Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Galeotti sketches a bleak, but convincing picture of the man in the Kremlin and the political system that he dominates' - The Times Meet the world's most dangerous man. Who is the real Vladimir Putin? What does he want? And what will he do next? Despite the millions of words written on Putin's Russia, the West still fails to truly understand one of the world's most powerful politicians, whose influence spans the globe and whose networks of power reach into the very heart of our daily lives. In this essential primer, Professor Mark Galeotti uncovers the man behind the myth, addressing the key misperceptions of Putin and explaining how we can decipher his motivations and next moves. From Putin's early life in the KGB and his real relationship with the USA to his vision for the future of Russia - and the world - Galeotti draws on new Russian sources and explosive unpublished accounts to give unparalleled insight into the man at the heart of global politics.

Download or read book Russia's Rome written by Judith E. Kalb and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging study of empire, religious prophecy, and nationalism in literature, Russia’s Rome: Imperial Visions, Messianic Dreams, 1890–1940 provides the first examination of Russia’s self-identification with Rome during a period that encompassed the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 and the rise of the Soviet state. Analyzing Rome-related texts by six writers—Dmitrii Merezhkovskii, Valerii Briusov, Aleksandr Blok, Viacheslav Ivanov, Mikhail Kuzmin, and Mikhail Bulgakov—Judith E. Kalb argues that the myth of Russia as the “Third Rome” was resurrected to create a Rome-based discourse of Russian national identity that endured even as the empire of the tsars declined and fell and a new state replaced it. Russia generally finds itself beyond the purview of studies concerned with the ongoing potency of the classical world in modern society. Slavists, for their part, have only recently begun to note the influence of classical civilization not only during Russia’s neo-classical eighteenth century but also during its modernist period. With its interdisciplinary scope, Russia’s Rome fills a gap in both Russian studies and scholarship on the classical tradition, providing valuable material for scholars of Russian culture and history, classicists, and readers interested in the classical heritage.

Book excerpt: Stalin's reign of terror was not all doom and gloom, much of it was (meant to be) funny!

The diversity in literary styles, from the poignant short stories of Saki (H.H. Munro) to the grand, epic novels and plays that have defined the ethos of an era, demonstrates the rich tapestry of Russian and related cultures contributions to global literature. The collective works included stand as a testament to the depth and variety of human experience as depicted in literary form, with each piece selected for its timeless relevance and profound impact. The contributing authors and editors of this anthology, leaders amongst the pantheon of Russian literary figures, bring a breadth of cultural, historical, and political context to the fore. Such variety encapsulates pivotal moments in literary and world history, from the intricacies of Tsarist Russia to the turbulent shifts of the Soviet era and beyond.

Their lives and works serve as prisms through which the broader narratives of Russian and global history can be explored, enriching the anthology with layers of complexity and insight. This anthology is not just a collection of significant works; it is a gateway to exploring the soulful depths, philosophical ponderings, and the reckonings with the human condition that Russian literature so adeptly explores. It invites readers into a rich dialogue across time and space, encouraging a deep and nuanced understanding of the themes that pervade Russian literary history.

Its educational value and the breadth of insights it offers make it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts eager to explore the complexities of life and humanity through the lens of one of the worlds most prolific literary traditions.

Book excerpt: A fangirl tattoo artist finds herself falling head over heels for the client she never saw coming… Loud, brash, and tattooed Sophie Kincaid has always been the odd one out with her stylistic choices. She's as far from 'girlfriend-material' as can be, and she has no idea why that upon meeting calm, stoic and beautiful Tommy (aka Russia) Ivanov that she wants to hold that role in his life. It could be the fact that despite his impeccable style he doesn't look at her like she's some party girl only looking for a good time, or maybe because he seems genuinely interested about her work, about her as a person. Maybe it's the fact that Sophie always goes after what she wants, even if she can't have it. When Russia's past comes calling, Sophie has to wonder if the quiet, controlled and image-conscious man will fight to have her in his life. Can Sophie find love with a man who seems to be her total opposite?
