8vo, br. ed. 234pp. Cinque ritratti di rivoluzionarie socialiste che hanno cambiato la storia politica, sociale e culturale delle donne in Europa e nel mondo. L'aristocratica Aleksandra Kollontaj, protagonista della Rivoluzione bolscevica; la pedagogista radicale Nadezda Krupskaja, che fu moglie di Lenin; la passionale Inessa Armand, che fu stretta collaboratrice di Lenin e forse sua amante; l'infallibile cecchina antinazista Ljudmila Pavlicenko; la partigiana bulgara Elena Lagadinova, scienziata e leader del movimento globale delle donne: attraverso le vite di queste attiviste vissute a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, Kristen R. Ghodsee traccia un'affascinante storia alternativa del movimento femminista. Le Valchirie rosse furono promotrici di un femminismo originale, e in parte inesplorato, che si sviluppò nell'Europa dell'Est, distinguendosi, per modalità e fini, da quello occidentale. Convinte, come scrive Noemi Ghetti nella prefazione al volume, che «l'auspicato avvento dell'uomo nuovo non ci sarebbe mai stato senza la formazione di una nuova donna», queste rivoluzionarie ripensarono radicalmente il ruolo della donna nella famiglia e nella società, spesso scontrandosi con le resistenze dei compagni maschi, che consideravano la questione femminile un obiettivo secondario rispetto alla rivoluzione e all'edificazione dello Stato socialista.

8vo, hardcover in dj. 352pp. The Second World War was the defining moment in the history of the Soviet Union. With Stalin at the helm, it emerged victorious at a huge economic and human cost. But even before the fighting had ended, Stalin began to turn against the architects of success. In this original and comprehensive study, Alfred J. Rieber examines Stalin as a wartime leader, arguing that his policies were profoundly paradoxical. In preparation for the war, Stalin mobilized the whole of Soviet society in pursuit of his military goals and intensified the centralization of his power. Yet at the same time, his use of terror weakened the forces vital to the defense of the country. In his efforts to rebuild the country after the devastating losses and destruction, he suppressed groups that had contributed immeasurably to victory. His steady, ruthless leadership cultivated a legacy that was to burden the Soviet Union and Russia to the present day.

8vo, hardcover in dj, 304pp. In Stalinist Perpetrators on Trial, Lynne Viola, a professor of history at the University of Toronto, recounts statistics that still defy belief ... Viola writes [in] words with renewed significance in today's politically volatile, polarized climate. (LA Review of Books) Fascinating and compact ... Viola's pioneering study helps us understand Soviet perpetrators in the particular. But it also provides crucial lessons about authoritarianism in general and the violence of the security forces that protect it. (Norman M. Naimark, The Soviet and Post-Soviet Review) A research tour de force from one of the leading historians of Stalinism, shedding remarkable new light on what happened at the end of the Great Purges. A 'must read' for scholars and students of the Soviet period. (Sheila Fitzpatrick, author of Everyday Stalinism) This book is exceptional among the voluminous scholarship on Stalin's terror. Lynne Viola has written a fascinating and valuable work. The voices of those hangmen who ultimately became victims of the terror, as well as those they arrested, provide a stark picture of the Great Terror. The author explores the banality of evil in the Stalinist context: from the daily routine of torture and murder emerges the familiar figure of the self-righteous criminal. (Oleg V. Khlevniuk, author of Stalin: New Biography of a Dictator) Stalinist Perpetrators draws back the curtain on how the Stalinist Terror actually operated?not just how the state ordered it, but how it happened in provincial offices and prison cells. Her subject is the 'purge of the purgers,' the trial and often execution of the men responsible for the Terror. The nature of her source material?voluminous case files on these accused individuals?allows her to reconstruct the process and practices of the Stalinist Terror, including the beatings and torture, at the level of individuals, both in Kyiv and in more mundane provincial cities. (Peter Holquist, author of Making War, Forging Revolution: Russia's Continuum of Crisis, 1914-1921) The Stalinist purges of the late 1930s stand as one of the most horrific episodes of state terror in the twentieth century. Yet the perpetrators of those crimes have remained anonymous for many decades, protected mainly by the rules of historical access in Russia. Now, Lynne Viola, working in Ukrainian archives, provides the first remarkable study of the perpetrators. In this groundbreaking book, we see for the first time who these individuals were, their backgrounds, what brought them to their position of life and death decisions, what life was like for them and their families during such a time. Most important, Viola examines with keen and dispassionate acumen how Stalin's murderers justified the torture and killing of hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens. This is a disturbing book, and one that needs to be read. (David Shearer, author of Stalin and the Lubianka: A Documentary History of the Political Police and Security Organs in the Soviet Union, 1922-1953)

1983In 1948, as civil war ravaged Greece, children were abducted and sent to communist "camps" behind the Iron Curtain. Eleni Gatzoyiannis, 41, defied the traditions of her small village and the terror of the communist insurgents to arrange for the escape of her three daughters and her son, Nicola. For that act, she was imprisoned, tortured, and executed in cold blood. Nicholas Gage joined his father in Massachusetts at the age of nine and grew up to be a top investigative reporter for the New York Times. And finally he returned to Greece to uncover the story he cared about most -- the story of his mother's heroic life and tragic death. Book
