Download or read book Poland, Soviet Union, Russia written by Przemysław Adamczewski and published by The Institute of Political Studies Polish Academy of Sciences. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an overview of many publications by employees of the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw in the field of Eastern studies. We have selected texts on the recent history of Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and communist rule, as well as contemporary Russia and Polish-Russian relations. By making these available to English-speaking readers, on the one hand, we want to present a small part, due to limited space, of the Eastern studies conducted by the Institute and, on the other, pay tribute to their distinguished representative, Richard Pipes. In 2019, according to the last will of this historian, scholar and sovietologist, who died on 18 May 2018, the Institute received his book collection of over three and a half thousand items, mainly concerning Russia and the Soviet Union. These are works of high scientific rank that the scholar collected for over half a century. Acquiring the book collection was the first step towards establishing the Professor Richard Pipes Laboratory. This was possible thanks to funding obtained by the Institute at the end of 2019 from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as part of the Dialogue programme.

Book Synopsis White Spots—Black Spots by : Adam Daniel Rotfeld
Download or read book White Spots—Black Spots written by Adam Daniel Rotfeld and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poland and Russia have a long relationship that encompasses centuries of mutual antagonism, war, and conquest. The twentieth century has been particularly intense, including world wars, revolution, massacres, national independence, and decades of communist rule—for both countries. Since the collapse of communism, historians in both countries have struggled to come to grips with this difficult legacy. This pioneering study, prepared by the semi-official Polish-Russian Group on Difficult Matters, is a comprehensive effort to document and fully disclose the major conflicts and interrelations between the two nations from 1918 to 2008, events that have often been avoided or presented with a strong political bias. This is the English translation of this major study, which has received acclaim for its Polish and Russian editions. The chapters offer parallel histories by prominent Polish and Russian scholars who recount each country’s version of the event in question. Among the topics discussed are the 1920 Polish-Russian war, the origins of World War II and the notorious Hitler-Stalin pact, the infamously shrouded Katyn massacre, the communization of Poland, Cold War relations, the Solidarity movement and martial law, and the renewed relations of contemporary Poland and Russia.
Book Synopsis Jews in Eastern Poland and the USSR, 1939-46 by : Norman Davies
Download or read book Jews in Eastern Poland and the USSR, 1939-46 written by Norman Davies and published by Springer. This book was released on 1991-12-02 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to deal with the impact on the Jews of the area of the sovietization of Eastern Poland. Polish resentment at alleged Jewish collaboration with the Soviets between 1939 and 1941 affected the development of Polish-Jewish relations under Nazi rule and in the USSR. The role of these conflicts both in the Anders army and in the Communist-led Kosciuszko division and 1st Polish Army is investigated, as well as the part played by Jews in the communist-dominated regime in Poland after 1944.
Book Synopsis Imperial Russian Rule in the Kingdom of Poland, 1864-1915 by : Malte Rolf
Download or read book Imperial Russian Rule in the Kingdom of Poland, 1864-1915 written by Malte Rolf and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After crushing the Polish Uprising in 1863–1864, Russia established a new system of administration and control. Imperial Russian Rule in the Kingdom of Poland, 1864–1915 investigates in detail the imperial bureaucracy’s highly variable relationship with Polish society over the next half century. It portrays the personnel and policies of Russian domination and describes the numerous layers of conflict and cooperation between the Tsarist officialdom and the local population. Presenting case studies of both modes of conflict and cooperation, Malte Rolf replaces the old, unambiguous “freedom-loving Poles vs. oppressive Russians” narrative with a more nuanced account and does justice to the complexity and diversity of encounters among Poles, Jews, and Russians in this contested geopolitical space. At the same time, he highlights the process of “provincializing the center,” the process by which the erosion of imperial rule in the Polish Kingdom facilitated the demise of the Romanov dynasty itself.
Book Synopsis Spring Will Be Ours by : Andrzej Paczkowski
Download or read book Spring Will Be Ours written by Andrzej Paczkowski and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spring Will Be Ours focuses on the turbulent half century from the outbreak of World War II in 1939, which started the chain of events that would lead to the communist takeover of Poland, to 1989, when futile attempts to reform the communist system gave way to its total transformation. Andrzej Paczkowski shows how the communists captured and consolidated power, describes their use of terror and propaganda, and illuminates the changes that took place within the governing elite. He also documents the political opposition to the regime - both inside Poland and abroad - that resulted in upheavals in 1956, 1968, 1970, 1976, and 1980. His narrative makes evident the pressures that the elite felt from above, from Moscow, and from below, from the population and from within the party. The history of Poland and the Poles is of special interest because on numerous occasions in the twentieth century this relatively small country influenced developments on a global scale.

