Appel de la Fraction Socialiste-Révoltionnaire de la Conférence des Membres de l'Assemblée Constituate au prolétariat du monde entier et aux partis socialistes
No place 1921. Printed broadside. 1 vols. Folio 375 x 285 mm. Fold mark across middle. Expertly backed with linen. Browned three short tears can be seen though repaired by the backing. Very good. Printed broadside. 1 vols. Folio 375 x 285 mm. This appeal printed above the names of A. Kerensky Victor Tchernoff Chernov and other Russian Social Revolutionaries for the 32 former members of the Russian Constituent Assembly protests the hardships inflicted upon Russia by communism. They accuse the Bolshevik government and its New Economic Policy of selling Russia's natural resources to the greed of international capitalism. The NEP was announced by Lenin in March 1921 and inaugurated an interim policy guaranteeing freedom of trade in internal commerce and a system of concessions for the investment of foreign capital. European states and busineses were pleased with the NEP and saw in it Lenin's capitulation to capitalism. However what they considered a weakness eventually turned out to be a mark of strength and flexibility of Bolshevik policy. unknown books

Escape maps of Stalingrad and Stepnoy.
London: Ordnance Survey 1952. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1919 and 1916 with isogonals correct to 1953. These maps were issued in the early years of the Cold War only a decade after the region was ravaged in the Battle of Stalingrad. Stepnoy now Elista was renamed only five years after this map's publication. In the early years of the Cold War the CIA attempted to gather information on the Soviet Union through aerial spying missions flown with the co-operation of the British government. "The RAF formed a top-secret reconnaissance outfit in the spring of 1951. Churchill approved the RAF overflight program knowing that if one of the planes came down on Russian territory Labour MPs in an embarrassed and angered House of Commons undoubtedly would force a vote of confidence to bring down his government. But he balanced that possibility against the desperate need for radar pictures of Soviet military targets that would held SAC and RAF bombers in the event of war" Burrows pp. 131-33. In 1952 John Crampton flew a high-speed high-altitude test run over the Berlin corridor which Bomber Command followed with three simultaneous sorties reaching as far as Moscow itself. After a ten-hour mission that triggered the Soviet air defences "All three planes made it back to Sculthorpe with their radar imagery and without a scratch" Burrows p. 134 angering the Kremlin and prompting a review of the nation's air warning systems. The map of Stalingrad is the fourth edition and the map of Stepnoy is the fifth. Single sheet of cloth 605 x 554 mm colour maps with key on each side pale border on Stalingrad side lettered in red blue and black. Map bright sometime folded and creased edges a little frayed: a very good copy. William Burrows By Any Means Necessary: America's secret air war in the Cold War 2001. hardcover

Russia Prisoner of War Camps in World War One Architecture Pierce Herbert HD. H. D.
An Archive of Material Relating to Russian Prisoner of War Camps Mostly in Siberia 1914-1916 Including Several Hand Drawn Architectural Plans for a Camp at Omsk from the Estate of Diplomatic Assistant Herbert H.D. Pierce
Siberia Petrograd et al. 1916. First Edition. Various documents and letters most legal format roughly 200 pages in total with three publications and several newspapers on the subject and thirteen hand drawn architectural plans for a new camp at Omsk measuring between 25 x 17 and 13 x 8 inches. During World War One a staggering number of prisoners - roughly 2.4 of the five million in total who were sent to the Eastern Front - ended up as prisoners of war in Russia. Of that number roughly two million were from Austria-Hungary. Though often neglected by historians due to the attention given to the Russian Civil War and the atrocities of World War Two the subject has drawn increased historical interest with the historian Gerald H. Davis and others calling attention to its importance in the 1980s. Davis and others have written on the relationship between the large prisoner population and the dissolution of their nations as well as the abhorrent conditions many were forced to endure partially due to hierarchical structure of treatment due to differing attitudes by their Russian hosts toward different nations and ethnicities and partially due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure and resources to support such a large prisoner population. <br /> <br /> Offered here are the papers of Herbert H.D. Pierce the Special Aide to Embassador George