"Orphaned in 2000, the Lebedev siblings are alone in the underbelly of the most beautiful city in the world, St. Petersburg. Fedya is nearly thirteen and tries his best to keep them together but fails. He surrenders his two sisters to the orphanage system and joins a ring of thieves. It's not long before the gang has a run-in with the Russian mafia and Fedya becomes the focal point of a madman's revenge and a race across Russia into Latvija. His sister, Elena, is brutally bullied at the orphanage and almost loses her life, while their youngest sister, Irina, is illegally adopted out of the country. How will they ever reunite? Will the three swans fly together again? Whom can they trust? Possibly, no one"--

On March 1, 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled several new nuclear technologies in his annual address to Russia's Federal Assembly, including systems such as a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), and nuclear-powered cruise missile that would be the first such weapons deployed in the world.1 These systems, according to Putin, would ensure the invincibility of Russia's nuclear arsenal.During the speech, Putin played a video showing one of the new systems-the Sarmat ICBM striking targets in Florida, the home state of then-President Donald Trump.2 Four years later,Russia would use the conventional variant of one of their novel systems-the Kinzhal hypersonicaeroballistic missile-to strike an underground arms depot in Western Ukraine.3 The use of Kinzhal as part of Russia's war on Ukraine came after deploying it to Kaliningrad and Syria-placing it near the borders of multiple NATO members.4

This is a unique record of a unique journey - of two brave clowns who travel into a warzone. The reader is transported through the magical metaphor of space travel, into the poetic and playful imagination of the clowns. They attempt to offer mutual aid and humanity to a nation (Ukraine) that is being systematically dehumanized by its oppressor (Russia). As we enter the warzone with the clowns, we see it, not as darkness and horror, but through a lens of imagination, colour, and hope.This book speaks to trauma and the different and complex ways that we experience it. We see how human contact, facilitated by clowns, helps people to deal with this trauma and to overcome it. The reader is invited inside these experiences, living them through the clown's playful and poetic perspective.The Pretzels Space Odyssey gives a deep and fascinating insight into the practice of healthcare clowning, the skills, techniques, and state of being required to bring humanistic values into institutional systems that prize efficiency and order above all else. It gives insights into how healthcare clowns empower, validate, and celebrate the people they meet through play, imagination, and presence.

"Engang kort før krigen i Ukraine blev jeg inviteret til middag. En lille beboelsesejendom i centrum med nogle få lejligheder. Middagen blev tilberedt af den filippinske hushjælp. På et særskilt bord stod der champagne. Gæsterne diskuterede nyhederne. Putin blev kaldt for tsar -- på samme måde som man taler om sin yndlingsbedstefar, krigsveteranen, og hans særheder. De lovpriste oligarkerne som visionære -- de brugte penge på moderne kunst, på god moderne kunst. Gæsterne udvekslede meninger om moderne kunst. Navne, navne, navne. Kender du ham? Jeg kan præsentere jer for hinanden. Det var da så lidt. Jeg spiste uden at sige noget. Jeg var netop kommet hjem fra Rjazan-distriktet, fra landsbyer uden veje, hvor man slukkede skovbrande med vand i spande. Maden var god. Jeg tror jeg har lært mig den vigtigste regel i Moskva. Spis uden at sige noget. Maden smager bedre når man ikke siger noget. Russerne siger: Moskva er ikke Rusland, Rusland er ikke Moskva. Hver tiende indbygger i Rusland bor i Moskva.OM BOGEN:”Jeg kunne ikke lægge den fra mig (…). Det er en bog der ramte mig fordi den er flot skrevet, der bliver skrevet med hjertet og skudt fra hoften, og der er ingen analyser, det er reportage når det er bedst, og den fortæller om et land som vi ved meget lidt om, og som vi gerne vil forstå …”Ulla Terkelsen, Go’morgen Danmark”Vil du vide hvor Putin kommer fra? Hvor det russiske folk er i dag? Hvorfor det opfører sig som det gør? Læs denne bog."Svetlana AleksijevitjJelena Kostjutjenko (f. 1987) er russisk graverjournalist og lgbt+-aktivist og er blevet sammenlignet med Anna Politkovskaja. Hun har siden hun var 17 år arbejdet på den uafhængige, nu lukkede avis Novaja Gazeta. I marts 2022 krydsede hun grænsen til Ukraine for at følge med i krigen fra den ukrainske side og vise russerne den forbrydelse som Putin begår i deres navn. I Mit elskede land beskriver Kostjutjenko det russiske samfunds vej til fascismen hvor de første ofre var egne medborgere, længe før annekteringer, invasioner og krig.Kostjutjenko har siden 2022 levet i eksil i Vesten. Bogen kommer vidt omkring og rapporterer for eksempel om hvordan massakren i Beslan i 2004 i dag håndteres af det nuværende styre i Rusland, hvordan kvindelige prostituerede lever på en parkeringsplads uden for Moskva og om forureningen i Norilsk i det nordlige Rusland. Titlen kan ses som en protest mod Putins forsøg på at tage patent på det patriotiske ved at straffe ”ikke-patriotisk virksomhed” og ændre historien.

