==Biography==
Born in Washington, D.C., Thurston graduated high school outside of Cleveland and received his undergraduate education at Northwestern University,〔 studying Russian to complement his history degree. He went on to earn a doctorate in modern Russian history from the University of Michigan. He spent several years living in Russia, and eventually moved to Oxford, Ohio, where he taught history at Miami University for 25 years until his retirement in 2015.〔
In November 1992, Thurston argued in ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' that the June 1992 exhibit entitled "Revelations from the Russian Archives", which was held at the Library of Congress, was overly biased against the Soviet Union. He remarked that the "library's accompanying glossy brochure highlighted only the repressive nature of the Soviet regime, ignoring its positive (though flawed) accomplishments." He noted that "Nothing appeared on the growth of education, upward social mobility, increased availability of medical care, urbanization or anything that might be considered positive." He went on to accuse James H. Billington, the librarian of Congress, of advocating "a single point of view" about the Soviet Union. The reporter Arnold Beichman, writing for the right-wing ''Insight on the News'' newspaper, condemned Thurston for these statements, arguing that "something is drastically wrong with American social sciences" if ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' allowed his comments to be published.
In 2012, Thurston cofounded the Oxford Coffee Company in Oxford, Ohio.〔