T. Marye in Petrograd containing a substantial amount of firsthand accounts of prison conditions from the early years of the war as well as a striking series of manuscript architectural plans for a new prison camp that was built in Omsk. Pierce a diplomat who was most famously involved with a case involving seal fishing in the Berings Strait was appointed as a Special Aide out of his retirement and served until his death in 1916. It is possible that he was assigned the task of dealing with the prisoner of war situation as nearly all of his papers that we recovered from his estate from this period deal with the subject. Pierce was involved specifically with the disbursal of relief funds received from the German and Austro-Hungarian governments that were to be disbursed to their citizens. <br /> <br /> The highlight of the collection is a series of hand drawn architectural plans for a series of POW camp structures in Omsk bearing the signature of a N. Alexandrow architect. It is unclear what Pierce's exact relationship was to this project. The plans are translated into English in ink. Of particular interest are the separate officers' barracks plans as one of the violations of POW laws in Russia was the varying levels of treatment given to different prisoners in particular in their recognition of German and Austro-Hungarian ranking officers. There were twenty-eight prison camps in Omsk this one is not identified specifically. The Siberian camps often held up to 35000 prisoners this one shows plans for 10000. There were 128 camps in the Moscow region where camps typically housed 2000-5000 prisoners. The conditions of the camps were generally abysmal with camp capacities routinely exceeded by roughly 50-100%. Frequent disease outbreaks killed thousands of prisoners during the conflict in Omsk Novo-Nikolaevsk Sretensk and Totskoe specifically. <br /> <br /> The group includes letters written to Marye describing conditions in the camps as well as reports of the Americans' own observations in Siberia Moscow and elsewhere. Most are in English though several original documents in German are included. Also included are Pierce's working copies of the Second Hague Convention guidelines of 1907 Order 697 of the War Department that established the regulations regarding prisoners of war in 1914 and a copy of the agreement made between Germany and Russia in August of 1914 which allowed for all women and all men over 45 years and younger than 17 to leave the country unheeded. Some of the letters document violations of this agreement for example a fifty-five year old Austrian man writing to the embassy stating that he had been detained. The authorship of some of the reports is often unclear - one report is credited to "A Russian Lady" another from Krasnaya-Ratchka near Khabaraovsk is an uncredited 18 page description of prisoner conditions. One uncredited report nineteen pages long on the conditions of prisoners in the Moscow Circuit may have been written by Pierce himself and is addressed to Marye. Another 44 page report on Siberian prison conditions is uncredited and likely produced by the embassy itself. A portion - perhaps 25% or so - of the reports are incomplete or unclear in origin though there is much to glean from them regardless. <br /> <br /> Also included are three printed publications. The first is entitled Rapport du Conseiller Prive E.G. Chinkevitch Membre du Comte special de secours aux prisonniers de guerre sur la visite des camps des prissoniers Austro-Hongrois dans l'arrondissement militair d'Omsk printed in 1915. OCLC locates a single copy in France. The report outlines the observed conditions and includes twenty-six photographs of prisoners. The second is a forty-three page report addressed to James Gerard the American ambassador in Berlin by an unidentified author which outlines the prisoner of war conditions in England written in February of 1915. The third is a scarce map of Russian prisoner of war camps printed by L. Friederichsen in Hamburg in 1915 entitled Karte vom Europäischen und Asiatischen Russland mit Angabe der hauptsächlichsten Orte in denen sich Kriegsgefangene und zurückgehaltene Zivilpersonen befinden sowie mit Bestimmungen über den Postverkehr nach diesen Orten. The map shows locations of prison camps throughout the Russian Empire and also shows the mail routes. It is in fine condition overall and we locate six copies in OCLC. <br /> <br /> Overall a scarce survival of primary source material on a somewhat overlooked but important period in Russian history with relevance to diplomatic historians as well worthy of further study. <br /> <br /> Works cited: <br /> <br /> Grekov N.

Russia - Blaeu, Willem J (1571 - 1638)
Russiae Vulgo Moscovia dictae Pars Occidentalis. Auctore Isaaco Massa.
