Kiedy w końcówce pierwszego kwartału 1917 roku rewolucja lutowa doprowadziła do utworzenia się dwuwładzy, mało który Rosjanin mógł przypuszczać, że już siedem miesięcy później kolejna rewolta spowoduje ponowną radykalną zmianę otaczającej obywateli rzeczywistości.

At a huge cost, the Red Army and the civilian population of Leningrad ultimately endured a bitter 900-day siege, struggling against constant bombing, shelling, and starvation.

The Soviet Union was one of the most secretive states that ever existed. Defended by a complex apparatus of rules and checks administered by the secret police, the Soviet state had seemingly unprecedented capabilities based on its near monopoly of productive capital, monolithic authority, and secretive decision making. But behind the scenes, Soviet secrecy was double-edged. Mark Harrison combines quantitative and qualitative evidence to evaluate the impact of secrecy on Soviet state capacity from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with US and Russia relations approaching a breaking point, this book provides a key to understanding how we got here. Specifically, Stephen P. Friot asks, how do Russians and Americans think about each other, and why do they see the world so differently? The answers, Friot suggests, lie in the historical events surrounding the Cold War and their divergent influence on politics and popular consciousness.

El filósofo Michel Eltchaninoff realiza un apasionante recorrido por la historia y las ideas de los cosmistas, un puñado de eruditos que con sus visionarias propuestas moldearon el siglo soviético: desde el leninismo, el estalinismo o la carrera espacial hasta las corrientes ultraconservadoras surgidas tras el hundimiento de la URSS y que sirven de guía a los dirigentes rusos actuales.

Bill Browder iniciou sua vida adulta como um rebelde de Wall Street cujos instintos o levaram para a Rússia logo após a queda da União Soviética. E foi ali que ele fez fortuna. Esta é a trajetória de um ativista por acidente. Ao longo do caminho, ele expôs casos chocantes de corrupção no país e por muito pouco não consegue escapar com vida.

In his time as a journalist, Zygar has interviewed President Zelensky and had access to many of the major players—from politicians to oligarchs.

Innokenty Gizel has never been to Moscow, but he wants to create the illusion that Kyiv shares a common history with the seat of the Orthodox Church. The story he comes up with - a fantasy - pleases Moscow's rulers so much that it will remain their official line all the way into the 21st century.

Как долго продолжалось татаро-монгольское иго? Кто был автором "Слова о полку Игореве"? Кто назвал князя Александра Невским, а князя Ярослава Мудрым? На эти и многие другие вопросы отвечает доктор исторических наук, главный на-учный сотрудник Института российской истории РАН Антон Горский. В книге "Русское Средневековье" автор восстанавливает историческую справед-ливость и развенчивает некоторые мифы так называемой альтернативной истории. Взгляды А. Горского в ряде случаев отличаются от официально признанных, поэтому погружение в средневековую Русь становится еще более интересным.
