Book Synopsis Pushkin's "Poltava" by : Virginia Marie Burns
Download or read book Pushkin's "Poltava" written by Virginia Marie Burns and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2005 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Pushkin's "Poltava" Virginia M. Burns provides a detailed, literary-structuralist analysis of Aleksandr Pushkin's narrative poem. By examining prior critical approaches to, and interpretations of, her subject, Burns challenges many traditionally accepted views of the poem - such as categorical condemnation of the rebellion of the Ukraine against the Russia of Peter the Great. In turn, and through studies of characterization and narrative and poetic techniques. Burns provides a new interpretation of the "Poltava" in which the poem's meaning may be derived primarily from the unique and unifying organization of its structure." --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis I Lived on the Battlefield of Poltava by : Alexei Parshchikov
Download or read book I Lived on the Battlefield of Poltava written by Alexei Parshchikov and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This prize-winning historical-lyrical poem of 1985, on the unequal power-relations between Russia and Ukraine, darkly resonates in 2023. Alexei Parshchikov's long historical poem, which dates 1985, is one of the major literary documents of the last years of the USSR. Alexandra Smith, in an article of 2006, has called it "perhaps the most important achievement of Russian post-perestroika poetry." Its significance is historical in its irony towards Peter the Great and Charles XII of Sweden in their 1709 battle at Poltava and towards the writer's own dual allegiance to Ukrainian soil and the Russian language. While all previous translations of parts of the poem are in free verse, translator Donald Wesling here carries over the rhyme and meter of the original whole poem. To aid the reader, this volume contains the Russian text, and also the translator's commentary and notes.

Book Synopsis The Battle That Shook Europe by : Peter Englund
Download or read book The Battle That Shook Europe written by Peter Englund and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This victory', exulted Peter the Great, 'has laid the final stone in the foundations of St Petersburg!' The Battle of Poltava, 1709, marks the birth of the Tsar's vast Russian Empire. In 1700, seeking to open Russian trade routes to the West, the Tsar combined with Denmark, Saxony and Poland to attack Swedish hegemony in the North. Against the odds, King Charles XII of Sweden subdued the hostile coalition for nearly a decade, but in 1708 took his fatal decision to march for Moscow. His defeat at Poltava, in the Ukraine, proved the turning-point of the Great Northern War, heralding the collapse of the Swedish Empire and the rise of Russia, the effects of which would be felt for almost three hundred years. Swedish historian Peter Englund's vivid account of the three violent days of battle is an internationally acclaimed classic of military history, admired by scholars and the lay reader alike.

Book Synopsis Forgotten Bastards of the Eastern Front by : Serhii Plokhy
Download or read book Forgotten Bastards of the Eastern Front written by Serhii Plokhy and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full story of the first and only time American and Soviets fought side-by-side in World War IIAt the conference held in Tehran November 1943, American officials proposed to their Soviet allies a new operation in the effort to defeat Nazi Germany. The Normandy Invasion was already in the works; what American officials were suggesting until then was a second air front: the US Air Force wouldestablish bases in Soviet-controlled territory. Though pushing relentlessly for the United States and Great Britain to do more to help the war effort - the Soviet body count was staggering - Stalin, recalling the presence of foreign troops during the Russian Revolution, balked. His concern was thatthe American presence would inflame regional and ideological differences. Eventually in early 1944, Stalin was persuaded to give in, and Operation Baseball and then Frantic were initiated. B-17 Superfortresses were flown from bases in Italy to the Poltova region (in what is today Ukraine).As Plokhy's fascinating and utterly original book shows, what happened on these airbases mirrors the fate of the Grand Alliance itself. While both sides were fighting for Germany's unconditional surrender, differences arose that no common purpose could overcome. Soviet secret policeman watched overthe Americans, shadowing every move, and eventually trying to prevent fraternization between American airmen and local women. A catastrophic air raid by the Germans revealed the limitations of Soviet air defenses. Relations soured and the operations went south. Based on previously inaccessiblearchives, Forgotten Bastards of the Eastern Front offers a bottom-up history of the Grand Alliance itself, showing how it first began to collapse on the airfields of World War II.

