And Now My Heart is Hardened: Abandoned Children in Soviet Russia, 1918-1930
ISBN: 9780520206946 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Warfare, epidemics, and famine left millions of Soviet children homeless during the 1920s. Many became beggars, prostitutes, and thieves, and were denizens of both secluded underworld haunts and bustling train stations. Alan Ball's study of these abandoned children examines their lives and the strategies the government used to remove them from the streets lest they threaten plans to mold a new socialist generation. The "rehabilitation" of these youths and the results years later are an important lesson in Soviet history.

Russia's Last Capitalists: The Nepmen, 1921-1929
ISBN: 9780520071742 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1921 Lenin surprised foreign observers and many in his own Party, by calling for the legalization of private trade and manufacturing. Within a matter of months, this New Economic Policy (NEP) spawned many thousands of private entrepreneurs, dubbed Nepmen. After delineating this political background, Alan Ball turns his attention to the Nepmen themselves, examining where they came from, how they fared in competition with the socialist sector of the economy, their importance in the Soviet economy, and the consequences of their "liquidation" at the end of the 1920s. Alan Ball's history...

Imagining America: Influence and Images in Twentieth-Century Russia
ISBN: 9780742527935 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Imagining America, historian Alan M. Ball explores American influence in two newborn Russian states: the young Soviet Union and the modern Russian Republic. Ball deftly illustrates how in each era Russians have approached the United States with a conflicting mix of ideas--as a land to admire from afar, to shun at all costs, to emulate as quickly as possible, or to surpass on the way to a superior society. Drawing on a wide variety of sources including contemporary journals, newspapers, films, and popular songs, Ball traces the shifting Russian perceptions of American cultural, social, and...
