Dr. Weller translated, edited and published a book by a senior Kazakh scholar, Garifolla Yesim, The Agony of Socialism: Kazakh Memoirs of the Soviet Past (Asia Research Associates, 2017). The book was peer reviewed in Kazakhstan before its original publication in Kazakh and Russian. Dr. Raymond Sun, along with one other senior Soviet/Central Asian scholar, reviewed and endorsed the English translation before publication. Along with supplying a brief bibliography and recommended reading list and providing editorial clarifications in footnotes, Weller wrote a brief (3-pp) ‘Editorial Preface’ for it. Following is the link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Agony-Socialism-Kazakh-Memoirs-Soviet/dp/0979495717/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489215168&sr=8-1&keywords=the+agony+of+socialism.
