Garry Kasparov - How Life Imitates Chess; Making t he Right Moves, from the Board to the Boardroom (2 008).jpg

--Chessplayers who have a life outside chess often draw analogies between the game and life. And who better to do this than a man who reached the apex of the game and stayed there for two decades? Granted, his experience of *real life* is somewhat limited but he frequently utters insightful things. For example, on p.47, he cites Churchill on how courage holds everything together. How often have we seen otherwise talented players collapse in promising positions because they lacked the courage of their convictions? To give another example, he argues that players should seek the positions that play to their strengths -- how often have we seen strong players stumble because they got into the types of postions for which they were ill-suited? To give yet another example, how intuition doesn't operate in a vacuum but is a function of knowledge and experience. And to give yet one more, how each person has to arrive at a very personal understanding of the game (or life) for himself, and draw up a very personal plan of improvement. None of this is new to experienced chess players but it's still very interesting to see Kasparov give his own twist, and back it up with examples both personal and historical. In a nutshell, he argues that when humans play chess, the whole personality is involved: courage (which glues everything together), intuition, strategic drift, judgement, and calculation, and that to hone and integrate all these qualities -- into what we should call "character" -- requires introspection. I found the book a rewarding read.

Garry Kasparov - How Life Imitates Chess; Making t he Right Moves, from the Board to the Boardroom (2 008).pdf

--After holding the world chess title for longer than anyone in modern history, Garry Kasparov tries his hand at a book that strays from the chess board and ventures into the world beyond - business, political, military, etc. It is a worthy effort that not only does not embarrass Kasparov, it exhibits him as a person of rare intellectual range.
An even better - albeit shorter and pithier book - along the same lines is Bruce Pandolfini's "Every Move Must Have a Purpose: Strategies from Chess for Business and Life." Garry Kasparov cuts against the grain of many (most??) top-flight chess players dwelling in the insular and all-absorbing world of chess. Many top players seem one-dimensional, monochromatic; others seem to be uber-geeks, social cripples or wacked out psychos like the legendary nut case Bobby Fisher.
By contrast, Kasparov shows a rare intellectual range that transcends the chessboard and probes into the expanse of history and business. With his interest and activism in Russian politics, Kasparov has a vision of himself that goes beyond merely being the world chess champion for an unprecedented span of time. He offers insightful lessons from his chess career so that, even if you know nothing about chess, readers can benefit and profit from his book.
If you are a chess fan or player, there is also much here for enjoyment. Chief among these are the inside stories of key games from Kasparov's career, including his multiple titanic struggles with Anatoly Karpov.
Mercifully for the non-chess fan, the book is devoid of the algebraic gibberish (3. ... Nxc3+!!) that populates many chess books.
What with Kasparov's new career as a politician opposing Vladimir Putin, one hopes that he already has his life insurance in place and that his security retinue is equipped with Geiger counters and food-tasters. Actuarial tables may not be needed to assess shorter life expectancies for opponents of Putin.
This book by Garry Kasparov opens up his insights to the world beyond chess and exposes him as a thoughtful man whose talents go beyond the 64 black and white squares of the chessboard.

Stephen Fortescue - Russia's Oil Barons and Metal Magnates; Oligarchs and the State in Transition (2 007).jpg

Russian politics have been dominated over the last decade by the relationship between the oligarchs and the state. The existing literature is damning of the oligarchs, on two major grounds: they won their wealth and power corruptly, and rapaciously stripped the assets they had so dubiously obtained. This book contains a critical analysis of each of the claims made against them. In doing so it presents a detailed analysis of the place of the oligarchs in the Russian political economy.

Simon Dixon - Catherine the Great (2010).jpg

Catherine II of Russia (1729–96) might have been forgotten as a German-born Romanov brood mare but for her unscrupulous seizure of the Russian throne in 1762 and subsequent lengthy reign as the quintessential Enlightenment monarch—achievements that have fascinated posterity ever since. For her remarkable story, British historian Dixon, steeped in Catherine’s setting, positions his work between the scholarly and the salacious and accents courtier politics and the autocrat’s sensibilities. After recounting the palace coup that brought Catherine to power, Dixon develops her approach to wielding it through her interactions with builders, diplomats, generals, lackeys, and pen pals, such as Voltaire, on the receiving end of her reforming zeal. With the building boom in St. Petersburg, constitutional changes, and territorial expansion that accompanied her reign as backdrops to his portrait, Dixon sympathetically educes Catherine’s personal life; that is, the train of swains caught up in her—as one chapter title puts it—“search for emotional stability.” An appreciation of the person Catherine the Great that is full of insightful perceptions.

