Mochulsky Fyodor Vasilevich
Gulag Boss a Soviet Memoir
8vo 216 x 145 mm. searing accounts of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Evgeniia Ginzburg and Varlam Shalamov opened the world's eyes to the terrors of the Soviet Gulag. But not until now has there been a memoir of life inside the camps written from the perspective of an actual employee of the Secret police. In this riveting memoir, superbly translated by Deborah Kaple, Fyodor Mochulsky describes being sent to work as a boss at the forced labor camp of Pechorlag in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle. Only twenty-two years old, he had but a vague idea of the true nature of the Gulag. What he discovered was a world of unimaginable suffering and death, a world where men were starved, beaten, worked to death, or simply executed. Mochulsky details the horrific conditions in the camps and the challenges facing all those involved, from prisoners to guards. He depicts the power struggles within the camps between the secret police and the communist party, between the political prisoners (most of whom had been arrested for the generic crime of counter-revolutionary activities) and the criminal convicts.And because Mochulsky writes of what he witnessed with the detachment of the engineer that he was, readers can easily understand how a system that destroyed millions of lives could be run by ordinary Soviet citizens who believed they were advancing the cause of socialism. Mochulsky remained a communist party member his entire life--he would later become a diplomat--but was deeply troubled by the gap between socialist theory and the Soviet reality of slave labor and mass murder. This unprecedented memoir takes readers into that reality and sheds new light on one of the most harrowing tragedies of the 20th century.

King David
Red Star Over Russia: A Visual History of the Soviet Union from 1917 to the Death of Stalin
4to softcover New. 291 x 248 mm. Through an amazing array of posters, photographs, paintings, magazines, book jackets, advertisements, pamphlets and other rare ephemera, "Red Star Over Russia" tells the story of the Soviet Union, from the Russian Revolution to the death of Stalin. During this period Soviet citizens endured revolutionary upheavals, civil war, Nazi invasion, famine and appalling oppression. For countless millions, revolutionary dreams were transformed into unspeakable tragedy. Yet it was also a time of intense creativity, in which the hopes, aspirations and revolutionary fervour of a people were captured in an extraordinary outpouring of visual material. Universally acclaimed on its publication in 2009, David King's masterful book is the fruit of over 40 years of research. In it, he rescues many of the unsung heroes of the epic struggles that shaped the Soviet Union from obscurity and commemorates the talent of some of the most brilliant artists, photographers and designers of the twentieth century. would require extra shipping for international orders.

Draitser, Emil
Shush! Growing Up Jewish under Stalin: A Memoir
8vo, 235 x 159 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Many years after making his way to America from Odessa in Soviet Ukraine, Emil Draitser made a startling discovery: every time he uttered the word 'Jewish' - even in casual conversation - he lowered his voice. This behavior was a natural by-product, he realized, of growing up in the anti-Semitic, post-Holocaust Soviet Union, when 'Shush!' was the most frequent word he heard: 'Don't use your Jewish name in public. Don't speak a word of Yiddish. And don't cry over your murdered relatives'. This compelling memoir conveys the reader back to Draitser's childhood and provides a unique account of midtwentieth-century life in Russia as the young Draitser struggles to reconcile the harsh values of Soviet society with the values of his working-class Jewish family. Lively, evocative, and rich with humor, this unforgettable story ends with the death of Stalin and, through life stories of the author's ancestors, presents a sweeping panorama of two centuries of Jewish history in Russia.

