Описание: The revolutionary movements in late tsarist Russia inspired a reaction by groups on the right. Although these groups were ostensibly defending the status quo, they were in fact, as this book argues, very radical in many ways. This book discusses these radical rightist groups, showing how they developed considerable popular appeal across the whole Russian Empire, securing support from a wide cross-section of society. Europe-Asia StudiesThe book convincingly argues that the Russian right was qualitatively different from traditional conservatism,and that it shared commonalities with other rightist groups in fin-de-si?cle Europe...The book is an important contribution to the history of the Russian right, a topic that has great relevanceto post-Soviet Russian society. The incorporation of new archival materials, mainly police reports, intothe research helps to clarify the intricate relationship between the radical right and autocracy.ALEXANDRA MEDZIBRODSZKY, PhD Candidate, Department of History, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary

"A crucially important book." - The Guardian
"One of Orwell's very best books and perhaps the best book that exists on the Spanish Civil War." - The New Yorker
Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's brutally honest account of his experience as a militiaman during the Spanish Civil War.
In the last days of 1936, Spain was five months into a bitter civil war, in which volunteers from many countries were helping the elected government of the Spanish Republic battle a military coup led by General Francisco Franco and backed by Hitler and Mussolini. Some foreigners flocking to Spain had come for another reason: the northeast part of the country, particularly Catalonia, was in the midst of the most far-reaching social revolution ever seen in Western Europe.
Workers had taken over factories and peasants the large estates; waiters were running restaurants and trolley drivers the transport systems. Municipal garbage trucks carried anarchist slogans. Hundreds of idealistic visitors wanted to take part in a revolution that came not, as in Stalin's Russia, from the top down, but from the bottom up.
In 1936, George Orwell, intending to report on the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, quickly found himself embroiled as a participant - as a member of the Partido Obrero de Unificaci n Marxista (POUM), or the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification - an independent leftist group with its own militia at the front. Fighting against the Fascists, Orwell described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches. As the politics became tangled, Orwell was pulled into a heartbreaking conflict between his own personal ideals and the complicated realities of political power struggles.
Orwell's experience was a great influence on his political development and his subsequent work, leading him to become a dystopian writer. "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it". - George Orwell
"A crucially important book. Without Homage to Catalonia] there would have been no Animal Farm and no Nineteen Eighty-Four - works of fiction that, like the reality that preceded them, focus on the terrifying consequences of authoritarianism for the individual mind." - The Guardian
"A wise book, one that once read will never be forgotten." - Chicago Sunday Tribune
"No one except George Orwell ... made the violence and self-dramatization of Spain so burning and terrible." - New York Times