Dan Ungurianu - Plotting History, The Russian Hist orical Novel in the Imperial Age (2007).jpg

Balanced precariously between fact and fiction, the historical novel is often viewed with suspicion. Some have attacked it as a mongrel form, a “bastard son” born of “history’s flagrant adultery with imagination.” Yet it includes some of the most celebrated achievements of Russian literature, with Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy, and scores of other writers contributing to this tradition.
Dan Ungurianu’s Plotting History traces the development of the Russian historical novel from its inception in the romantic era to the emergence of Modernism on the eve of the Revolution. Organized historically and thematically, the study is focused on the cultural paradigms that shaped the evolution of the genre and are reflected in masterpieces such as The Captain’s Daughter and War and Peace. Ungurianu examines the variety of approaches by which Russian writers combined fact with fiction and explores the range of subjects that inspired the Russian historical imagination.

Michael Jenkins - Arakcheev; Grand Vizier of the R ussian Empire (1969).jpg

Count Alexey Andreyevich Arakcheyev or Arakcheev (October 4 [O.S. September 23] 1769 - May 3 [O.S. April 21] 1834) was a Russian general and statesman under the reign of Alexander I.

As he grew up, he was Peter Ivanovich Melissino's pupil and rapidly started teaching arithmetic and geometry. His military career started when he was sought after by Paul I as an artillery officer.

He served under Paul I and Alexander I as army leader and artillery inspector respectively. After the Tsar's death and Nicholas I's coronation, he lost all his powers and properties.

Vera Shevzov - Russian Orthodoxy on the Eve of Rev olution (2007).jpg

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Orthodox Christianity in Russia has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence. Many Russians are now looking to the history of their faith as they try to rebuild a lost way of life. Vera Shevzov has spent ten years researching Orthodoxy as it was lived in the years before the 1917 Revolution. In Russian Orthodoxy on the Eve of Revolution, she draws on a rich variety of previously untapped archival sources and published works unavailable in the West to reconstruct the religious world of laypeople. Shevzov traces the means by which men and women shaped their religious lives in an ecclesiastical system that was often dominated by bureaucrats and monastic bishops. She finds vivid displays of resistance to the official system and equally vivid affirmations of faith. focusing on various "centers" of religious life - the church temple, chapels, feasts, icons, and the Virgin Mary - she traces the rituals, beliefs, and communal dynamics that lent these centers meaning. Shevzov also presents the conflicting voices of ecclesiastical officials. She questions the notion that the only challenge to Orthodoxy at the end of the ancien regime came from outsiders such as Marxist revolutionaries, atheistic intellectuals, and urban factory workers. Instead, she shows that a different but equally great challenge emerged within the faith community itself. Indeed, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century is revealed as one of the most dynamic periods in the history of Russian Orthodoxy, characterized by debates analogous to the Reformation or the era of Vatican II. Russian Orthodoxy on the Eve of Revolution breaks new ground by giving voice to the previously ignored common people during this period immediately preceding one of the most important events of the twentieth century.

Hanna Kowalska - Kultura staroruska XI-XVI w, Trad ycja i zmiana (1998).jpg

Kultura staroruska zajmuje ważne miejsce w kulturze europejskiej. Wyrosła z bizantyjskiego prawosławia, przeżyła wpływy cywilizacji imperium mongolskiego, a później renesansowej kultury Zachodu. Dzięki temu zyskała niespotykane w innych częściach Europy oblicze. Prezentowana książka ukazuje płaszczyzny przenikania sfery religijnej i świeckiej, kościelnej i państwowej w kulturze ruskiej od XI do XVI wieku. Szczególną uwagę poświęca staroruskiej specyfice rozumienia prawa i etyki społecznej. Podkreśla wagę tego pierwiastka w zachowaniu tradycyjnych wartości kultury mimo zmian, jakie przyniosły dzieje, a wraz z nimi nieuniknione obce wpływy.

Gabriel A. Almond - Can Democracy Take Root in Pos t-Soviet Russia.jpg

Exploring the dynamics of state-society relations in post-Soviet Russia, noted scholars examine the nature of authority patterns within and between state and society. The authors explain congruence theory and employ it to interpret contemporary Russian politics. They assess the relative merits of state- and society-centered approaches to the study of democratic transitions and consider the value of survey research in identifying authority patterns; the nexus of mass and elite political attitudes; and the role of social, political, and economic institutions. Weighing the importance of political inclusion, the book evaluates the role of elites and the public in the transition and possible consolidation phases of Russian democratization. With its strong theoretical orientation, this pathbreaking volume raises new issues in the study of post-communist politics and, from the unifying perspective of congruence theory, provides a range of views on these hotly contested issues.