Werth Nicolas
Nemici del popolo. Autopsia di un assassinio di massa. Urss, 1937-38
8vo, pp. 296. Dietro la facciata dei processi-farsa che liquidarono gli oppositori politici di Stalin nel 1936-38, la "grande purga" sterminò, in sei mesi fra il 1937 e il 1938, qualcosa come 1500 persone al giorno: persone comuni accusate ed eliminate senza colpa alcuna. Tutto muove da una direttiva generale di Stalin che mira a ripulire l'Urss dai "nemici del popolo" e fissa, regione per regione, le quote di arresti, di condanne, di esecuzioni da effettuare. La spietatezza staliniana si sposa alle logiche disumane della burocrazia, allo spirito di emulazione delle amministrazioni, agli eccessi di zelo dei gregari, producendo un gigantesco assassinio di massa. Il saggio di Werth si addentra nei corridoi e nei sotterranei dell'amministrazione sovietica, segue l'andirivieni delle direttive e delle relazioni fra il centro e le periferie, per raccontare la messa in opera dell'impressionante macchina politico-burocratica del Terrore che stritolò nei suoi ingranaggi non meno di 750 mila persone

Johnston Timothy
Being Soviet (Identity, Rumour, and Everyday Life under Stalin 1939-1953)
8vo. 6 illustrations. ISBN: 0199604037 Pages: 292 . adopts a refreshing and innovative approach to the years between the Nazi-Soviet Pact and Stalin's death in the USSR. Timothy Johnston draws on newspapers, films, plays, and popular music in order to examine the changing nature of Soviet identity in this era. He pays particular attention to the evolution of Britain and America from wartime allies to Cold War enemies. Being Soviet then explores how ordinary citizens related to this official version of Soviet identity. It examines that question via the rumours, jazz music, hairstyles, jokes, anti-war campaigns, and sexual relationships of the time. Johnston argues that these 'everyday' activities defined Soviet identity for the man on the street in the USSR. At the heart of the book is a sustained critique of the current emphasis on 'supporters' or 'resistors' of the regime. Johnston suggests that the shadow of Foucault looms too large in the history of Stalinism. The relationship between Soviet citizens and Soviet power was defined by the subtle tactics of everyday living. For many, life was not defined by 'belief' or 'unbelief' but rather the constant struggle to stay fed, informed, and entertained. This more nuanced approach offers a rich and textured image of what it meant to be Soviet in Stalin's least years.

Politicizing Magic: An Anthology of Russian and Soviet Fairy Tales
8vo Paperback. Book Condition: New. 229 x 152 mm. A compendium of folkloric, literary, and critical texts that show how the Russian fairy tale acquired political and historical meanings during the Soviet era We were born to make fairy tales come true. As one of Stalinism's more memorable slogans, this one suggests that the fairy tale figured in Soviet culture as far more than a category of children's literature. How much more-and how cannily Russian fairy tales reflect and interpret Soviet culture, especially in its utopian ambitions-becomes clear for the first time in Politicizing Magic, a compendium of folkloric, literary, and critical texts that demonstrate the degree to which ancient fairy-tale fantasies acquired political and historical meanings during the catastrophic twentieth century.Introducing Western readers to the most representative texts of Russian folkloric and literary tales, this book documents a rich exploration of this colorful genre through all periods of Soviet literary production (1920-1985) by authors with varied political and aesthetic allegiances. Here are traditional Russian folkloric tales and transformations of these tales that, adopting the didacticism of Soviet ideology, proved significant for the official discourse of Socialist Realism. Here, too, are narratives produced during the same era that use the fairy-tale paradigm as a deconstructive device aimed at the very underpinnings of the Soviet system. The editors' introductory essays acquaint readers with the fairy-tale paradigm and the permutations it underwent within the utopian dream of Soviet culture, deftly placing each-from traditional folklore to fairy tales of Socialist Realism, to real-life events recast as fairy tales for ironic effect-in its literary, historical, and political contex

