Kotkinovy dějiny Magnitogorsku jsou monstrózní mikrohistorickou sondou do stalinské každodennosti. V polovině dvacátých let se kolem Magnetické hory rozkládala pustá step. O pár let později tu již stálo gigantické průmyslové centrum pulzující životem. Jak se to mohlo stát? Jací lidé se k tomuto místu vydali a budovali jej? A proč? A jak v krajině bičované mrazivými větry dokázali přežít a zabydlet se? Stephen Kotkin si všímá každičkého detailu životů magnitogorských obyvatel. Strašlivé zimy, vítr, nehygienické životní podmínky, tvrdá práce...

Magnetic Mountain: Stalinism as a Civilization
ISBN: 9780520208230 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 728 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study is the first of its kind: a street-level inside account of what Stalinism meant to the masses of ordinary people who lived it. Stephen Kotkin was the first American in 45 years to be allowed into Magnitogorsk, a city built in response to Stalin's decision to transform the predominantly agricultural nation into a "country of metal." With unique access to previously untapped archives and interviews, Kotkin forges a vivid and compelling account of the impact of industrialization on a single urban community.

ISBN: 9780520073548 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No one, not even Mikhail Gorbachev, anticipated what was in store when the Soviet Union embarked in the 1980s on a radical course of long-overdue structural reform. The consequences of that momentous decision, which set in motion a transformation eventually affecting the entire postwar world order, are here chronicled from inside a previously forbidden Soviet city, Magnitogorsk. Built under Stalin and championed by him as a showcase of socialism, the city remained closed to Western scrutiny until four years ago, when Stephen Kotkin became the first American to live there in nearly half a...

A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world The product of a decade of intrepid research, Stalin is a landmark achievement. Stephen Kotkin offers a biography that, at long last, is equal to this shrewd, sociopathic, charismatic dictator in all his dimensions. We see a man inclined to despotism who could be utterly charming; a pragmatic ideologue; a leader who obsessed over slights yet was a precocious geostrategic thinker--unique among Bolsheviks--and yet who made egregious strategic blunders. Through it all, we see Stalin's... A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world The product of a decade of intrepid research,... |

Uncivil Society: 1989 and the Implosion of the Communist Establishment
ISBN: 9780812966794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall fell. In one of modern history's most miraculous occurrences, communism imploded-and not with a bang, but with a whimper. Now two of the foremost scholars of East European and Soviet affairs, Stephen Kotkin and Jan T. Gross, drawing upon two decades of reflection, revisit this crash. In a crisp, concise, unsentimental narrative, they employ three case studies-East Germany, Romania, and Poland-to illuminate what led Communist regimes to surrender, or to be swept away in political bank runs. This is less a story of dissidents, so-called civil society, than of...

Mongolia in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780765605368 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The remote vastness of Mongolia has remained somewhat of a mystery to most Westerners - no less so in the 20th century. Homeland of the legendary conqueror Chingiz Khan, in modern times Mongolia itself has been the object of imperial rivalry. For most of the 20th century it was under Soviet domination. Mikhail Gorbachev began the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Mongolia in 1989, a process completed in 1992. By 1996 a coalition of opposition parties triumphed in national elections, and Mongolia launched itself on a new course. It is perhaps the most intriguing of the post-community...

ISBN: 9781107054172 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book takes stock of arguments about the historical legacies of communism that have become common within the study of Russia and East Europe more than two decades after communism's demise and elaborates an empirical approach to the study of historical legacies revolving around relationships and mechanisms rather than correlation and outward similarities. Eleven essays by a distinguished group of scholars assess whether post-communist developments in specific areas continue to be shaped by the experience of communism or, alternatively, by fundamental divergences produced before or after...
