Applebaum Anne
Gulag a History
First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Fine-/Fine-. DJ unclipped This landmark book uncovers for the first time in detail one of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century: the vast system of Soviet camps that were responsible for the deaths of countless millions. Gulag is the only major history in any language to draw together the mass of memoirs and writings on the Soviet camps that have been published in Russia and the West. Using these, as well as her own original research, including interviews with survivors, Anne Applebaum has written a fully documented history of the camp system: from its origins under the tsars, to its colossal expansion under Stalin's reign of terror, its zenith in the late 1940s and eventual collapse in the era of glasnost. It is a gigantic feat of investigation, synthesis and moral reckoning. shows how the massive camp network, which eventually stretched across all of the Soviet Union's twelve time zones and saw some 18 million people pass through it, became a country within a country: a separate civilisation with its own laws, customs, literature, folklore, and morality

Shulman Elena
Stalinism on the Frontier of Empire, Women and State Formation in the Soviet Far East (ISBN:0521896673)
8vo, cloth in dj (280 pages) fascinating account of frontier Stalinism told through the previously unexplored history of a campaign to attract female settlers to the socialist frontiers of the Soviet Far East in the late 1930s. Elena Shulman reveals the instrumental part these migrants played in the extension of Soviet state power and cultural dominion in the region. Their remarkable stories, recovered from archival letters, party documents, memoirs, press coverage and films, shed new light on Soviet women s roles in state formation, the role of frontier Stalinism in structuring gender ideals and the nature of Soviet society and Stalinism in the 1930s. Through these narratives Elena Shulman offers a nuanced picture of the world of the frontier as well as the complexities of women s lives under Stalin and the limits of Moscow s rule over the periphery and even the Gulag. Contents: .Introduction, 1. Women and Soviet power, 2. 'Where Steel Cracks Like Glass', 3. 'Our Famous Valia'. The rise of a Soviet notable, 4. 'Envy for Everything Heroic'. Women volunteering for the frontier, 5. 'Bol'shevichki Were Never Ascetics ': female morale and Communist morality, 6. Snivelers and patriots, Conclusion.

Carter Miranda
Anthony Blunt: His Lives
&vo, 234mm x 153mm, 1002g. 356 pages, b. w illustrations. Anthony Blunt, aesthete, communist, homosexual, MI5 agent and Soviet mole, was Surveyor of the King's Pictures and Director of the Courtauld Institute. Betrayed in 1963, he voted for Margaret Thatcher in 1979. Late that year, she was to expose his treachery and strip him of his knighthood. While the other Cambridge spies (Philby, Burgess and Maclean) subordinated their lives and careers to espionage, Blunt had a separate passionate existence. His reputation as an art historian was second to none: he made an enormous contribution to the establishment of art history as an academic discipline; his volumes on Poussin, French and Italian art and old master drawings are still in print and some are still set texts.spionaggio, su uno dei personaggi più controversi della rete di Cambridge e Oxford reclutata dai sovietici, giunta ai massimi livelli nel MI5 e MI6, specialista di Poussin, distintosi come storico dell'arte. ottima copia.

Roberts William Clare
Marx`s Inferno The Political Theory of Capital
8vo. Marx s Inferno reconstructs the major arguments of Karl Marx s Capital and inaugurates a completely new reading of a seminal classic. Rather than simply a critique of classical political economy, William Roberts argues that Capital was primarily a careful engagement with the motives and aims of the workers movement. Understood in this light, Capital emerges as a profound work of political theory. Placing Marx against the background of nineteenth-century socialism, Roberts shows how Capital was ingeniously modeled on Dante s Inferno, and how Marx, playing the role of Virgil for the proletariat, introduced partisans of workers emancipation to the secret depths of the modern social Hell. In this manner, Marx revised republican ideas of freedom in response to the rise of capitalism. Combining research on Marx s interlocutors, textual scholarship, and forays into recent debates, Roberts traces the continuities linking Marx s theory of capitalism to the tradition of republican political thought. He immerses the reader in socialist debates about the nature of commerce, the experience of labor, the power of bosses and managers, and the possibilities of political organization. Roberts rescues those debates from the past, and shows how they speak to ever-renewed concerns about political life in today s world

