Of the many sects that broke from the official Russian Orthodox church in the eighteenth century, one was universally despised.

Slavophile Empire: Imperial Russia's Illiberal Path
ISBN: 9780801475924 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Twentieth-century Russia, in all its political incarnations, lacked the basic features of the Western liberal model: the rule of law, civil society, and an uncensored public sphere. In Slavophile Empire, the leading historian Laura Engelstein pays particular attention to the Slavophiles and their heirs, whose aversion to the secular individualism of the West and embrace of an idealized version of the native past established a pattern of thinking that had an enduring impact on Russian political life. Imperial Russia did not lack for partisans of Western-style liberalism, but...

Russia in Flames: War, Revolution, Civil War, 1914 - 1921
ISBN: 9780199794218 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 856 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Even a hundred years after the events that led to the emergence of the world's first self-proclaimed socialist state, debate continues over whether, as historian E. H. Carr put it decades ago, these earth-shaking days were a "landmark in the emancipation of mankind from past oppression" or "a crime and a disaster." Some things are clear. After the implosion of the three-hundred-year-old Romanov dynasty as a result of the First World War, Russia was in crisis-one interim government...

Self and Story in Russian History: Race and Sex in American Liberalism, 1930-1965
ISBN: 9780801486685 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Russians have often been characterized as people with souls rather than selves. Self and Story in Russian History challenges the portrayal of the Russian character as selfless, self-effacing, or self-torturing by exploring the texts through which Russians have defined themselves as private persons and shaped their relation to the cultural community. The stories of self under consideration here reflect the perspectives of men and women from the last two hundred years, ranging from westernized nobles to simple peasants, from such famous people as Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Akhmatova, and Nicholas II...
