Ufa is going crazy. The new capital of the legitimate government of Russia, once a trading post in the far east, is now a fast-growing boom town. Into this maelstrom come peddlers and exotic dancers, criminals and craftsmen, nobles and assassins. Crime is running rampant and the city guards that passes for policemen don't have a clue how to handle it-and wouldn't know a clue if they stumbled right over it. They can manage to walk a beat, at least in broad daylight. But solve a crime?
Not a chance. And Czar Michael Romanov and his officials aren't any help, since they're pre-occupied with building a nation out of spit and bailing wire.
But the bargirl who was murdered had friends who cared. And thosefriends call in Vasilii Lyapuno, an engineer working at the newly-founded Dacha in Ufa and loves up-timer murder mysteries.
Can Vasilii track down the killer? Luckily for him, he has the assistance of another bargirl named Miroslava, who has a unique way of seeing the world. Together they might figure out who did what to whom and who was responsible for the crime.
Crimes, rather. Murder starts adding up.

Описание: Life for the Russian peasant under Czar Nicholas in 1910-and especially the czarina-was not pleasant. Any show of dissent was met quickly with violent consequences from the Cossacks, the czar's not-so-secret police. Kostik Kopituk, a native of a village near Pinsk, Byelorussia, became a bricklayer apprentice in one of the czar's construction companies at age eleven. Over the next four years, he began to consider going to America at the suggestion of his schoolmate friend, Itzahkh Cohen. Kostik knew that if the Cossacks caught him trying to escape, he'd likely be beheaded, but with his friend, he decided to leave behind his family, country, and culture. Kostik and Itzahkh somehow made it to Ellis Island, New York, where they split up-never to see each other again. From Ellis Island, Kostik continued on to his destination in New Jersey. He was by himself in America, having just reached the age of sixteen. Discover what it means to be an immigrant trying to escape a repressive regime to achieve the American dream in Kostik.

Rozell Название: The President`s Czars: Undermining Congress and the Constitution ISBN: 070061835X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780700618354 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 44350.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Faced with crises that would challenge any president, Barack Obama authorized "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg to oversee the $20 billion fund for victims of the BP oil spill and to establish--and enforce--executive pay guidelines for companies that received $700 billion in federal bailout money. Feinberg's office comes with vastly expansive policy powers along with seemingly deep pockets; yet his position does not formally fit anywhere within our government's constitutional framework. The very word "czar" seems inappropriate in a constitutional republic, but it has come to describe any executive branch official who has significant authority over a policy area, works independently of agency or Department heads, and is not confirmed by the Senate--or subject to congressional oversight. Mitchel Sollenberger and Mark Rozell provide the first comprehensive overview of presidential czars, tracing the history of the position from its origins through its initial expansion under FDR and its dramatic growth during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The President's Czars shows how, under pressure to act on the policy front, modern presidents have increasingly turned to these appointed officials, even though by doing so they violate the Appointments Clause and can also run into conflict with the nondelegation doctrine and the principle that a president cannot unilaterally establish offices without legislative support. Further, Sollenberger and Rozell contend that czars not only are ill-conceived but also disrupt a governing system based on democratic accountability. A sobering overview solidly grounded in public law analysis, this study serves as a counter-argument to those who would embrace an excessively powerful presidency, one with relatively limited constraints. Among other things, it proposes the restoration of accountability-starting with significant changes to Title 3 of the U.S. Code, which authorizes the president to appoint White House employees "without regard to any other provision of law." Ultimately, the authors argue that czars have generally not done a good job of making the executive branch bureaucracy more effective and efficient. Whatever utility presidents may see in appointing czars, Sollenberger and Rozell make a strong case that the overall damage to our constitutional system is great--and that this runaway practice has to stop.

Автор: Gilliard Pierre Название: Thirteen Years at the Russian Court - A Personal Record of the Last Years and Death of the Czar Nicholas II. and His Family ISBN: 1528704436 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781528704434 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 29410.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: First published in 1921, this book contains the memoirs of Pierre Gilliard. Pierre Gilliard (1879 - 1962) was a Swiss author and academic famous for being the French language tutor of Russian Emperor Nicholas II's children between 1905 and 1918. Within these pages, Gilliard describes Tsarina Alexandra's sadness relating to her son's haemophilia and her belief in Grigori Rasputin's ability to help the boy. This volume constitutes a must-read for those with an interest in Russian history, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "My First Lessons at the Court (Autumn, 1905)", "Alexis Nicolaievitch-Visits to the Crimea", "I Begin my Duties as Tutor-The Czarevitch's Illness", "The Czarina, Alexandra Feodorovna", "Rasputin", "Life at the Tsarskoie-Selo-My Pupils (The Winter of 1913-14)", "Journeys to the Crimea and Rumania", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
