A. F. Zdziarski - Guide to the Great Siberian Rail way (1900).jpg

The 8,000-kilometer Trans-Siberian Railway linking Ekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains with the Pacific port of Vladivostok is the world’s longest railroad. Construction began in 1891 and was completed in 1916. By 1900, much of the line was finished and open for traffic. In that year, the Russian Ministry of Ways of Communication issued, in identical English and Russian editions, this illustrated guide to the railway. It includes a history of Siberia, an account of the construction, and a detailed listing of the towns and cities along the route.

Hardback, professionally and handsomely rebound in half-leather, burgundy leather spine and cover corners over marbled paper-covered boards; spine has five raised bands, gold lettering and gold stamped decorations; new marbled-paper endpapers. Binding is like new; top page block edge gilt, other edges deckle; deckle edges a little darkened, as are extreme page margins; a few marginal finger smudges, and a few pages have been opened a little clumsily, not affecting the text or maps. All called-for folding railroad maps, folding town plans, and phototypes (full-page B & W plates) are present, along with a chromolithograph depicting the tea trade. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 520 pages

With 2 phototypes, 360 photo-gravures, 4 maps of Siberia and 3 plans of towns.

Andrey Vavilov - The Russian Public Debt and Finan cial Meltdowns (2010).jpg

"Andrey Vavilov has done a splendid job of integrating modern macroeconomic theory with personal experience. Stunningly coherent, comprehensive and lively. It should be read by anyone who is serious about studying Russian economy." -- Oleg Viyugin, Chairman of the board of MDM Bank, former Head of the Federal Financial Markets Service (Russian Federation)

"Sovereign debt management has been a central issue in Russia's economic transformation. Andrei Vavilov provides an excellent and comprehensive account of the causes and implications of the evolution of Russian debt combining personal experience from one of the key players in managing Russian debt in 1990s with facts, data, and insights from macroeconomic theory. A must read for all interested in Russian economy." -- Sergei Guriev, Morgan Stanley Professor of Economics and the Rector of the New Economic School in Moscow

"Over the span of barely two decades Andrei Vavilov's career path has taken him from academia, to top-level government service in Russia's executive and legislative branches, to success in industry and finance on a global scale. His new book combines the insider's unique insights into policymaking with the balanced and informed judgment of the professional economist and businessman, as it presents the real story of successes and failures in Russia's attempts to create the lifeline of a vibrant market economy — a robust and modern financial system." -- Clifford G. Gaddy, Senior Fellow, the Brookings Institution, US
Product Description
This book examines history of Russian finances in the period of Russia's transition from communism to capitalism in the 1990s and in the current decade. It focuses on obstacles to market reforms and macroeconomic policy choices that resulted in the state debt expansion and the financial crisis of 1998.

Catriona Kelly - Russian Literature, A Very Short Introduction (2001).jpg

Rather than presenting a conventional chronology of Russian literature, Russian Literature: A Very Short Introduction explores the place and importance in Russian culture of all types of literature. How and when did a Russian national literature come into being? What shaped its creation? How have the Russians regarded their literary language? The book uses the figure of Pushkin--'the Russian Shakespeare'--as a recurring example, as his work influenced every Russian writer who came after him, whether they wrote prose or verse. It furthermore examines why Russian writers are venerated, how they've been interpreted inside Russia and beyond, and the influences of the folk tale tradition, orthodox religion, and the West.

John W. Steinberg, Bruce W. Menning - The Russo-Ja panese War in Global Perspective, World War Zero ( 2005).jpg

This volume examines the Russo-Japanese War in its military, diplomatic, social, political, economic, and cultural context. Through the use of research from newly opened Russian and little used Japanese sources the editors assert that the Russo-Japanese War was, in fact, World War Zero, the first global conflict in the 20th century. The contributors demonstrate that the Russo-Japanese War, largely forgotten in the aftermath of World War One, actually was a precursor to the catastrophe that engulfed the world less than a decade after the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth. This study not only further reveals the weaknesses of Imperial Russia but also exhibits Japan as it entered its fateful 20th century.

