Book Synopsis Russian Hide-and-seek by : Iain Lauchlan
Download or read book Russian Hide-and-seek written by Iain Lauchlan and published by Finnish Literature Society. This book was released on 2002 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the operational center of Tsar Nicholas II's secret police (the Okhrana or Okhranka) during the peak of its activities and notoriety. It explores the gulf between the theory and practice of espionage, whereby attempts to create a rational bureaucratic surveillance machine clash with the unpredictable factor of human nature and its weaknesses. The author also examines the social and political friction aroused by the Okhrana during Imperial Russia's turbulent constitutional experiment. Rather than rehashing the old demonic image of a prototypical totalitarian secret police agency, Russian Hide-and-Seek places the Okhrana in its historical context: as an innovator among the Great Powers in the realms of political intelligence and counter-terrorism, striving to avert the precipitous descents into world war and revolution.
Download or read book Fontanka 16 written by Charles A. Ruud and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1999 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account describes the development of a secret police force that was rooted in tsarist Russia, but provided a model for Soviet police organizations. Ruud (history, U. of Western Ontario) and Stepanov (history, Russian Independent Institute of Social and Nationality Problems, Moscow) provide a comprehensive study of the tsarist secret police, the Okhranka, which was designed to catch terrorists before they assassinated Russia's leaders, during the period leading up to the Revolution of 1917. The book explores the Okhranka and its allied organization, the Gendarmes, through particular cases rather than in strictly institutional terms.

Download or read book The Ochrana written by A. T. Vassilyev and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1930, these are the memoirs of the last Tsarist chief of police, Okhrana, who was arrested by the revolutionaries, refused to be a Bolshevik spy, escaped to France, became a railway porter and died penniless. The book tells of the part he played in Rasputin’s death and his experiences during WWI and the Revolutions, and the comparison between the Okhrana and the Cheka, the Soviet secret police, in which he describes a kinder, gentler Okhrana. Richly illustrated throughout.

Book Synopsis Vladimir Burtsev and the Struggle for a Free Russia by : Robert Henderson
Download or read book Vladimir Burtsev and the Struggle for a Free Russia written by Robert Henderson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vladimir Burtsev and the Struggle for a Free Russia examines the life of the journalist, historian and revolutionary, Vladimir Burtsev. The book analyses his struggle to help liberate the Russian people from tsarist oppression in the latter half of the 19th century before going on to discuss his opposition to Bolshevism following the Russian Revolution of 1917. Robert Henderson traces Burtsev's political development during this time and explores his movements in Paris and London at different stages in an absorbing account of an extraordinary life. At all times Vladimir Burtsev and the Struggle for Free Russia sets Burtsev's life in the wider context of Russian and European history of the period. It uses Burtsev as a means to discuss topics such as European police collaboration, European prison systems, international diplomatic relations of the time and Russia's relationship with Europe specifically. Extensive original archival research and previously untranslated Russian source material is also incorporated throughout the text. This is an important study for all historians of modern Russia and the Russian Revolution.
Book Synopsis Popular Theater and Society in Tsarist Russia by : E. Anthony Swift
Download or read book Popular Theater and Society in Tsarist Russia written by E. Anthony Swift and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-12-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the fullest and most richly detailed study available of the popular theater that developed during the last decades of tsarist Russia. Swift brings alive the world of Ostrovsky, Stanislavsky, Chekhov, and Tolstoy as he examines the origins and significance of the new 'people's theaters' that were created for the lower classes in St. Petersburg and Moscow between 1861 and 1917. His extensively researched study, full of anecdotes from the theater world of the day, shows how these people's theaters became a major arena in which the cultural contests of late imperial Russia were played out and how they contributed to the emergence of an urban consumer culture during this period of rapid social and political change."--Cover leaf.

Download or read book The Vory written by Mark Galeotti and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English-language book to document the men who emerged from the Soviet-era gulags to become Russia’s international criminal class. Mark Galeotti is the go-to expert on organized crime in Russia, consulted by governments and police around the world. Now, Western readers can explore the fascinating history of the vory v zakone, a criminal organization that has survived and thrived through Stalinism, the Cold War, the Afghan War, and the end of the Soviet experiment. The vory—as the Russian mafia is also known—was born early in the twentieth century, largely in the Gulags and criminal camps, where they developed their unique culture. Identified by their signature tattoos, members abided by the thieves’ code, a strict system that forbade all paid employment and cooperation with law enforcement and the state. Based on two decades of on-the-ground research, Galeotti’s captivating study details the vory’s journey to power from their early days to their adaptation to modern-day Russia’s free-wheeling oligarchy and global opportunities beyond.
Book Synopsis Authority, Identity and the Social History of the Great War by : Frans Coetzee
Download or read book Authority, Identity and the Social History of the Great War written by Frans Coetzee and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1995 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unprecedented scope and intensity of the First World War has prompted an enormous body of retrospective scholarship. However, efforts to provide a coherent synthesis about the war's impact and significance have remained circumscribed, tending to focus either on the operational outlines of military strategy and tactics or on the cultural legacy of the conflict as transmitted bythe war's most articulate observers. This volume departs from traditional accounts on several scores: by exploring issues barely touched upon in previous works, by deviating from the widespread tendency to treat the experiences of front and homefront isolation, and by employing a thematic treatment that, by considering the construction of authority and identity between 1914 and 1918, illuminates the fundamental question of how individuals, whether in uniform or not, endured the war's intrusion into so many aspects of their public and private lives.