Book Synopsis Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire by : Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva
Download or read book Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire written by Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709), hetman of the Zaporozhian Host in what is now Ukraine, is a controversial figure, famous for abandoning his allegiance to Tsar Peter I and joining Charles XII's Swedish army during the Battle of Poltava. Although he is discussed in almost every survey and major book on Russian and Ukrainian history, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire is the first English-language biography of the hetman in sixty years. A translation and revision of Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva's 2007 Russian-language book, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire presents an updated perspective. This account is based on many new sources, including Mazepa's archive - thought lost for centuries before it was rediscovered by the author in 2004 - and post-Soviet Russian and Ukrainian historiography. Focusing on this fresh material, Tairova-Yakovleva delivers a more nuanced and balanced account of the polarizing figure who has been simultaneously demonized in Russia as a traitor and revered in Ukraine as the defender of independence. Chapters on economic reform, Mazepa's impact on the rise to power of Peter I, his cultural achievements, and the reasons he switched his allegiance from Peter to Charles integrate a larger array of issues and personalities than have previously been explored. Setting a standard for the next generation of historians, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire reveals an original picture of the Hetmanate during a moment of critical importance for the Russian Empire and Ukraine.

Book Synopsis I Lived on the Battlefield of Poltava by : Alekseĭ Parshchikov
Download or read book I Lived on the Battlefield of Poltava written by Alekseĭ Parshchikov and published by Cherry Orchard Books. This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aleksei Parshchikov (1954-2009) resembled the images we have of his favorite writer, Aleksandr Pushkin, not only physically in life but also in telling a story brilliantly in meter and rhyme. (This book keeps close to the meter and rhyme of the Russian original.) Here the story concerns Poltava, small city in south-east Ukraine, where in 1709 Peter the Great defeated the army of Charles XII of Sweden. Pushkin himself has a long poem with the same topic and characters, but Parshchikov updates to the mid-1980s when as a very young writer he won with it the Andrei Bely prize. The long, treacherous relations of Russia and Ukraine (U-Kraina, at-the-border, the name contains all the issues) is lifted and ironized in the relations between the two Russian poems. Here Peter and Charles and Cossack leader-and-turncoat Ivan Mazeppa (who sided with Sweden) richly deserve scorn-while the thousands of nameless soldiers who followed the dynasts, and died, are put back in history as heroic. Here the modern writer loves the land soaked with their blood. Parshchikov's logic leaps; his rhymes are often jokes; minutely he notices local places, plants, animals. The poem is fully assured in its speaking "I" and in its technical accomplishment. In the last days of the Soviet era, in the contested space between Russia and Ukraine, it is almost impossible to believe a work of such capaciousness was created"--

Book Synopsis The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19: Prelude to the Holocaust by : Nokhem Shtif
Download or read book The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19: Prelude to the Holocaust written by Nokhem Shtif and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1918 and 1921 an estimated 100,000 Jewish people were killed, maimed or tortured in pogroms in Ukraine. Hundreds of Jewish communities were burned to the ground and hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless and destitute, including orphaned children. A number of groups were responsible for these brutal attacks, including the Volunteer Army, a faction of the Russian White Army. The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19: Prelude to the Holocaust is a vivid and horrifying account of the atrocities committed by the Volunteer Army, written by Nokhem Shtif, an eminent Yiddish linguist and social activist who joined the relief efforts on behalf of the pogrom survivors in Kiev. Shtif’s testimony, published in 1923, was born from his encounters there and from the weighty archive of documentation amassed by the relief workers. This was one of the earliest efforts to systematically record human rights atrocities on a mass scale. Originally written in Yiddish and here skillfully translated and introduced by Maurice Wolfthal, The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19 brings to light a terrible and historically neglected series of persecutions that foreshadowed the Holocaust by twenty years. It is essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human rights, Jewish studies, Russian and Soviet studies, and Ukraine studies. Maurice Wolfthal has also written the award-winning translation of Bernard Weinstein’s The Jewish Unions in America, also published by Open Book Publishers.
