Howe, Sonia E
A Thousand Years of Russian History
New York: Nova Science Publishers Inc 2005. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Very Good/No d/j as Published. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Type: Book The mighty Russian Empire was not built in a day - from a small beginning and by a number of different processes it has grown to its present dimensions. For centuries it grew by immigration and colonisation and it is only since the sixteenth century that expansion came by means of conquest. In the course of the ten and a half centuries of her existence Russia's political centre has shifted three times: from Kiev to Vladimir from Vladimir to Moscow and from Moscow to St Petersburg. Each of these four names represents distinct phases of development and periods with very definite characteristics. This development has not been one of continuous growth: it was interrupted by a great calamity the Mongol invasion which darkened the thirteenth century and from which it has taken centuries to recover. Again the Russian nation is not a homogeneous whole a nation of one blood; nor are her peoples all on the same level of culture. Unless these facts are grasped and the causes underlying the complexity of Russian history come to be understood there can be no exact comprehension or balanced judgement of her problems and difficulties and the part she has to play among the nations. The aim in "A Thousand Years of Russian History" is to convey general impressions of the various stages passed through by Russia in the course of her evolution and to give sketches of the lives of those of her rulers who have stamped their era with the mark of their personality. This book is a completely retyped and indexed version of the 1918 publication with the same name. 266pp. Nova Science Publishers Inc hardcover

Bar Noi Uri
The Cold War and Soviet Mistrust of Churchill's Pursuit of Detente 1951-1955
Brighton: Sussex Academic Press 2008. Cloth. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book The release of previously unavailable Soviet archives has allowed a re-examination of Anglo-Soviet relations during Churchill's peacetime administration with special emphasis on the Kremlin's motivation for resisting the Prime Minister's attempts to end the Cold War. Throughout 1951-55 the time was not yet ripe for detente: the USSR and Western powers were less than willing to accommodate each other. Instead they engaged in the consolidation of their own blocs and the build-up of their defensive potential. With Winston Churchill becoming the most outspoken advocate of detente the Kremlin greeted the return to power of the Conservative Party under his leadership with a general mistrust. After Josef Stalin's death in March 1953 detente remained a distant reality. The collective leadership was keen to reduce international tensions without modifying its predecessor's foreign policy or abandoning Soviet strongholds of central and eastern Europe. As part of its peace offensive the Kremlin was prepared to improve the atmosphere in relations with Britain and increase the volume of Anglo-Soviet trade. However the British remained mistrustful of the intentions of Stalin's successors and refrained from initiatives leading to a relaxation of export controls independent from American embargo policy. The author demonstrates that Stalin's heirs suspected that Churchill's pursuit of detente was designed to secure far-reaching concessions. Moscow also felt that as a junior partner acting in full dependence on and in co-operation with US policy Churchill was in no position to conciliate between the USSR and the USA. Engaged in a domestic struggle for power members of the collective leadership were reluctant to allow their opponent Georgi Malenkov to negotiate single-handedly with western statesmen. It was only after Nikita Khrushchev's ascendance to power and Churchill's resignation from office that the Kremlin was prepared to participate in summit talks with the western heads of government. 237pp. Sussex Academic Press hardcover

Zhivov Victor
Language and Culture in Eighteenth Century Russia
Brighton MA USA: Academic Studies Press 2009. Cloth. Like New/Like New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book Victor Zhivov's magisterial "Language and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Russia" tells the story of the creation of a new vernacular literary language in modern Russia an achievement arguably on a par with the nation's extraordinary military successes territorial expansion development of the arts and formation of a modern empire. The language served as the primary vehicle for Russia's modernization and for its entry into the Western European cultural sphere and Zhivov demonstrates that the unusually intense debates over it down to violent disagreements over particular grammatical endings have profound implications for understanding the basic social political and cultural dynamics of the era. "Language and Culture" analyzes the European theories concerning modern literary languages that were transplanted into Russia and demonstrates the ways in which they were creatively transformed when adapted to the complex legacy of medieval and seventeenth-century literary culture. Zhivov traces this creative adaptation from the "hybrid Slavonic" of the late seventeenth century; through Peter the Great's demand for a new Russian vernacular literary language; to the "Slaveno-Russian" linguistic and cultural synthesis of mid-century and the beginnings of a Russian literary tradition; to the early nineteenth-century debates between "archaists and innovators"; and fi nally to the subsequent decoupling of secular and religious language and culture that in his view represented the last echo of eighteenth-century debates. Language and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Russia fundamentally revises much of the received wisdom concerning the development of the literary language and offers fundamentally new perspectives on the genesis and development of modern Russian language literature and culture. 506pp. N.B. Head and tail of spine and D/J spine very slightly bumped. Academic Studies Press hardcover
