This book examines Mikhail M. Speranskii's attempt to codify Russian law in the 1820 and 1830s -- that was the last major bureaucratic project of this important Russian statesman and an aspect of his long career that has been largely ignored by historians. Based on material from the Manuscript Division of the Russian National Library, the Russian State Historical Archives, and the Archives of the Academy of Sciences (all in St. Petersburg, Russia) a complete picture emerges of the codification efforts.

By 1989 it was obvious that the majority of Hungary's population wanted fundamental political, economic, and social changes. The situation resembled what prevailed in 1956, when massive Soviet aggression suppressed a newborn Hungarian democracy. This time it was totally up to the Hungarians. Essays by leading Hungarian and Western scholars expose the political, economic, moral, legal, judicial, and cultural components of the peaceful transition that over a ten-year period led to democracy in Hungary.

Analysis of public opinion leading up to and including World War II inevitably raises the issue of responsibility for the Holocaust of Hungarian Jewry. Reviewing both archival material and contemporary sources, this book asks how extremist publications, full of hatred against Jews, affected contemporaries. Why was it that Hungarian society ignored the dangers threatening Jews in Europe, including Hungary? Janos Pelle looks for answers in contemporary and modern literature in the psychology and contrasts theories in operation at those tragic times with current information.

Odessa had the largest concentration of urban Greeks in the Russian empire, and the Greeks enjoyed economic and social prestige. While the stated goals of the GBAO were charitable, many of the organization's activities were nevertheless political. Because of the wealth and power of the GBAO, and its failure to openly antagonize the tsarist regime, the GBAO was able to avoid the most onerous provisions of the russification laws being pursuing...

An agreement reached between these two powers in 1939 caused Romania to lose territories to her neighbors in the east, west and south; their disagreement a year later, together with the German promise of recovering such lost territories in the east and west compelled Romania to join the Axis powers in their...