Petra Rethmann - Tundra Passages, Gender and Histo ry in the Russian Far East (2001).jpg

The first book in the field of post-Soviet Studies to focus on issues of gender in the Russian Far East.
"Petra Rethmann’s evocative Tundra Passages breaks completely new ground in ethnography from the Russian Far East. Drawing on conversations and experiences shared with Koriak women living on northeastern Kamchatka peninsula, she conveys the human dignity and creative energy that persist in the midst of social suffering following the breakdown of the Soviet empire. Rethmann demonstrates how historical conditions and regional inequalities affect the lives of women who struggle to make a better world for themselves and their families. This is ethnography at its very best." —Julie Cruikshank, University of British Columbia
Koriak have been described as a nomadic people, migrating with the reindeer through rugged terrain. Their autonomy and mobility are salient cultural features that ethnographers and state administrators have found equally fascinating and menacing.
Tundra Passages describes how this indigenous people in the Russian Far East have experienced, interpreted, and struggled with the changing conditions of life on the periphery of post-Soviet Russia.
Rethmann portrays the lives of Koriak women in the locales of Tymlat and Ossora in northern Kamchatka, within a wider framework of sexuality, state power, and marginalization, which she sees as central to the Koriak experience of everyday life. Using gender as a lens through which to examine wider issues of history, disempowerment, and marginalization, she explores the interpretations and strategies employed by Koriak women and men to ameliorate the austere effects of political and socioeconomic disorder. Rethmann’s innovative work combines historical and ethnographic descriptions of Koriak life, narration, and practices of gender and history.
With the demise of the Soviet Union, scholars have begun an active discussion of the political processes that affect marginalized and indigenous peoples in Russia. This work contributes to this discussion by revealing the tensions and potentially contradictory strategies of indigenous people within a world shaken by change, uncertainty, and disorder.

Steven E. Miller, Dmitri Trenin - The Russian Mili tary, Power and Policy (2004).jpg

Russian military capacity remains a major consideration for global security even in the post-Soviet era. This book assesses today's Russian military and analyzes its possible future direction. The contributors—experts on the subject from both Russia and the West—consider not only how Russia has built its military capacity but also the policies and doctrines that have shaped Russia's defense posture. They discuss such topics as the downsizing of the Russian military, Russia's use of military power in regional conflicts, and the management of Russia's nuclear weapons. For more than a decade, Russian leaders have struggled to formulate security and defense policies that protect Russia's borders and project Russia's influence. The contributors to The Russian Military find that the choices Russian leaders have made have been significantly influenced by the military reforms Russia has attempted to implement since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The protracted and intense debate over military reform has been— and will continue to be—decisive in shaping Russian military capacity.

Russia - Andreas Wenger, Jeronim Perovic, Robert W. Orttung - Ru...of Russian Business in Foreign and Security Policy 2006.jpg

This book examines how the connections between the Russian state, business community, and organized crime influence Russia's foreign and security policies, including its relations with the countries of the former Soviet Union, European Union, Asia and the Middle East. While earlier studies have focused separately on Russian foreign policy, the evolution of the business sector, or the growing crime problem, this book integrates these topics to gain a deeper understanding of how Russia's domestic evolution affects relations with its neighbors. It brings together in an overarching conceptual framework the impact of large corporations such as Gazprom and LUKoil, and small business networks active in the shadow economy of separatist regions in Georgia, the porous Russian-Kazakh border and the Far East. Individual chapters analyze key sectors in the Russian economy, including energy, arms, banking, forestry and drugs. By focusing on Russian business in all its forms, this book provides new insights into larger questions of conflict resolution and the role of the private sector in international and security relations.

Brad Williams - Resolving the Russo-Japanese Terri torial Dispute, Hokkaido-Sakhalin Relations (2007).jpg

The unresolved territorial dispute between Japan and Russia over the South Kuril Islands/Northern Territories remains the largest obstacle to concluding a peace treaty and fully normalising bilateral relations between the two nations. This book traces the evolution of transnational relations between subnational public authorities in Hokkaido and Sakhalin, examining the interrelationship between these ties and the Russo-Japanese territorial dispute.The book investigates why the development of Hokkaido-Sakhalin relations has failed to create, at the subnational level, an environment conducive to resolving (kankyo seibi) the South Kuril Islands/Northern Territories dispute. Brad Williams suggests that kankyo seibi has not worked primarily because Russia’s troubled transition to a liberal democratic market economy has manifested itself in ways that have ultimately increased the South Kuril Islands’ intrinsic and instrumental value for the Sakhalin public and regional elite. This in turn has limited the impact from the twin transnational processes of cultural and economic exchange in alleviating opposition to the transferral of these disputed islands to Japan.Drawing upon a wealth of primary and secondary sources from both countries, this book utilises levels of analysis and an analytical framework that incorporates national and subnational, as well as governmental and non-governmental forces to discuss a relatively unexplored aspect of Russo-Japanese relations. As such, Resolving the Russo-Japanese Territorial Dispute will appeal to students and scholars of Asian politics, international relations and post-communist states.