Book Synopsis Poland Between East and West by : Josef Korbel
Download or read book Poland Between East and West written by Josef Korbel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Russia and Germany were far apart in their principal goals, their negative attitude toward the Europe of Versailles brought these two "outcasts" together. Poland, a “child” of the Versailles Peace Treaty, was a bar to the Soviet drive toward a revisionist policy. Therefore, in an atmosphere of mutual distrust and deceit, Russia and Germany entered into an intricate series of negotiations designed to destroy Poland either by military action or by diplomatic pressure. Josef Korbel traces the strange course of these negotiations, basing his work on original documents such as the files of the German Foreign Office, the personal papers of General von Seeckt, documents of the Soviet government, the Supreme Soviet, and the Third International, and on original Polish sources. Originally published in 1963. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Download or read book Rewolucja written by Robert E. Blobaum and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revolution of 1905 in the Russian-ruled Kingdom of Poland marked the consolidation of major new influences on the political scene. As he examines the emergence of a mass political culture in Poland, Robert E. Blobaum offers the first history in any Western language of this watershed period. Drawing on extensive archival research to explore the history of Poland's revolutionary upheavals, Blobaum departs from traditional interpretations of these events as peripheral to an essentially Russian movement that reached a climax in the Russian Revolution of 1917. He demonstrates that, although Polish independence was not formally recognized until after World War I, the social and political conditions necessary for nationhood were established in the years around 1905.

Book Synopsis Deportation and Exile by : Keith Sword
Download or read book Deportation and Exile written by Keith Sword and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1994 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to chart the ebb-and-flow of population movement that resulted from two periods of Soviet occupation of Polish territory during the Second World War: between 1939 and 1941 and again in 1944-45. Much of this migration was involuntary. Polish citizens were uprooted and driven, buffeted by forces seemingly beyond their control. In reality, they were at the mercy of decisions taken by politicians and officials hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Between 1939 and 1941 Stalin removed an estimated 1.5 million people from the areas of eastern Poland, annexed as a result of the 1939 Nazi-Soviet Pact. Chapters in the book deal with the process of mass deportation, the unique 'amnesty' extended to captive Poles following the German attack of June 1941, and the circumstances surrounding the controversial evacuation of General Anders' forces to Persia in 1942. Less well-known to a non-Polish readership is the role played by the Polish communists in Moscow following the 1943 break in Polish-Soviet relations, the renewed deportations of the Polish underground army which took place in 1944-45, and the repatriation scheme under which 1.25 million Poles moved west during the 1944-48 period.

Download or read book Rising Subjects written by Wiktor Marzec and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising Subjects explores the change of the public sphere in Russian Poland during the 1905 Revolution. The 1905 Revolution was one of the few bottom-up political transformations and general democratizations in Polish history. It was a popular rebellion fostering political participation of the working class. The infringement of previously carefully guarded limits of the public sphere triggered a powerful conservative reaction among the commercial and landed elites, and frightened the intelligentsia. Polish nationalists promised to eliminate the revolutionary “anarchy” and gave meaning to the sense of disappointment after the revolution. This study considers the 1905 Revolution as a tipping point for the ongoing developments of the public sphere. It addresses the question of Polish socialism, nationalism, and antisemitism. It demonstrates the difficulties in using the class cleavage for democratic politics in a conflict-ridden, multiethnic polity striving for an irredentist self-assertion against the imperial power.