1664. Amsterdam Blaeu c.1664. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 48.7 cm x 38.6 cm. Sheet Size: 65.2 cm x 55.7 cm. Original map. In very good clean condition. Wide margins. Latin text on reverse. Koeman II 1803:2. From: J. Blaeus Grooten Atlas oft Werelt- Beschryving in welcke 't Aerdryck de Zee en Hemel wort vertoont en beschreven. Amsterdam J. Blaeu 1664. Van der Krogt 2 621. Beautiful map of mid-17th Century Russia published during the reign of Tsar Alexis of Russia of the Romanov Dynasty as Moscow vied for regional hegemony with the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden. 'Mosqua' Moscow is in the lower right corner. Smolesnsk is just squeezed in within the maps lower border. Novogorod can be seen just below the outflow of Lake Ilmen. In the upper left lies Estonia and the Gulf of Finland. Below this is the 'Livonia' region which is now between Latvia and Estonia. The regions listed as 'Ingria' and 'Careliae Pars' on the map were then under the control of the Swedes. The Russians would eventually seize this territory and dominance of the Baltic and build their new capital St. Petersburg there. This lay in the future. The map's political delineation shows the westward extent of Moscow's reach. 'Lithva' in the lower left of the map was then within the territory of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This region is now modern-day Belarus: 'Witespk' is now the Belarussian city of Viciebsk. Relief depicted pictorially and the historic place-names are in Latin. The cathedral cities such as Pereslaw Pereslavl-Zalessky and Ieroslaw Yaroslavl and Pseskow/Pskouwa Pskov are depicted. With numerous deers and foxes seen across the map the mapmaker indicates that this is a vast region still untamed. In the 'Megrina' province the mapmaker shows a bear-hunt at its deadly denouement. The map is covered with forested areas and vast waterways such as the Volga and Volkhov and Daugava/Dvina 'Duna flu' Dnieper Boristenis Flu rivers and a patchwork of lakes such as Lake Peipus and 'Biela Osera' Rybinsk Reservoir. Large decorative title cartouche accompanied with busts of moose and deer in the left top corner of the map. The eagles of the Russian coat of arms look east and west from the top right corner of the map. In the lower left corner an ornate cartouche contains two milliaria bar scales. Blaeu as it is noted on the cartouche based the map on the travels and maps of Isaac Massa. Isaac Abrahamszoon Massa 1586 - 1643 was a Dutch grain trader traveller and diplomat the envoy to Muscovy. He wrote memoirs related to the Time of Troubles and created some of the earliest maps of Eastern Europe and Siberia. Massa in Moscow witnessed the second half of Boris Godunov's reign during which a civil war broke out now known as the Time of Troubles. He survived the capture of Moscow by False Dmitriy I and left Russia in 1609 before the fall of Tsar Vasily Shuysky. Massa compiled an account of the 16011609 events Dutch: Een cort Verhael van Begin en Oorspronk deser tegenwoordighe Oorloogen en troeblen in Moscovia totten jare 1610 which he presented to Stadtholder Maurice. In 16121613 Massa published two articles on Russian events and the geography of the Land of Samoyeds accompanied by a map of Russia which were published in an almanac edited by Hessel Gerritsz. His notes on his various travels have been published in conjunction with maps made by the explorer Henry Hudson. Massa is credited with five published maps of Russia and its provinces the last ones compiled around 1633 and two maps of Moscow city including the schematic account of the 1606 battle between Vasily Shuysky and Ivan Bolotnikov's armies. He returned to Russia in 1614 and became an active agent in a myriad of diplomatic and commercial schemes and endeavours between Western states and companies and Moscow. Massa a wealthy and prominent man of the world has been the subject of several portraits by Dutch painter Frans Hals. Wikipedia Willem Janszoon Blaeu 1571-1638 was a Dutch cartographer atlas maker and publisher. Along with his son Johannes Blaeu Willem is considered one of the notable figures of the Netherlandish/Dutch school of cartography in its golden age the 16th and 17th centuries. Blaeu set up his mapmaking and publishing business in Amsterdam where he sold instruments and globes published maps and edited the works of intellectuals like Descartes and Hugo Grotius. In 1633 he was appointed map-maker of the Dutch East India Company. In 1635 he released his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum sive Atlas novus. Willem died in 1638. He had two sons Cornelis 1610-1648 and Johannes 1596-1673. Joan trained as a lawyer but joined his father's business rather than practice. After his father's death the brothers took over their father's shop and Joan took on his work as hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company. Later in life Joan would modify and greatly expand his father's Atlas novus eventually releasing his masterpiece the Atlas maior between 1662 and 1672. Wikipedia unknown

RUSSIA - LEAGUE OF EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
Golosuite za spisok #7.
