed the antirevisionist wing of the country’s Socialist Party; like him, he believed that the worker was not by nature a revolutionary and had to be prodded to radical action by an intellectual elite.”
Russia Under The Bolshevik Regime, p. 245En inglés “Stoicism’s contribution to the shaping of the Western intellectual tradition is probably second only to that of Jewish monotheism. If monotheism advanced the revolutionary concept of an all-powerful and all-pervasive but non-material God ruling the universe, the theory of Natural Law posited that God’s universe was rational and capable of being grasped by human intelligence.”
Property and Freedom, p. 7En inglés “Lenin wanted power. This may sound self-evident; after all, every politician is assumed to lust for power. But deep down, Lenin’s rivals did not want it.”
Three “Whys” of the Russian Revolution, p. 42En inglés “We cannot determine whether or not he had met Lenin during their common exile in Switzerland; Mussolini once cryptically remarked: ‘Lenin knew me better than I knew him.’”
Three “Whys” of the Russian Revolution, p. 37En inglés “The purpose of totalitarian parties, for which Bolshevism provided the model, was not to become the government, but to manipulate the government from behind the scenes.”
