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.

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)
1996Best.-Nr. 100145131Oxford University Press Inc 1996 312 pages 14 986x2 286x22 606cm. 1996. Cartonné jaquette. 312 pages. Cet ouvrage historique de Lynne Viola basé sur des archives soviétiques nouvellement déclassifiées (y compris les rapports de la police secrète OGPU) documente la vaste rébellion paysanne contre la collectivisation forcée sous Staline entre 1928 et 1932. Il démontre que cette résistance caractérisée par des stratégies culturelles et symboliques a constitué le conflit le plus violent et soutenu contre l'État soviétique après la guerre civile équivalant à une quasi-guerre civile entre l'État et la paysannerie