Petrograd: Tsentr. Tipograf 1917. A new Russia should be built by women and men together A remarkable survival of a flyer printed by the All-Russian League of Equal Rights for Women for their political campaign for the election to the Constituent Assembly in November 1917. The League participated in elections as its own party under the number 7. In English the flyer text reads: ''Female Citizens and male citizens! The League of Equality for Women wishing that the right of women to participate in the Constituent Assembly was not only on paper expose its candidates to the Constituent Assembly. Vote for the list number 7. If you want our children not to grow up without a home and the old people to not die on the street - send women to the Constituent Assembly. In America Australia and other countries where women take part in the drafting of laws the number of schools is multiplied prisons are empty debauchery and drunkenness noticeably diminish the protection of children and the elderly is fully secured by law. Let's send women to the Constituent Assembly too. The old Russia was built only by men and the grief and misfortunes of the motherland were always shared with them by mothers wives and daughters. A new Russia should be built by women and men together! The most important Russian laws will be written in the Constituent Assembly. From the laws that will be created in the Constituent Assembly the fate and life of many generations depends not only on men but also on women and so send women to the Constituent Assembly.''. The campaign for women's political rights in Russia termed the ''women's liberation movement'' became possible only with the beginning of the revolution in 1905 when the question of the democratization of the political system arose. The oldest women's association in Russia the All-Russian Women's Mutual Charity Society established in 1895 was actively involved and new organizations were created: the Union for the Equality of Women 1905 Women's Progressive Party 1905 and the All-Russian League of Equal Rights for Women 1907. The most influential organization was the first the Union which had 48 offices in various cities across Russia and actively conducted agitation among women workers and peasants. After its disintegration the League of Equal Rights for Women became its successor. Members of the League deliberately abandoned the broad political programme and focused their attention only on suffragist demands practising agitation tours through the provinces Orel Saratov Rostov-on-Don Kremenets Tomsk Kiev Simferopol and Narva. As a result branches of the League emerged in many cities including Moscow 1910 Kharkov 1912 Tomsk 1914 and Yekaterinburg 1914. This included the establishment of the following departments: a reading room for street children with a view to preventing child prostitution; a publishing committee that printed cheap pamphlets and books on women's issues; and an editorial commission that published the proceedings of the congress. Every day reports were given on the issues of women's equality in the League's premises. After the February Revolution delegates from the League repeatedly met with the leaders of the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies on the issue of women's suffrage. Despite initial promises of support they refused to immediately act on granting political rights to women. In response the League organized the famous mass march on 20 March 1917 which brought together about 40000 women. To that date it was the most numerous and memorable stand by the Russian women's movement and resulted in the adoption by the Provisional Government of a decree on universal suffrage which was passed on 20 July 1917. Single-sided flyer 365 x 220 mm. In near-fine condition. unknown

Russia Bond 1917 Russian Revolution
Russia Bond Irkutsk 1917 The year of the Russian Revolution
Russia bond Irkutsk 1917 This bond dates from the year of the Bolshevik revolution. 200 rubles P-S886. During the Russian Civil War which broke out after the October Revolution the city of Irkutsk to whom this Bond was issued became the site of many furious bloody clashes between the "White movement" and the "Red Bolsheviks". In 1920 Aleksandr Kolchak the commander of the largest contingent of anti-Bolshevik forces was executed in Irkutsk. This effectively destroyed the anti-Bolshevik resistance. Bolshevik revolutionaries overthrew the Provisional government subsequently creating the Soviet government. The amounts of payments in default were enormous. the repudiation of the old debt by the Soviet government shocked international finance and triggered unanimous condemnation by the governments of the great powers. The revolutionary Russia completely fell out of the world economy and sealed itself up in isolation. unknown books