3 parts in one volume, 8vo hardcover 4 large folding maps by T. Kitchin and one folding plate by I. Cheevers. "The Reverend William Coxe was an English historian who travelled widely in Europe and Russia. During a stay in St. Petersburg, Coxe researched recent Russian discoveries between Asia and America, which resulted in the present work. He endeavoured to collect the journals of several voyages subsequent to Bering's 1741 expedition, with which Gerard Friedrich Muller had concluded his account of the first Russian navigations. Coxe recounts the principal Russian discoveries and explorations made in northwestern America in their attempts to open communications with Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. The voyages and discoveries of Nevodsikoff, Serebranikoff, Trapesnikoff, Pushkareff, Drusinin, Kulkoff, Korovin, Glotoff, Solovioff, Otcheredin, Krenitzin, Levasheff, Synd, Bering, Chirikiv, and several others are included.Coxe made suggestions which led the Russians to promote expeditions of discovery to the northern parts of Siberia. Notable in the present work are a useful bibliography and pertinent observations on the fur trade between the Russians and the Chinese" (Hill)

L'Empire d'Eurasie : Une histoire de l'Empire russe de 1552 à nos Jours
8vo, couv rigide, pp.491- " Tout empire est condamné à périr ! " Celui de Russie constitue une extraordinaire exception à cette règle. Dans toute l'histoire des empires il fut l'un des plus vastes. Des plus durables aussi, battu seulement par les empires romain, byzantin et ottoman. Il est le seul qui ait péri (1917) puis se soit reconstitué pour reprendre ses conquêtes. Disparu encore une fois en 1992, il a laissé place à la Russie qui ressemble à maints égards à l'Empire tel qu'il naquit en 1552. Comme celui-ci, la Russie est étendue sur deux continents, l'Europe et l'Asie ; comme lui, elle conserve dans ses frontières une multitude de civilisations et de peuples différents. Comme lui, elle est un État chrétien, mais aussi formé de musulmans et même de bouddhistes ; et comme lui encore, la Russie doit assurer la paix de ce monde si divers. Elle doit aussi décider si elle est un État européen ou si elle est d'Eurasie. L'histoire agitée de cet empire devenu Russie pose une question décisive pour l'avenir du continent appelé Europe et pour celui de l'Union européenne qui s'interroge encore sur ses frontières. L'Eurasie est-elle une nouvelle entité des relations internationales au moment où tous les pays cherchent à rejoindre de grandes formations ? ou bien s'agit-il d'un ensemble déjà dépassé dont chaque composante s'en ira vers l'univers auquel elle appartient : l'Europe ou l'Asie ? Les questions posées par ce livre sont bien au cur de l'actualité géopolitique des prochaines décennies.

Vitale Serena
Il defunto odiava i Pettegolezzi
8vo, br. ed. bandelle. Mosca, 14 aprile 1930. Intorno alle undici del mattino i telefoni si mettono a suonare tutti insieme, come indemoniati, diffondendo "l'oceanica notizia" del suicidio di Vladimir Majakovskij: uno sparo al cuore, che immediatamente trasporta il poeta nella costellazione delle giovani leggende. Per alcuni quella fine appare come un segno: è morta l'utopia rivoluzionaria. Ma c'è anche il coro dei filistei: si è ucciso perché aveva la sifilide; perché era oppresso dalle tasse; perché in questo modo i suoi libri andranno a ruba. E ci sono l'imbarazzo e l'irritazione della nomenklatura di fronte a quella "stupida, pusillanime morte", inconciliabile con la gioia di Stato. Ma che cosa succede davvero quella mattina nella minuscola stanza di una 'kommunalka' dove Majakovskij è da poco arrivato in compagnia di una giovane e bellissima attrice, sua amante? Studiando con acribia e passione le testimonianze dei contemporanei, i giornali dell'epoca, i documenti riemersi dagli archivi dopo il 1991 (dai verbali degli interrogatori ai "pettegolezzi" raccolti da informatori della polizia politica), sfatando le varie, pittoresche congetture formulate nel tempo, Serena Vitale ha ricostruito quello che ancora oggi è considerato, in Russia, uno dei grandi misteri - fu davvero suicidio? dell'epoca sovietica. E regala al lettore un romanzo-indagine che è anche un fervido omaggio a Majakovskij, realizzazione del suo estremo desiderio: parlare ai posteri - e "ai secoli, alla storia, al creato" -in versi.

