Mikhail Sergeyevich Voslensky (Template:Lang-ru) (December 6, 1920, Berdyansk, Ukraine – February 8, 1997, Bonn, Germany) was a former Soviet writer, scientist and diplomat, and author of the book Nomenklatura: The Soviet Ruling Class, about the Soviet nomenklatura, translated into 14 languages and printed in multiple editions.
Michael Voslensky was an interpreter of the Soviet Union during the Nuremberg Trials. During 1953-1955 he worked with the World Peace Council. Later he worked in the USSR Academy of Sciences.
In 1974, after 4 years of living in West Germany, he was stripped of Soviet citizenship (restored in 1990) and worked with the Forschungsinstitut für sowjetische Gegenwart (Research Institute for the Soviet Union).
His book Nomenklatura was motivated by Milovan Djilas's idea about the New Class emerging in communist states.
His book Secrets Revealed: Moscow Archives Speak sketches the role of terror in the Soviet system, the evolution of the Soviet secret police, and the role of the nomenklatura in its hierarchy.