Karl Schlögel
L'utopia e il terrore. Mosca 1937. Nel cuore della Russia di Stalin
8vo, br, ed, pp.834. Nel 1937 Mosca è la sede di grandiosi processi politici in cui le colpe degli accusati, del tutto inventate, vengono comunque minuziosamente analizzate. Al tempo stesso, la città vive uno stato di esaltazione. Il Commissario del popolo alterna la compilazione di liste di migliaia di dirigenti e operai da fucilare alla supervisione dei lavori della nuova metropolitana, le cui stazioni vengono inaugurate una dopo l'altra. Il Bolsoj, la piazza Rossa, le dacie in periferia, le esposizioni, ma anche i luoghi delle esecuzioni e i campi di lavoro nella zona del canale, a nord. E le vacanze estive, le strutture sportive, i cinema, le vetrine dei negozi e le feste danzanti. "Che fossero collaboratori o persino vittime, tutti si ritrovarono risucchiati, in un modo o nell'altro, nel grande movimento in cui si erano impegnati e che giunse alla sua fine solo nel 1938. La città non era altro che un enorme cantiere in continua trasformazione."

Slezkine Yuri
The House of Government: A Saga of the Russian Revolution
8vo, hardcover in dj, pp. xviii-1104, 416 b/w illus., 2 maps. On the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, the epic story of an enormous apartment building where Communist true believers lived before their destruction. The House of Government is unlike any other book about the Russian Revolution and the Soviet experiment. Written in the tradition of Tolstoy s War and Peace, Grossman s Life and Fate, and Solzhenitsyn s The Gulag Archipelago, Yuri Slezkine s gripping narrative tells the true story of the residents of an enormous Moscow apartment building where top Communist officials and their families lived before they were destroyed in Stalin s purges. A vivid account of the personal and public lives of Bolshevik true believers, the book begins with their conversion to Communism and ends with their children s loss of faith and the fall of the Soviet Union.Completed in 1931, the House of Government, later known as the House on the Embankment, was located across the Moscow River from the Kremlin. The largest residential building in Europe, it combined 505 furnished apartments with public spaces that included everything from a movie theater and a library to a tennis court and a shooting range. Slezkine tells the chilling story of how the building s residents lived in their apartments and ruled the Soviet state until some eight hundred of them were evicted from the House and led, one by one, to prison or their deaths.Drawing on letters, diaries, and interviews, and featuring hundreds of rare photographs, The House of Government weaves together biography, literary criticism, architectural history, and fascinating new theories of revolutions, millennial prophecies, and reigns of terror. The result is an unforgettable human saga of a building that, like the Soviet Union itself, became a haunted house, forever disturbed by the ghosts of the disappeared.

When Heroes Pass Away: The Invention of a Chinese Communist Pantheon
8vo, br. ed. pp.197. This book studies the treatment of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, and other Communist leaders from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. It also unravels the complex political culture in the last phase of Deng s China. The author explores why and how a Chinese Communist pantheon has risen at a time when Communist ideology is fading and the current Chinese leaders are coming to grips with a wide array of moral, social, and economic maladies. The Party has been marred by corruption and the whole society poisoned by greed. Thus, the invention of the pantheon is an important part of the official plan to preserve Communist rule.By highlighting patriotism, riding economic successes, manipulating public sentiment, and re-creating symbols, the state and power elite have skillfully promoted the pantheon to mitigate a legitimacy crisis and to relieve succession pangs. Jiang Zemin and his colleagues, who do not have the charisma of the Communist leaders of the older generation, need to link themselves to the top pantheon with the trinity of Mao, Zhou, and Deng at the top. Yet the pantheon is not merely an official product. Behind the facade of the great worship lies a multitude of intentions, purposes, and meanings, the work of a confluence of different interest groups.

Lewin Moshe
The Soviet Century
8vo, ix,416 pp "The USSR may no longer exist, but its history remains highly relevant-- perhaps today more so than ever. Yet it is a history which for a long time proved impossible to write, not simply due to the lack of accessible documentation, but also because it lay at the heart of an ideological confrontation which obscured the reality of the Soviet regime. In The Soviet Century, Moshe Lewin traces this history in all its complexity, drawing widely upon archive material previously unavailable. Highlighting key factors such as demography, economics, culture and political repression, Lewin guides us through the inner workings of a system which is still barely understood. In the process he overturns widely held beliefs about the USSR's leaders, the State-Party system and the Soviet bureaucracy--the "tentacled octopus" which held the real power. Departing from a simple linear history, The Soviet Century takes in all the continuities and ruptures that led, via a complex route, from the founding revolution of October 1917 to the final collapse of the late 1980s and early 1990s, passing through the Stalinist dictatorship and the impossible reforms of the Khrushchev years" - Publisher's description.
