Peasant Russia Civil War: The Volga Countryside in Revolution 1917-1921 by: Figes, Orlando

Softcover. London, England, Phoenix Press, Reprint, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover. Why and how did the October 1917 revolution occur in Russia? Often overlooked as a crucial factor in the Bolsheviks' victory was the role of the peasantry. Here is an enthralling portrait of this poor but sizable population on the eve of the uprising; of the breakdown of state power in the countryside; and, most important, of the relationship between the serfs and the Bolsheviks during the civil war. An enlightening approach, illustrated with disturbing contemporary images. Record # 33978

Lenin's Private War: The Voyage of the Philosophy Steamer and the Exile of the Intelligentsia by: Chamberlain, Lesley

Contains bind-in with B&W photography. This book details how, in 1922, Lenin personally drew up a list of some 160 'undesirable' intellectuals - mostly philosophers, academics, scientists, and journalists - to be deported from the new Soviet State. 'We're going to cleanse Russia once and for all' he wrote to Stalin, whose job it was to oversee the deportation. Two ships sailed from Petrograd that autumn, taking Old Russia's eminent men and their families away to what would become permanent exile in Berlin, Prague and Paris. Lesley Chamberlain creates a rich portrait of this chilling historical moment, evoked with immediacy through the journals, letters, and memoirs of the exiles. Clean copy. Record # 33984

Stalin and the Bomb: The Soviet Union and Atomic Energy, 1939-1956 by: Holloway, David

Binding is solid. Contains bind-in with B&W photography. For 40 years the Soviet-American nuclear arms race dominated world politics, yet the Soviet nuclear establishment was shrouded in secrecy. Now that the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union has collapsed, it is possible to answer some questions. This magisterial history throws light on Soviet policy at the height of the Cold War, illuminates a central but hitherto secret element of the Stalinist system, and puts into perspective the tragic legacy of this program today-- environmental damage, a vast network of institutes and factories, and a huge stockpile of unwanted weapons.
