The Lost Politburo Transcripts: From Collective Rule to Stalin's Dictatorship
ISBN: 9780300209082 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this groundbreaking book, prominent Western and Russian scholars examine the "lost" transcripts of the Soviet Politburo, a set of verbatim accounts of meetings that took place from the 1920s to 1938 but remained hidden in secret archives until the late 1990s. Never intended for publication or wide distribution, these records (known as stenograms in Russia) reveal the actual process of decision making at the highest levels of the Soviet communist party. The transcripts also provide new, first-hand records of the rise of Stalin's dictatorship. The contributors to the volume explore the power...

Terror by Quota: State Security from Lenin to Stalin (an Archival Study)
ISBN: 9780300134254 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This original analysis of the workings of Soviet state security organs under Lenin and Stalin addresses a series of questions that have long resisted satisfactory answers. Why did political repression affect so many people, most of them ordinary citizens? Why did repression come in waves or cycles? Why were economic and petty crimes regarded as political crimes? What was the reason for relying on extra-judicial tribunals? And what motivated the extreme harshness of punishments, including the widespread use of the death penalty?
Through an approach that synthesizes history and... This original analysis of the workings of Soviet state security organs under Lenin and Stalin addresses a series of questions that have long resist... |

The Political Economy of Stalinism: Evidence from the Soviet Secret Archives
ISBN: 9780521533676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Using formerly secret Soviet state and Communist Party archives to describe the Soviet administrative command system, this study concludes that the system failed not because of Stalin and later leaders, but because of the economic system. It pinpoints the reasons for failure such as poor planning, unreliable supplies, preferential treatment of indigenous enterprises as well as the basic principal-agent conflict between planners and producers, which created a sixty-year reform stalemate. Although the command system was the most significant human experiment of the twentieth century, its basic...

Restructuring the Soviet Economic Bureaucracy
ISBN: 9780521032681 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Inefficient, overstaffed and indifferent to the public's needs, the Soviet economic bureaucracy operates today much as it did in the 1930s. In Restructuring the Soviet Economic Bureaucracy, Paul R. Gregory takes an inside look at how this system works and why it has traditionally been so resistant to change. Gregory's findings shed light on a bureaucracy that is widely considered the greatest threat to Gorbachev's efforts at perestroika, or restructuring. Restructuring the Soviet Economic Bureaucracy is based on Soviet and Western published accounts as well as interviews with former members...

Russian National Income, 1885-1913
ISBN: 9780521528481 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book presents estimates of the growth of the tsarist economy during the 'industrialization era', 1885 1913. The performance of the tsarist economy is compared with that of Soviet Russia during the plan era and of other industrialized countries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its main importance is to provide a frame of reference against which to contrast the Soviet performance. The author finds a stronger performance from the tsarist economy than the literature had led us to suspect, and he disputes several of the established views of economic historians...

Quine's Naturalism: Language, Theory and the Knowing Subject
ISBN: 9780826490995 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. W. V. Quine was the most important naturalistic philosopher of the twentieth century and a major impetus for the recent resurgence of the view that empirical science is our best avenue to knowledge. His views, however, have not been well understood. Critics charge that Quine's naturalized epistemology is circular and that it cannot be normative. Yet, such criticisms stem from a cluster of fundamental traditional assumptions regarding language, theory, and the knowing subject - the very presuppositions that Quine is at pains to reject. Through investigation of Quine's views regarding... W. V.
