Book Synopsis Inside the Stalin Archives by : Jonathan Brent
Download or read book Inside the Stalin Archives written by Jonathan Brent and published by Atlas and Company. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many people, Russia remains as enigmatic today as it was during the Iron Curtain era. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country had an opportunity to face its tortured past. Here, Brent asks - why didn't this happen? To answer such a question, he draws on 15 years of unprecedented access to high level Soviet archives. He shows readers a Russia where, in 1992, women sold used toothbrushes on the street to survive, yet now the shops are filled with luxury goods. Brent encounters Stalin's spectre through these changes and takes readers deep inside his archives.

Book Synopsis Dimitrov and Stalin by : Georgi Dimitrov
Download or read book Dimitrov and Stalin written by Georgi Dimitrov and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bulgarian Georgi Dimitrov, Stalin's close confidant and trusted ally, served as secretary general of the Communist International (Comintern) from 1934 to its dissolution in 1943. In this collection of more than fifty top-secret letters, the real workings of the Comintern emerge clearly for the first time. Drawn from classified Soviet archives only recently opened to Russian and American scholars, these letters offer unique insights into Soviet foreign policy and Stalin's attitudes and intentions while the Great Terror of the 1930s was in progress and in the years leading up to the Second World War. Annotated by the editors to provide the historical context in which these letters were written, the collection is vivid and startlingly significant. The letters confirm the complete dependence of the Comintern on the Kremlin, while also exposing bureaucratic maneuvering, backbiting, and jockeying for influence. These messages cast much light on the Soviet confusion about policies toward foreign Communist parties, and they uncover the extent to which Stalin shaped the Comintern. Stalin's perspectives on America, French communism, and the Spanish Civil War are recorded, as are his differences with Mao Zedong and with Marshal Tito at important turning points. With the publication of these letters, the history of twentieth-century communism gains authentic evidence about a critical decade.

Download or read book The End of Tsarist Russia written by Dominic Lieven and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Economist Best Book of the Year A Financial Times Best Book of the Year Winner of the the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize Finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize An Amazon Best Book of the Month (History) One of the world’s leading scholars offers a fresh interpretation of the linked origins of World War I and the Russian Revolution "Lieven has a double gift: first, for harvesting details to convey the essence of an era and, second, for finding new, startling, and clarifying elements in familiar stories. This is history with a heartbeat, and it could not be more engrossing."—Foreign Affairs World War I and the Russian Revolution together shaped the twentieth century in profound ways. In The End of Tsarist Russia, acclaimed scholar Dominic Lieven connects for the first time the two events, providing both a history of the First World War’s origins from a Russian perspective and an international history of why the revolution happened. Based on exhaustive work in seven Russian archives as well as many non-Russian sources, Dominic Lieven’s work is about far more than just Russia. By placing the crisis of empire at its core, Lieven links World War I to the sweep of twentieth-century global history. He shows how contemporary hot issues such as the struggle for Ukraine were already crucial elements in the run-up to 1914. By incorporating into his book new approaches and comparisons, Lieven tells the story of war and revolution in a way that is truly original and thought-provoking.

