Описание: Karl Marx famously wrote in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon that history repeats itself, "first as tragedy, then as farce." The Cold War waged between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 until the latter's dissolution in 1991 was a great tragedy, resulting in millions of civilian deaths in proxy wars, and a destructive arms race that diverted money from social spending and nearly led to nuclear annihilation. The New Cold War between the United States and Russia is playing out as farce - a dangerous one at that. The Russians Are Coming, Again is a red flag to restore our historical consciousness about U.S.-Russian relations, and how denying this consciousness is leading to a repetition of past follies.
Kuzmarov and Marciano's book is timely and trenchant. The authors argue that the Democrats' strategy, backed by the corporate media, of demonizing Russia and Putin in order to challenge Trump is not only dangerous, but also, based on the evidence so far, unjustified, misguided, and a major distraction. Grounding their argument in all-but-forgotten U.S.-Russian history, such as the 1918-20 Allied invasion of Soviet Russia, the book delivers a panoramic narrative of the First Cold War, showing it as an all-too-avoidable catastrophe run by the imperatives of class rule and political witch-hunts. The distortion of public memory surrounding the First Cold War has set the groundwork for the New Cold War, which the book explains is a key feature, skewing the nation's politics yet again. This is an important, necessary book, one that, by including accounts of the wisdom and courage of the First Cold War's victims and dissidents, will inspire a fresh generation of radicals in today's new, dangerously farcical times.

Автор: Voskressenski Alexei D Название: Is Non-Western Democracy Possible?: What Russians Think Of Asian And African Politics In A Comparative Perspective ISBN: 9813147377 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789813147379 Издательство: World Scientific Publishing Рейтинг: Цена: 258720.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book, with theoretical and practical analyses of comparative political systems of Eastern countries (Asia and Africa), their political process and political cultures, describes and analyses the influence of political culture on political process in the Eastern world. It gives readers an opportunity to make a comparative appraisal of maturity of civil society in these countries as well as their specifics in political interactions and internal political competition seen through the eyes of a group of distinguished Russian researchers. The book concentrates also on specifics of political-economic and political modernization in the East, and assesses the prospects of an emergence of a Western as well as a non-Western democracy in the framework of Eastern political transformations. It also explains why the one-dimensional spread of democracy -- completely negating or neglecting regional political-cultural specifics -- may lead to war among civilizations instead of the formation of a more just and fair system of democratic governance.

Автор: Schimpfossl Elisabeth Название: Rich Russians: From Oligarchs to Bourgeoisie ISBN: 0190677767 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780190677763 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 39060.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The lives of wealthy people have long held an allure to many, but the lives of wealthy Russians pose a particular fascination. Having achieved their riches over the course of a single generation, the top 0.1 percent of Russian society have become known for ostentatious lifestyles and tastes. Nevertheless, as Elisabeth Schimpfцssl shows in this book, their stories reveal a bourgeois existence that is distinct in its circumstances and self-definition, and far more complex than the caricatures suggest. Rich Russians takes a deep and unprecedented look at this group: their personal stories, trajectories, ideas about life, and how they see their role and position both on top of Russian society as well as globally. These people grew up and lived through a historically unique period of economic turmoil and social change following the collapse of the Soviet Union. But when taken in a wider historical context, their lives follow a familiar path, from new money to respectable money; parvenus becoming part of Society. Based on interviews with millionaires, billionaires, their spouses and children, Rich Russians concludes that, as a class, they have acquired all sorts of cultural and social resources which help consolidate their personal power. They have developed distinguished and refined tastes, rediscovered their family history, and begun actively engaging in philanthropy. Most importantly, they have worked out a narrative to justify why they deserve their elitist position in society--because of who they are and their superior qualities--and why they should be treated as equals by the West. This is a group whose social, cultural, and political influence is likely to outlast any regime change. As the first book to examine the transformation of Russia's former "robber barons" into a new social class, Rich Russians provides insight into how this nation's newly wealthy tick.

The book addresses generational differences, literary polemics and experimentation, the heritage of pre-October Russian modernism, and the fate of individual writers and critics.
Hugo H. Dorzel is misogynistic, xenophobic, foulmouthed, ill-tempered, oversexed, and a pathological liar. He is also the President of the United States--and the best friend the Russians have ever had in the White House. But Dorzel faces a serious reelection challenge and, despite unleashing a tsunami of disinformation about his opponent, the Russians seem unable to prevent his campaign from falling further and further behind. Cybersleuth Will Manningham discovers that someone is killing people by hacking into their pacemakers and other life-saving devices and suspects that the increasingly desperate Russians are preparing to assassinate Dorzel's rival. The president's voluptuous Russian paramour, Alexandra Parushnikova, could be the key to the mystery, but the FBI's hands are tied when they want to investigate her. Will Manningham has only a few weeks to unravel the deadly scheme before the decisive moment arrives.

Название: Battle for Sitka,1802 -1804, Alaskan Tlingits, Russians and Native Allies in Russian America ISBN: 1977225675 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781977225672 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 38210.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Battle for Sitka is an English translation of a Russian historian's and chief curator's well considered views on the 1802 Russian loss of their fort and allies in the Sitka area to the Tlingit Indians, with some allies, and the 1804 retaking of Sitka land by the Russians along with their mainly Alutiiq and Aleut allies. This book emphasizes the variety of armaments, battle clothing, Native outlooks, customs and personal stories. It debates the conflicting views on causes, outcomes and dates of the associated incidents. Several sly American and British trading ship, fur-and-armament-trade skippers and their crews also became quite involved in the events, and this book tries to determine which of these and others are the most accurate in their publications, handed-down stories and logs. The book's author also compares the views of other Russian, American and Tlingit historians in order to try to determine what really happened and when, in this long-running struggle for the Sitka area and trade. In addition this book shows that there was more than animosity occurring during this historic period. It was a period of intense intercontinental interaction.