La cena delle anime morte. Gogol e la cucina Russa
8vo, br. ed. pp.112. Grande affresco ottocentesco, Le anime morte sono la prima e unica parte rimastaci di un poema in prosa che, seguendo il protagonista nel suo peregrinare attraverso la sterminata provincia russa, ritrae un'epoca. A ogni tappa un personaggio, un interno e una cena che rivela, più di ogni altra cosa, caratteri, inclinazioni, vizi e speranze dei commensali e della comunità locale. Gogol - il "Balzac russo", come lo definì Tolstoj, o il Petronio moderno - proprio attraverso il cibo e i suoi rituali compone una serie di ritratti indelebili di una società indolentemente adagiata sul limite del baratro.

The Power of Pictures: Early Soviet Photography, Early Soviet Film
4to,pp.238. Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, photography, film, and posters played an essential role in the campaign to disseminate modernity and Communist ideology. From early experimental works by Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky to the modernist photojournalism of Arkady Shaikhet and Max Penson, Soviet photographers were not only in the vanguard of style and technological innovation but also radical in their integration of art and politics. Filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Sergei Eisenstein, and Esfir Shub pioneered cinematic techniques for works intended to mobilize viewers. Covering the period from the Revolution to the beginning of World War II, The Power of Pictures considers Soviet avant-garde photography and film in the context of political history and culture. Three essays trace this generation of artists, their experiments with new media, and their pursuit of a new political order. A wealth of stunning photographs, film stills, and film posters, as well as magazine and book designs, demonstrate that their output encompassed a spectacular range of style, content, and perspective, and an extraordinary sense of the power of the photograph to change the world.

Culture Matters in Russia and Everywhere: Backdrop for the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
8vo, hardcover èè.582. This book pulls together experts in the fields of economics and Russian culture, all participants in the Samuel P. Huntington Memorial Symposium on Culture, Cultural Change and Economic Development, a follow-up to the 1999 Cultural Values and Human Progress Symposium at Harvard University. As the sequel to the 2001 volume Culture Matters, it discusses modernization, democratization, economic, and political reforms in Russia and asserts that these reforms can happen through the reframing of cultural values, attitudes, and institutions. This is a superb compendium for anyone wanting to understand the vital role cultural values play in the achievements and failures of any tribe, society, or nation. Only Lawrence Harrison could have brought together thirty-nine of the world's preeminent experts in human culture to present their work at this historic Moscow Conference. Thanks to Harrison, these are all now captured in this book. Among presenters, Russia's former Minister of Economic Development, Eygeny Yasin, now Academic Supervisor at the Higher School of Economics, led a group of eight prominent Russians. Their excellent papers (chapters in the book) cover: the role of the Orthodox church; the status of Russia's market economy; Russians' views on work; entrepreneurship; private property; security; stability; and other cultural values important in that country-and in all the others as well. -- Steven Pease, author of The Golden Age of Jewish Achievement and co-chair of the US-Russia Foundation Lawrence Harrison has been a pioneer in applying a cultural perspective to intractable questions of economic and political development. His most famous early work was on Latin America, and now he asks similarly penetrating questions about Russia's present and future. It is a topic of enormous significance, and the chapters in this volume are clarifying and stimulating. -- James Fallows, national correspondent, The Atlantic Monthly About the Author Lawrence Harrison is visiting scholar, retired, at Tufts University's Fletcher School and author of Jews, Confucians, and Protestants: Cultural Capital and the End of Multiculturalism. Evgeny Yasin is academic supervisor at the National Research University-Higher School of Economics and author of Will Democracy Survive in Russia?

