‎Calming the Ferghana Valley: Development and dialogue in the heart of Central Asia (Preventive Action Reports, V. 4).‎

‎New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 196 p. Calming the Ferghana Valley: Development and dialogue in the heart of Central Asia (Preventive Action Reports, V. 4). Of all the regions of the former Soviet Union, Central Asia is potentially one of the most explosive and certainly one of the least understood. It is also growing rapidly in importance to U.S. national security, commercial, and foreign policy interests: it has vast oil, gas, gold, and other resources; it has become a source and transit route for narcotics and possible nuclear and other materials; and it is affected by the fierce conflicts in Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Vast in size (larger than Eastern and Western Europe combined), and with a rapidly growing population of over 50 million people, it is marked by the persistence of relatively corrupt and authoritarian governments. This report assesses the potential for conflict in Central Asia through the prism of one of its most volatile areas, the Ferghana Valley. Spanning parts of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, the Ferghana Valley is home to 20 percent of Central Asia's entire population. The region has recently experienced increasing religious and ethnic tensions--the further danger being that instability in the valley could spread more widely throughout Central Asia. The Ferghana Valley project of the Council on Foreign Relations' Center for Preventive Action (CPA) has produced this report as the fourth volume in its series of Preventive Action Reports. Sponsored by The Council on Foreign Relations and The Century Foundation.‎

‎SEPP [JOSEPH] FINGER, (1901-1962).‎

‎[CAUCASUS / TALES] Märchen aus Lasistan. [i.e. Fairy tales from Lazistan]: Sonderabdruck aus den Mitteilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft in Wien, Bd. LXIX.).‎

‎Very Good German Contemporary black cloth bdg. Original covers in binding. 4to. (27,5 x 20 cm). In German. 173-224 pp. Ownership signature on colophon, some underlined sentences, and markings. Otherwise a good copy. Exceedingly rare separatum of collected and compiled 27 Laz (Lazuri) fairy and folk tales around Rize area of Turkey as well as an introduction and short information on folklorists of Lazistan by Finger. From introduction: "Die nachstehenden Märchen wurden von mir im Jahre 1934 in der kleinen Nahie Kurayiseb'a, etwa 80 km landeinwarts von Rize am Kalopotamos gelegen, aufgezeichnet. Der kleine Han, der wir dort durch etwa 14 Tage bewohnten, war abends Treffpunkt der Jugend des Ortes, und die Märchen wurden mir im Austausch gegen deutsche Sagen und Märchen, die ich erzahlte, mitgeteilt." [i.e. The following fairy tales were recorded by me in 1934 in the small town Kurayiseb'a, about 80 km inland from Rize on the Kalopotamos. Little Han, which we lived there for about 14 days, was the evening meeting place for the local youth, and the fairy tales were given to me in exchange for German sagas and fairy tales that I told]. Josef (Sepp) Finger studied at the Handelsakademie and was employed from 1919 in a Vienna bank. In 1926 he emigrated to Turkey, living in Ankara and Constantinople (Istanbul), traveling around Asia Minor, and working for the Deutsche Orientbank. From 1927 he worked at the Austrian legation in Turkey and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Istanbul and he also organized a zoological study trip through Anatolia. He returned to Vienna at the end of 1934 and was employed by the Österreichisches Verkehrsbüro. After the annexation of Austria, he was employed initially at the Feinstahlwerke in Traisen, Lower Austria, and then as an export manager in Vienna. Finger, who spoke Turkish and several European languages, was employed in 1939 as an interpreter in the Vienna Gestapo censorship department and also joined the SS Security Service (SD) that year. He attended the SS leadership school in Fulda in 1941 and was promoted to SS-Obersturmführer. In 1943/44 he published extensive travel reports, particularly about Turkey, in the Völkischer Beobachter. Until September 1944 he worked in the press censorship department of the Vienna Gestapo and later in Department (Amt) IV (Gestapo) of the Reich Security Main Office in Berlin. He moved to the anti-Communist Department (Amt) VI in February 1945. His last posting was in the special department for combating Austrian resistance. From February 1946 to July 1947 he was detained in the Marcus W. Orr US internment camp in Glasenbach near Salzburg. He said nothing there or during registration as a Nazi about his career in the Gestapo and ultimately lived under a false identity in the Saalfelden area. In 1947 he was transferred to the prison of the Landesgericht für Strafsachen (provincial court for criminal matters) in Vienna, and Volksgericht proceedings were instituted against him under §§ 8, 10, and 11 of the Prohibition Act (registration fraud, illegality, and qualified illegality). Finger claimed that he had been sent to the Gestapo by the employment department and had been used there merely for "subordinate activities". In 1949 the public prosecutor's office in Vienna dropped the case. On several occasions between 1935 and 1944, Finger had given or sold the Museum für Völkerkunde (Museum of Ethnology, now Weltmuseum Wien) objects from the Caucasus, Asia Minor, Persia, and the Middle East. The objects were not identified as having been expropriated by the Nazis, and it is most likely that Finger acquired them during his long sojourns abroad. The Art Restitution Advisory Board took note of a report on the ethnographic items in the Weltmuseum from Finger on 30 November 2012 and a dossier on textiles in the MAK on 26 September 2014. (Lexikon Provenienzforschung online). Only one copy in OCLC: 560570599 (The British Library, St. Pancras of London).‎

‎Karakumskii Kanal i ego djizn'. [= The Karakum Canal and its story].‎

‎Very Good Russian Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Russian. 79, [2] p., b/w plates. Karakumskii kanal i ego djizn'. [= The Karakum Canal and its story]. The Karakum Canal in Turkmenistan is one of the largest irrigation and water supply canals in the world. Started in 1954, and completed in 1988, it is navigable over much of its 1,375-kilometre (854 mi) length, and carries 13 cubic kilometres (3.1 cu mi) of water annually from the Amu-Darya River across the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. The canal opened up huge new tracts of land to agriculture, especially to cotton monoculture heavily promoted by the Soviet Union, and supplying Ashgabat with a major source of water. Unfortunately, the primitive construction of the canal allows almost 50 percent of the water to escape en route, creating lakes and ponds along the canal, and a rise in groundwater leading to widespread soil salinization problems. The canal is also a major factor leading to the Aral Sea environmental disaster. The current Karakum Canal was not the first major attempt to bring the Amu-Darya water to the Karakums. In the early 1950s, construction began on the Main Turkmen Canal which would start at a much more northerly location (near Nukus), and run southwest toward Krasnovodsk. The canal would have used around 25 percent of the Amu-Darya's water. The works were abandoned after the death of Joseph Stalin, the current Karakum Canal route being chosen instead. Reservoirs such as Hanhowuz Reservoir were created to help regulate it.‎
