Career

 * In the Hoover Institution Library and Archives he discovered a 1922 Russian-language book manuscript by the Moscow economist Lev Nikolaevich Litoshenko (1886—1936).
 * That manuscript was a first-rate study of Bolshevik agrarian policies during the early years of Soviet power, with special emphasis on the utopian civil war policies known as War Communism.
 * After determining the manuscript's authorship, Patenaude’s subsequent efforts led to its publication in Russia as Sotsializatsiia zemli v Rossii [Socialization of the Land in Russia] (Novosibirsk: Sibirskii khronograf, 2001), which Patenaude edited, together with a team of his Russian colleagues.
 * From 1992 to 2000 Patenaude taught in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School.
 * In 1998 and 1999 his outstanding performance as a classroom instructor was recognized with the Olivia Schieffelin Nordberg award for Teaching Excellence.
 * His book reviews regularly appear in the The Wall Street Journal.