La verità Sul Caso Abel (la Storia Vera Che Ha Ispirato Il Film Il Ponte Delle Spie
Traduzione di Di Giuro V. Milano, 2015 ;8vo, ril.,sovracop. con fascetta editoriale pp. 380. (Saggi). La mattina del 10 febbraio 1962, James Donovan è in missione sulla Glienicker Brücke, il celebre ponte delle spie che collega Berlino Ovest con l'Est comunista. Al suo fianco c'è Rudolf Abel, la più misteriosa ed efficiente spia del XX secolo, per anni clandestinamente negli Stati Uniti a capo dell'intelligence russa. Dall'altra parte del ponte, i sovietici tengono in ostaggio Francis Powers, il pilota di un U-2 americano abbattuto mentre era in volo segreto sull'URSS: Donovan ha ricevuto dal presidente Kennedy l'incarico di riportarlo in patria a ogni costo. La verità sul caso Rudolf Abel ci catapulta nelle drammatiche giornate vissute per realizzare lo scambio di prigionieri, nelle lunghe e pericolose trattative diplomatiche, nei momenti concitati e avventurosi della guerra fredda tra due blocchi con le armi costantemente puntate

Ulitskaya Ludmila
Una Storia Russa
8vo, br. ed. sovracop. "Una storia russa" racconta la storia di tre compagni di scuola che si incontrano a Mosca negli anni cinquanta: un poeta rimasto orfano, un fragile ma molto dotato pianista e un fotografo in erba con il grande talento di collezionare segreti. Tutti e tre si fanno strada verso l'età adulta in una società dove il loro eroi sono stati censurati se non esiliati. Un racconto pieno di passioni e intrighi, questo romanzo è un ritratto della vita dopo Stalin e un'indagine drammatica che scandaglia integrità individuale in una società governata dal KGB. I protagonisti cercano di trascendere l'oppressione del regime attraverso l'arte, l'amore per la letteratura russa e l'attivismo. E ciascuno di loro finisce per ritrovarsi faccia a faccia con la polizia segreta, estremamente pronta a fomentare paranoia, sospetti e tradimenti. Il romanzo di Ludmila Ulitskaya prosegue la tradizione dei grandi autori russi, da Dostoevskij a Tolstoj fino a Pasternak: un'opera che brucia di politica, amore e fede, un inno alla vita anche nei momenti più oscuri.

Van Buskirk, Emily
Lydia Ginzburg's Prose: Reality in Search of Literature
8vo, 355 pages. The Russian writer Lydia Ginzburg (1902-90) is best known for her Notes from the Leningrad Blockade and for influential critical studies, such as On Psychological Prose, investigating the problem of literary character in French and Russian novels and memoirs. Yet she viewed her most vital work to be the extensive prose fragments, composed for the desk drawer, in which she analyzed herself and other members of the Russian intelligentsia through seven traumatic decades of Soviet history. In this book, the first full-length English-language study of the writer, Emily Van Buskirk presents Ginzburg as a figure of previously unrecognized innovation and importance in the literary landscape of the twentieth century. Based on a decade's work in Ginzburg's archives, the book discusses previously unknown manuscripts and uncovers a wealth of new information about the author's life, focusing on Ginzburg's quest for a new kind of writing adequate to her times. She writes of universal experiences--frustrated love, professional failures, remorse, aging--and explores the modern fragmentation of identity in the context of war, terror, and an oppressive state. Searching for a new concept of the self, and deeming the psychological novel (a beloved academic specialty) inadequate to express this concept, Ginzburg turned to fragmentary narratives that blur the lines between history, autobiography, and fiction. This full account of Ginzburg's writing career in many genres and emotional registers enables us not only to rethink the experience of Soviet intellectuals, but to arrive at a new understanding of writing and witnessing during a horrific century.

