Latvia: The Challenges of Change
ISBN: 9780415267304 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The past one hundred years have been a very trying time for Latvia, complete with success, tragedy, and still unrealized promise. Within the course of a generation, the country experienced revolutions, wars and independent statehood, and then the slide into authoritarianism. World War II brought new occupations. The tragedies were staggering: holocaust, executions, and an exodus of refugees. Soviet consolidation bred deportations, forced collectivization and partisan warfare. Almost fifty years later, Latvia regained its independence and emerged from decades of disastrous Soviet rule.

Local Communities and Post-Communist Transformation: Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia
ISBN: 9780415297189 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Post-communist transformation in the former Soviet bloc has had a profound effect, not just in the political and economic sphere, but on all aspects of life. Although a great deal has been written about transformation, much of it has been about transformation viewed from the top, and little has been written about how things have changed for ordinary people at the local level.
This book, based on extensive original research, examines the changes resulting from transformation at the local level in the form Czechoslovakia. It considers especially local democracy, social movements, and work...

Performing Russia: Folk Revival and Russian Identity
ISBN: 9780415326148 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines folk music and dance revival movements in Russia, exploring why this folk culture has come to represent Russia, how it has been approached and produced, and why memory and tradition, in these particular forms, have taken on particular significance in different periods. Above all it shows how folk "tradition" in Russia is an artificial cultural construct, which is periodically reinvented, and it demonstrates in particular how the "folk revival" has played a key role in strengthening Russian national consciousness in the post-Soviet period.

Poland is the only country in which popular protest and mass opposition, epitomized by the Solidarity movement, played a significant role in bringing down the communist regime.

Russia's Women: Accommodation, Resistance, Transformation
ISBN: 9780520070240 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By ignoring gender issues, historians have failed to understand how efforts to control women--and women's reactions to these efforts--have shaped political and social institutions and thus influenced the course of Russian and Soviet history. These original essays challenge a host of traditional assumptions by integrating women into the Russian past. Using recent advances in the study of gender, the family, class, and the status of women, the authors examine various roles of Russian women and offer a broad overview of a vibrant and growing field.

Russia's Last Capitalists: The Nepmen, 1921-1929
ISBN: 9780520071742 / Angielski / Miękka / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Hooliganism: Crime, Culture, and Power in St. Petersburg, 1900-1914volume 19
ISBN: 9780520080119 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this pioneering analysis of diffuse underclass anger that simmers in many societies, Joan Neuberger takes us to the streets of St. Petersburg in 1900-1914 to show us how the phenomenon labeled hooliganism came to symbolize all that was wrong with the modern city: increasing hostility between classes, society's failure to "civilize" the poor, the desperation of the destitute, and the proliferation of violence in public spaces.

And Now My Heart is Hardened: Abandoned Children in Soviet Russia, 1918-1930
ISBN: 9780520206946 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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.

Crime, Cultural Conflict, and Justice in Rural Russia, 1856-1914: Volume 31
ISBN: 9780520213418 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first to explore the largely unknown world of rural crime and justice in post-emancipation Imperial Russia. Drawing upon previously untapped provincial archives and a wealth of other neglected primary material, Stephen P. Frank offers a major reassessment of the interactions between peasantry and the state in the decades leading up to World War I. Viewing crime and punishment as contested metaphors about social order, his revisionist study documents the varied understandings of criminality and justice that underlay deep conflicts in Russian society, and it contrasts official...

War Land on the Eastern Front: Culture, National Identity, and German Occupation in World War I
ISBN: 9780521023900 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius presents a study of a hidden legacy of World War I: the experience of German soldiers on the Eastern front and the long-term effects of this encounter. Using hitherto neglected sources from both occupiers and occupied, official documents, propaganda, memoirs, and novels, he reveals how German views of the East changed during total war, and how these views affected the return of German armies under the Nazis. This persuasive and compelling study fills a yawning gap in the literature of the Great War.

Donald Filtzer's new book is the study of industry and labor during Late Stalinism, covering the entire post-war period from 1945 to Stalin's death.

Russia's Balkan Entanglements, 1806-1914
ISBN: 9780521522502 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the century between 1806 and 1914 tsarist Russia was drawn into five wars due to its deep involvement, based on treaty rights and established traditions, in Balkan affairs. This book examines the reason for the Russian involvement in the Balkan peninsula and attempts to explain at least partially the connection that drew the Russian government into entanglements that were not only dangerous to its great power interests, but that were difficult to control. The wars, waged at a high human and economic cost, limited the resources that could be spent on internal development and, in particular...

Terror and Democracy in Stalin's Russia is the first book devoted exclusively to popular participation in the Great Terror, a period in which millions of people were arrested, interrogated, shot, and sent to labor camps. In the unions and the factories, repression was accompanied by a mass campaign for democracy. Party leaders urged workers to criticize and remove corrupt and negligent officials.
