Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée de "la" biographie politique de Lénine, par le maître d’œuvre du Livre noir du communisme, best-seller mondial. Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov, plus connu sous le nom de Lénine, a été l’un des personnages clés du XXe siècle. Celui qui, avant 1917, n’était connu que des habitués du mouvement révolutionnaire russe est soudain apparu en pleine lumière. Il s’empara avec une formidable audace du pouvoir en Russie, y créa le premier régime communiste qui allait essaimer dans une vingtaine de pays jusqu’en 1989-1991, ainsi qu’une Internationale dirigeant plus de 90 partis dans le monde.

At a time when many royal brides meekly submitted to disastrous marriages, Julie proved to be a woman ahead of her time, sacrificing her reputation and a life of luxury in exchange for the freedom to live as she wished.

Ein Kaleidoskop voller akkurater, hellsichtiger und ungeschönter Beobachtungen des Bestsellerautors zur politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung Russlands während der letzten 10 Jahre bis heute. Glukhovskys scharfer Blick auf die Ereignisse bietet eine erhellende Analyse der inneren und äußeren Verfasstheit des Landes und zeigt, warum Russland sehenden Auges in den Untergang steuert — und wie lange sich das schon abzeichnete. Ein klarer Blick auf die frühen Signale und den Sog des russischen Niedergangs und zugleich ein brillantes Panorama der Gegenwart von einem Meister der satirischen, scharfzüngigen Erzählkunst.

Based on a trove of new archival discoveries, The Last Tsar narrates how Nicholas’s resistance to reform doomed the monarchy. Encompassing the captivating personalities of the era—the bumbling Nicholas, his spiteful wife Alexandra, the family’s faith healer Rasputin—it untangles the dramatic struggle by Russia’s aristocratic, military, and legislative elite to reform the monarchy.

In Intent to Destroy, political scientist Eugene Finkel uncovers these deep roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Ukraine is a key borderland between Russia and the West, and, following the rise of Russian nationalism in the nineteenth century, dominating Ukraine became the cornerstone of Russian policy. Russia has long used genocidal tactics—killings, deportations, starvation, and cultural destruction—to successfully crush Ukrainian efforts to chart an independent path. As Finkel shows, today’s violence is simply a more extreme version of the Kremlin’s long-standing policy.

From the award-winning author of The Island of Extraordinary Captives, the riveting, untold true story of the botanists at the world’s first seed bank who were faced with an impossible choice during the Second World War’s Siege of Leningrad: eat the seeds to stave off starvation, or protect their life’s work to potentially end world hunger?

In July 2023, the Wagner Group assembled an armed convoy that included tanks and rocket launchers and set out on what seemed like a journey to take control of Moscow. The last person to attempt such a venture was Adolf Hitler. Wagner’s power began from patronage, then grew from international theft and extortion, until it was so great it exposed the weakness of Russia’s conventional military and became a threat to the Russian state, one that was not demonstrably eliminated until a private jet containing Wagner’s core commanders was blown up in midair.