8vo, br. ed. Né en France en 1909, Jacques Rossi passera 19 ans au Goulag. Français et agent du Komintern en Espagne pendant la guerre civile, Jacques Rossi est rappelé à Moscou en 1937. Happé dans le mécanisme des purges, il est condamné sans procès à huit ans de travaux de redressement pour "espionnage au profit de la France et de la Pologne". En 1948, sa qualité de "contre-révolutionnaire" lui vaudra une rallonge de dix ans. Il sera libéré en 1956 après le congrès. Ces quelque vingt années au goulag dont pas fait de Jacques Rossi un homme amer mais un homme libre à jamais, terriblement lucide, dont l'humour noir ravageur va déconcerter plus d'un lecteur. Ne dit-il pas que ce séjour dans les bagnes soviétiques, qu'il qualifie de "laboratoires de sociologie appliquée", a été l'occasion unique d'observer le système soviétique à nu, sans masque. Dans ses récits, Jacques Rossi nous décrit l'univers du goulag au quotidien. Son témoignage hallucinant est servi par une écriture d'où est exclue toute sensiblerie. Il nous donne à voir l'humanité souffrante au travers des existences mutilées, brisées de femmes et d'hommes dont le seul crime, aux yeux du régime stalinien, était pour la plupart d'être nés. Un livre essentiel pour qui veut comprendre comment une utopie fut dévoyée en une barbarie qui fit des millions de victimes.

Blakesley Rosalind P., Tatiana L. Karpova
Russia and the Arts
4to, br. ed. 290 x 230 mm. Language: English Brand New Book. Russian portraiture enjoyed a golden age between the late 1860s and the First World War. While Tolstoy and Dostoevsky were publishing masterpieces such as Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov and Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov were taking Russian music to new heights, Russian art was developing a new self-confidence. The penetrating Realism of the 1870s and 1880s was later complemented by the brighter hues of Russian Impressionism and the bold, faceted forms of Symbolist painting. In providing a context, author Rosalind P. Blakesley looks in the first and second chapters at the portrait tradition in Russia: the rise of secular portrait painting following the founding of the Academy of Arts in St Petersburg in 1757; the shifting tastes of patrons and publics; the reception of portraits in exhibitions and collections (including those of the tsars); and the role of portraiture in the cultural politics of imperial Russia. Starting with the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867, at which a distinct Russian school of painting was recognised for the first time, the third chapter examines developments in theatre and music, the rising Realist aesthetic and the powerful voices of wealthy patrons from the worlds of industry and commerce, such as Pavel Tretyakov. Chapter Four looks at the rise of novel forms of visual expression through experimentation, from Impressionism to Symbolism, and the World of Art Movement, with its conscious reconnection with artistic developments in the West. The last chapter charts creative responses to political turmoil and social unrest in the early twentieth century, the new artistic societies and manifestos of the avant-garde and the dialogue between figurative painting and abstraction in the twilight of imperial rule.

Merridale Catherine
Lenin on the Train
8vo, pp.368.By 1917 the European war seemed to be endless. Both sides in the fighting looked to new weapons, tactics and ideas to break a stalemate that was itself destroying Europe. In the German government a small group of men had a brilliant idea: why not sow further confusion in an increasingly chaotic Russia by arranging for Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the most notorious of revolutionary extremists, currently safely bottled up in neutral Switzerland, to go home? Catherine Merridale's Lenin on the Train recreates Lenin's extraordinary journey from harmless exile in Zurich, across a Germany falling to pieces from the war's deprivations, and northwards to the edge of Lapland to his eventual ecstatic reception by the revolutionary crowds at Petrograd's Finland Station. With great skill and insight Merridale weaves the story of the train and its uniquely strange group of passengers with a gripping account of the now half-forgotten liberal Russian revolution and shows how these events intersected. She brilliantly uses a huge range of contemporary eyewitnesses, observing Lenin as he travelled back to a country he had not seen for many years. Many thought he was a mere 'useful idiot', others thought he would rapidly be imprisoned or killed, others that Lenin had in practice few followers and even less influence. They would all prove to be quite wrong.