Igor V. Naumov - The History of Siberia (2006).jpg

Siberia has had an interesting history, quite distinct from that of Russia. Absolutely vast, containing many non-Russian nationalities, and increasingly important at present because of its huge energy reserves, Siberia was at one time part of the Mongol Empire, was settled relatively late by the Russians, and was for a long period a wild frontier zone, similar to the American West. Providing a comprehensive history of Siberia from the very earliest times to the present, this book covers every period of Siberia's history in an accessible way.

Ariel Cohen - Russian Imperialism, Development and Crisis (1996).jpg

The fall of the Soviet Union was one of the most dramatic events of this century. It was also one of the most surprising. Perhaps because many Sovietologists neglected its status as an empire, most Americans were taken completely by surprise when the USSR began its precipitous collapse under Mikhail Gorbachev. This book subjects the Soviet Union as an empire to systematic scrutiny, using tools and methods at the disposal of modern political science. Foreign policy specialists, defense experts, and Russian area analysts will find this book essential. The book is also recommended for undergraduate and graduate courses in Russian and Soviet history and the study of empires.

Roman Dyboski - Siedem lat w Rosji i na Syberii (1 922).jpg

Syberia – właśnie tam, począwszy od XVIII wieku, wysiedlano ludzi skazanych na katorgę, m.in. więźniów politycznych i wojskowych. Jednym z nich był polski profesor Roman Dyboski, autor książki „Siedem lat w Rosji i na Syberii”. Uznawany przez niektórych za prekursora językoznawstwa, dokonań Romana Jakobsona lub Noama Chomsky'ego, profesor Dyboski zajmował się twórczością Miltona, Szekspira, Byrona, Mereditha i Dickensa. Niestety ten wybitny polski naukowiec na skutek zawirowań historii poświęcić się musiał nie tylko działalności badawczej. W 1914, w wieku 31 lat, Dyboski został wcielony do armii austro-węgierskiej i w randze oficerskiej dowodził kompanią 16. pułku piechoty obrony krajowej, a pod koniec grudnia dostał się do niewoli rosyjskiej. Pięć lat później został oficerem w 5. Dywizji Strzelców Polskich na Syberii.

Książka profesora Dyboskiego to nie tylko interesujące wspomnienia z lat 1915-1921, ale i kawał doskonałej analizy historycznej dotyczącej dziejów Rosji. Autor wplata w nią przede wszystkim rozważania o tzw. rosyjskim duchu, mentalności rosyjskiej inteligencji, mieszczan i chłopów. Dyboski pisze o sztuce, religii, filozofii i literaturze. I tak dowiadujemy się, że wiara rosyjskiego chłopa jest martwą wiarą w literę cerkiewną, a inteligent rosyjski tylko do połowy duszy jest Hamletem: drugą połowę zżarła gangrena czynownicka. Dyboski porównuje mistycyzm chłopskiej mentalności religijnej z halucynacjami zataczającego się pijaka, a inteligencję z klasą społeczną pozbawioną zdolności do działania. I dodaje na koniec, że na takim gruncie nie może powstać żadna żywa religia i żadne zasady postępowania.

Robert K. Massie - Romanowowie, Ostatni Rozdział (1997).jpg

W lipcu 1991 roku, siedemdziesiąt trzy lata po brutalnym mordzie dokonanym przez bolszewików na rodzinie ostatniego cara Rosji, z płytkiego grobu w pobliżu Jekaterynburga na Syberii wydobyto dziewięć szkieletów. Czy były to szczątki Romanowów? A jeśli tak, dlaczego nie odnaleziono kości dwojga najmłodszych dzieci Mikołaja II i Aleksandry? I czy słynna Anna Anderson to wielka księżna Anastazja?

W książce, którą czyta się jak thriller, amerykański historyk odtwarza makabryczną scenę egzekucji, demaskuje rolę Lenina i jego późniejsze wysiłki zmierzające do ukrycia zbrodni. Przedstawia całą plejadę oszustów podszywających się pod członków carskiej rodziny, z najbardziej zagadkową Anną Anderson – kobietą, która od chwili pojawienia się w 1920 roku do śmierci w roku 1984 twierdziła, że jest najmłodszą córką Mikołaja II.

Dopiero jednak w postkomunistycznej Rosji podjęto próby dotarcia do prawdy. Badania rosyjskich, brytyjskich i amerykańskich specjalistów w dziedzinie medycyny sądowej, antropologów, a przede wszystkim genetyków doprowadziły do identyfikacji szczątków pogrzebanych na Syberii. I odsłoniły ostatni rozdział jednego z największych dramatów w historii i jedną z największych tajemnic XX wieku.