Book Synopsis A Companion to the Russian Revolution by : Daniel Orlovsky
Download or read book A Companion to the Russian Revolution written by Daniel Orlovsky and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compendium of original essays and contemporary viewpoints on the 1917 Revolution The Russian revolution of 1917 reverberated throughout an empire that covered one-sixth of the world. It altered the geo-political landscape of not only Eurasia, but of the entire globe. The impact of this immense event is still felt in the present day. The historiography of the last two decades has challenged conceptions of the 1917 revolution as a monolithic entity— the causes and meanings of revolution are many, as is reflected in contemporary scholarship on the subject. A Companion to the Russian Revolution offers more than thirty original essays, written by a team of respected scholars and historians of 20th century Russian history. Presenting a wide range of contemporary perspectives, the Companion discusses topics including the dynamics of violence in war and revolution, Russian political parties, the transformation of the Orthodox church, Bolshevism, Liberalism, and more. Although primarily focused on 1917 itself, and the singular Revolutionary experience in that year, this book also explores time-periods such as the First Russian Revolution, early Soviet government, the Civil War period, and even into the 1920’s. Presents a wide range of original essays that discuss Brings together in-depth coverage of political history, party history, cultural history, and new social approaches Explores the long-range causes, influence on early Soviet culture, and global after-life of the Russian Revolution Offers broadly-conceived, contemporary views of the revolution largely based on the author’s original research Links Russian revolutions to Russian Civil Wars as concepts A Companion to the Russian Revolution is an important addition to modern scholarship on the subject, and a valuable resource for those interested in Russian, Late Imperial, or Soviet history as well as anyone interested in Revolution as a global phenomenon.
Book Synopsis A Spy in the Archives by : Sheila Fitzpatrick
Download or read book A Spy in the Archives written by Sheila Fitzpatrick and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968 historian Sheila Fitzpatrick was 'outed' by the Russian newspaper Sovetskaya Rossiya as all but a spy for Western intelligence. She was in Moscow at the time, working in Soviet archives for her doctoral thesis on AV Lunacharsky, the first Soviet Commissar of Enlightenment after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Despite KGB attention, and the impossibility of finding a suitable winter coat, Sheila felt more at ease in Moscow than in Britain—a feeling cemented by her friendships with Lunacharsky's daughter, Irina, and brother-in-law, Igor, a reform-minded old Bolshevik who became a surrogate father and a intellectual mentor. An affair with young Communist activist, Sasha, pulled her further into a world in which she already felt at home. For the Soviet authorities and archives, however, she would always be marked as a foreigner, and so potentially a spy. Punctuated by letters to her mother in Melbourne and her diary entries of the time, and borne along by Fitzpatrick's wry, insightful narrative, A Spy in the Archives captures the life and times of Cold War Russia.
Book Synopsis Guide to Materials for American History in Russian Archives (Classic Reprint) by : Frank A. Golder
Download or read book Guide to Materials for American History in Russian Archives (Classic Reprint) written by Frank A. Golder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Materials for American History in Russian Archives Permission to Use the Archives. A foreigner desiring to use the Official archives must secure authorization from the Russian Ministry Of Foreign Affairs through the representative Of his country residing in Petrograd. Each application is considered on its own merits, and although permission is usually granted to persons Of approved scholarship, it should not be assumed as a matter Of course. It may take some time before the application is acted upon and it would therefore be unwise to set out for Russia until there is definite assurance that access to the archives will be given. This permission is only for the Archive Of the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs at Petrograd. If, in addition, the scholar wishes to examine material on his subject found in other places the director of the above mentioned archive will arrange this. TO help the authorities in Russia, the applicant should state clearly and definitely the subject and period he wishes to investigate, the object in view, and when he plans to arrive. The application should be accompanied by credentials from men and institutions Of learning as to the character and standing Of the applicant. Facilities for Study. When the scholar has arrived on the field he will find the archivists very willing to co-operate with him. On the whole there is little red tape. Unfortunately the physical facilities are not everywhere adequate. The primary purpose Of the government archives is to preserve the documents for Official use. Scientific investigation is a secondary matter, especially so far as foreigners are concerned, for not many Of them come. It is therefore not surprising that no special arrangements are provided. In some cases there is no room for an extra table, and only by crowding is an additional place made. Time. The greatest drawback, however, is not the want of Space, for the Officers of the archive will Often inconvenience themselves to accommodate the stranger, but the lack Of time. Church and civil holidays follow each other in rapid succession, and make many days unavailable. Moreover, the archives are Open only for a few hours each day, never more than five, usually from 11 a. M. To 4 p. M., and sometimes only two, I p. M. To 3 p. M. This is the winter schedule. In summer it is worse, for then the Officers go away on their vacations and the hours Of work are reduced. The result is a peculiar situation: in the winter time the hours are longer, but there is little daylight; in summer the hours are short, though daylight lasts long. Were it not for the numerous holidays during the spring months that season would be the best for investigation.