Russia - Vladimir Mau, Irina Starodubrovskaya - The Challenge of ...ion, Contemporary Russia in Historical Perspective 2001.jpg

Providing a challenging and controversial explanation of the recent events in Russia, this volume examines the causes, processes, and consequences of Russia's political development. Drawing on and criticizing the existing literature, the book shows how the recent Russian experience can cast light on general theories of revolution and comparative political developments. Also, it includes unique interviews with four leaders of the Russian transformation--Mikhail Gorbachev, Alexander Yakovlev, Yegor Gaidar, and Gennadii Burbulis--as well as the personal experience of the authors who were deeply involved in the practical process of Russian transformation.

Inventing the Nation - Vera Tolz - Russia (2001).jpg

The question of national identity is central to the future of Russia. In this analysis, which spans three centuries of Russian cultural history, Vera Tolz places post-communist Russia in a broad historical background. She focuses on three ways of defining Russia and Russians: Russia as a counterpart to the West; Russians as creators of a unique multi-ethnic community; and Russians as members of the community of Eastern Slavs. She demonstrates how these three perspectives have dominated the views of Russia in the modern era and traces their origins back to writers and historians in the eighteenth century. Combining a rich historical study with a rigorous analytical framework, the book is an essential tool for understanding contemporary Russia and its immediate future.

Robert D. Crews - For Prophet and Tsar, Islam and Empire in Russia and Central Asia (2009).jpg

Russia occupies a unique position in the Muslim world. Unlike any other non-Islamic state, it has ruled Muslim populations for over five hundred years. Though Russia today is plagued by its unrelenting war in Chechnya, Russia's approach toward Islam once yielded stability. In stark contrast to the popular "clash of civilizations" theory that sees Islam inevitably in conflict with the West, Robert D. Crews reveals the remarkable ways in which Russia constructed an empire with broad Muslim support.
In the eighteenth century, Catherine the Great inaugurated a policy of religious toleration that made Islam an essential pillar of Orthodox Russia. For ensuing generations, tsars and their police forces supported official Muslim authorities willing to submit to imperial directions in exchange for defense against brands of Islam they deemed heretical and destabilizing. As a result, Russian officials assumed the powerful but often awkward role of arbitrator in disputes between Muslims. And just as the state became a presence in the local mosque, Muslims became inextricably integrated into the empire and shaped tsarist will in Muslim communities stretching from the Volga River to Central Asia.
For Prophet and Tsar draws on police and court records, and Muslim petitions, denunciations, and clerical writings--not accessible prior to 1991--to unearth the fascinating relationship between an empire and its subjects. As America and Western Europe debate how best to secure the allegiances of their Muslim populations, Crews offers a unique and critical historical vantage point.

Russia - Niels C., Nielsen, Jr. - Christianity After Communism, S...Social, Political, and Cultural Struggle in Russia 1994.jpg

Specialists from Europe and the US investigate the current and changing role of religion in post-communist Russia. Drawing upon Eastern Orthodox, Protestant and Roman Catholic points of view, they examine the Russian religious attitudes, activities and institutions, and explore the ways in which religion will significantly impact emerging social and political questions there. The volume should be of use to scholars of Russian politics, society, and religion and for anyone interested in the emerging culture of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

Jeffrey Mankoff - Russian Foreign Policy, The Retu rn of Great Power Politics (2009).jpg

This thoughtful and balanced text examines the development of Russian foreign policy since the end of the Cold War. Presenting an even-handed treatment of controversial issues, Jeffrey Mankoff analyzes Russia's interactions with major global actors, including the United States, the European Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and China. Despite Moscow's often-harsh rhetoric and the deployment of Russian forces against Georgia in 2008, the author convincingly demonstrates that today's Russia is more interested in restoring what its leaders consider to be its rightful place among the world's major powers than in directly challenging the West. Thoroughly researched and knowledgeable, this book will be invaluable for all students of Russia.

Harsha Ram - The Imperial Sublime, A Russian Poeti cs of Empire (2006).jpg

The Imperial Sublime examines the rise of the Russian empire as a literary theme simultaneous with the evolution of Russian poetry between the 1730s and 1840—the century during which poets defined the main questions facing Russian literature and society. Harsha Ram shows how imperial ideology became implicated in an unexpectedly wide range of issues, from formal problems of genre, style, and lyric voice to the vexed relationship between the poet and the ruling monarch.
