В России около тысячи политических заключенных. Этих отважных людей лишили права жить и действовать на свободе.Но оказалось, что их невозможно лишить ни внутренней свободы, ни права высказывать собственное мнение. Их голоса - самые свободные голоса внутри сегодняшней России. Они звучат из залов судов, в письмах, блогах, социальных сетях. Им не страшна цензура. И точно так же, как мы перечитываем письма и речи советских политзаключенных, следующие поколения будут перечитывать слова узников российского режима.В этой книге представлены письма, интервью, посты и выступления Ильи Яшина - политика в стране, где не осталось политики.

Publishing for the first time in English, this volume includes details of actions and exploits by Russian soldiers almost unknown outside of Russia.The Russian Patriotic War of 1812 is the only publicly available translation into English of Bogdanovich's official history of the Russian forces' involvement in the fight against Napoleon and his allies in Russia in 1812. This translation also includes extracts from Ivan Liprandi's critique of Bogdanovich's work.Volume 1 of The Russian Patriotic War of 1812 includes the causes of the war and an account of the operational planning by Russian forces for their retreat from the borders into the Empire, dispelling the myth of the non-existence of any premeditated plan. The logistics of the forces on both sides are examined, along with highly detailed descriptions of the operations from Russia's western borders to beyond Smolensk and operations on the northern and southern flanks. Outstanding feats were performed not only by prominent personalities but also by others who participated in this war. The composition of the forces are shown as clearly as possible, as are force numbers, casualties on each side, and so on. The maps attached to this work were drafted in such a way that they might serve to explain entire phases of the war. The battle plans show the locations of dominant terrain according to detailed state surveys, while villages, forests and roads have been copied from previously published plans.

"Goat Song, Vaginov's first novel, was written between 1927-1929. The novel mentions the ten-year anniversary of the October Revolution in passing, rather obliquely, yet the shadow of that event and all its immediate and long-lasting consequences hangs over the entire novel (and really, over the subsequent three novels as well). For Vaginov, the Soviet practice of naming and renaming is emblematic of societal changes that were-paradoxically-wholly superficial and yet devastatingly momentous. Like Goat Song itself, place names like "Second Rural Poverty Street" or "Victims of the Revolution Square" represent political shifts that are simultaneously exaggerated to the point of silliness and profoundly, genuinely tragic"--

The US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018 and the return of international sanctions against Tehran turned out to have enormous implications for the Middle Eastern country's commercial interactions with its largest trading partner, China, affecting corrosively every aspect of economic, financial, and technological relationship between the two sides.

This is the true story of Universal Music Russia's first CEO and his quest to bring Western popular music to post-Soviet Russia. With many wild twists--from political chaos to the launch of t.A.T.u., Russia's biggest pop act--it shows how an American built cultural bridges and how that would all shatter with Putin's rise and the invasion of Ukraine.

Ruslands invasion af Ukraine 24. februar 2022 var det første skud i en verdensomspændende magtkamp, hvor Rusland og Kina udfordrer USA og resten af Vesten. Men Rusland har længe været i krig med Vesten – også selvom vi i Vesten ikke har oplevet det sådan. Ifølge professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen rejser Ukrainekrigen en række svære spørgsmål for Danmark: Skal Ukraine være medlem af EU og NATO? Vil Kina og USA ende i krig med hinanden? Vil Tyskland dominere EU og Europa efter Ukrainekrigen? Vil konflikten i Mellemøsten føre til et brud mellem EU og USA? Svarene på de spørgsmål er vigtige i en verden, hvor krigen er tilbage. OM FORFATTEREN: Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen (f. 1973) er professor i statskundskab på Københavns Universitet. Han leder bestyrelsen af INVI (Institut for Vilde Problemer), har tidligere ledet udviklingssekretariatet i Forsvarsministeriet og før da Center for Militære Studier. Desuden skriver han en klumme om udenrigspolitik i Weekendavisen og har udgivet en lang række bøger og artikler om dansk udenrigspolitik og internationale konflikter.

This book demonstrates how the Russian thought and literature of the 18th ? 19th centuries influenced Jewish thought and Hebrew literature.

An updated edition of the acclaimed history of Russia, this new volume includes a wealth of material on events of the last decade.When first published, Charles Ziegler's The History of Russia was acclaimed as a source of information not easily found elsewhere, and as "clear, balanced, and insightful," by Rajan Menon of Lehigh University. Now Ziegler's remarkable volume returns, fully updated to be the work of choice for readers looking for an introduction to the history of the world's largest country.The History of Russia: Second Edition moves from the 10th-century founding of Kievan Rus to the czars to the Communist Era to the present, with particular emphasis on the fall of the Soviet Union and the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Putin. In addition to a new chapter on the tumultuous last decade, this edition features an updated introduction and an expanded chapter on the Yeltsin Era.

This book explores the emerging politics of Eurasia from the vantage point of Kazakhstan. Vladimir Putin¿s decision to invade Ukraine in February 2022 has led to the end of the post-Cold War paradigm of liberal convergence and has triggered a geopolitical shift that will lead to the establishment of a renewed bipolar world order. However, if Russia is responsible for that shift, it will most likely not be the power that will be the leading force of the anti-Western bloc. The leading force of this emerging bloc will rather be China to which Russia is inevitably destined to be relegated as a junior partner in Beijing¿s geopolitical orbit. This book, analyzing the geopolitics of a changing region, will interest scholars of international relations, Eurasia, and the economics of energy.

Military general, intelligence agent, aristocrat, author, historian, major player in the pre-Soviet Russian reactionary right, Alexander Dmitrievich Nechvolodov (1864-1938) yet remains a relatively obscure figure in the Western world's memory of the Russian revolution. In the early twentieth century, his masterpiece The Story of the Russian Land was regarded as one of the best works about the history of Russia and received the highest approval of Emperor Nicholas II, filling the country's libraries. Originally written in 1909, Volume I covers the time period from antiquity to 1054, encompassing the initial dispersal of peoples throughout Eastern Europe, the culture of the Scythians and their various interactions with ancient empires and kingdoms, the relationships of the Rus' people with the Goths, Huns, Avars, Khazars, and others, the creation of the Kievan Rus' state and lives of their early rulers, and the religious influence of the Byzantine Empire on Kievan Rus' and their adoption of Christianity. The complete set of all four volumes was published in 1913 with the addition of over one thousand figures, mostly paintings and engravings, and this edition does include those figures that pertain to Volume I, which enrich the story tremendously. Much unlike the typical, dry historical text, The Story of the Russian Land truly is a story, told with passion and excitement from an author who loved his nation and her people and history. Antelope Hill Publishing is honored to provide the first English translation of The Story of the Russian Land by Alexander Dmitrievich Nechvolodov. Complete with a foreword by the translator, Dennis Sinclair, as well as editorial annotations for the benefit of the modern reader and the addition of geographic maps, this story will captivate Russophiles and lovers of history alike.