Syv essay med hvert sig motto, nemlig en af de syv såkaldte kardinaldyder:Visdom, mod, retfærdighed, mådehold, tro, håb og kærlighedHovedtonen i de personlige (men ikke private) essay er præget af en dyb kærlighed til bøger og Rusland, ikke mindst det russiske sprog og poesien. I bogen kommer vi med ned i Frederiksberg antikvariat hvor Mette Dalsgaards litterære interesse vækkes gennem bøger som Pippi, Mumitroldende, Onkel Tom og Børnene i Nyskoven; til København og mødet med Josef Brodsky i anledning af at han havde fået nobelprisen i 1987; og på dannelsesrejse gennem Finland til Leningrad. Senere følger andre rejser både til Rusland og til de baltiske lande. Tonen er let, Mette Dalsgaards blik for det absurde er eminent, og hendes evne til at beskrive … og ikke mindst huske … detaljer gør at disse essays er en fornøjelse at læse.

This monograph is the result of the author's long-term work devoted to the study of language and style of mass media texts of the early 21st century. The study contains the analysis of various expressive means of the Russian language, which allow to realize the dominant function of modern mass media - the influencing one, the mechanisms of creating the expression of a newspaper message are shown, the ways of forming the axiological paradigm in mass media texts are revealed. The monograph implements a comprehensive approach to the study of expressive lexical resources of the mass media language, which implies their analysis in the following aspects: classification (description of the system of lexical means of creating expression); functional (definition of the lexical means of creating expression); functional (definition of the lexical resources of the mass media) .

Anticipating some Soviet Union developments, Evgenii Zamyatsin's We (1920) is a futuristic dystopic novel in which D-503, builder of the first rocket ship, extols the glories of the Single State and discovers another way of life beyond his highly controlled society. From the newer field of biopoetics, which applies evolutionary psychology to art instead of emphasizing the social construction of human behavior and consciousness, Cooke (Texas A&M U.) explores themes in the novel including workforce mechanization, the symbolic roles of food-sharing, eugenics, and writing as subversion. Comparisons are made with other dystopian literature (e.g. Brave New World ), and novels by Russian authors including Solzhenitsyn and Tolstoy.

Words, silences, and narratives as vehicles are always in flux, always fueling us, precipitating actions both virtuous and criminal, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, sublime and ridiculous. Dostoevsky, more than any other writer except perhaps Shakespeare, supplies an unending source of inspiration for the full sweep of human action, thought, emotion, and belief in all their contradictory manifestations and combinations. Dostoevsky's journeys onto these terrains are without exception unfinished, always in process, alive and precariously so, even as those inspired by him may find for themselves completion, rationales, and answers. His readers have given various names to the quality of completion embedded within uncertainty that his oeuvre conveys and which can then serve to engender religious, philosophical, or nakedly political discourses and responses, some of which would no doubt surprise, even horrify him.Dostoevsky, however, continues to stand apart; his written words, silences, and narratives expressing, through their embodiment in characters, his own unfinished journey. Ivan Karamazov's rebellious philosopher maybe have walked his quadrillion kilometers in the dark, but their mutual creator still travels on.

Whatever your perspective on their campaigns, we all have things to learn from their imagination and skill in drawing people together to bring change." - Abigail Thomas, Hopeful Activists Podcast Host"Making a Movement delivers a wrecking ball to the unsustainable populism of the right." - Simon Speakman Cordall, Al Jazeera Journalist"If you read Barney Cullum's book, you will come away with comprehensive knowledge of the severe problems impacting people every day all over the world, but you will also feel utterly inspired to take action yourself. Powerful stories reframe the brave people and organisations who are truly taking risks to bring about positive change, all achieved in an accessible, fascinating way." - Lucy Skoulding, Human Rights Campaigner and Independent Journalist"Cullum skilfully weaves together and situates social movements, campaigns and their tactics around the world.
