Identities and Politics During the Putin Presidency: The Foundations of Russia's Stability
ISBN: 9783838200156 / Angielski / Miękka / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How could an undemocratic regime manage to stabilise Russia? What is Putin's success formula? What are the symbolic and discursive underpinnings of Russia's new stability? Many outside observers of Russia regarded the authoritarian tendencies during the Putin presidency as a retreat from, or even the end of, democratization. Rather than attempting to explain why Russia did not follow the trajectory of democratic transformation, this book aims to attain an understanding of the stabilization process during Putin's tenure as president. Proceeding from the assumption that the stability created...

Folklore for Stalin: Russian Folklore and Pseudo-Folklore of the Stalin Era
ISBN: 9780873326681 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the First Congress of Soviet Writers in 1934, folklore, like literature, became an instrument of the political propagandist. Folklorists devoted considerable efforts to attending to what purported to be a rebirth of the Russian epic tradition, producing works of pseudofolklore that as often as not featured Joseph Stalin in the hero's role. Miller's account of this curious episode in the history of popular culture and totalitarian politics, and his synopses and translations of "classic" examples of folklore for Stalin, seek to serve as a resource not only for the study of contemporary...

The conduct of the foreign relations of the Russian state in its several contexts--Kiev Rus, Muscovy, Russian Empire, Provisional Government, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and Russian Federation--were unique in its common currents from the beginning to the present.

Russia and an infatuated West were determined to see in him the progressive... A chilling and unflinching portrait of one of the most fearsome figures in world politics.

Russia Under the Old Regime
ISBN: 9780140247688 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "For anyone who wants an insight into the nature of Russian society before the revolution, there is no doubt that Professor Pipes has written the book."--Lionel Kochan, Jewish Chronicle
This highly acclaimed study from Richard Pipes analyzes the evolution of the Russian state from the ninth century to the 1880s and its unique role in managing Russian society. The harsh geographical conditions and sheer size of the country prevented the creation of participatory government, and a "patrimonial" state emerged in which Russia was transformed into a gigantic royal domain. Richard... "For anyone who wants an insight into the nature of Russian society before the revolution, there is no doubt that Professor Pipes has written the book...
