In the mid-1950's were tumultuous for the Soviet Bloc. Several countries saw Stalin’s death and the apparent change of direction, even the softening of policy under Khrushchev, as an opportunity to pursue a reformist path...the uprising with the greatest impact on the bulk of the Cold War took place in Hungary in 1956, when protestors took to the streets to demand freedom from tyranny and a greater say in their own destiny. When the Hungarians rose up against the status quo in October 1956, they were met with a brutal response from Moscow.

The history of Ukraine is a fascinating story of how cultures, political systems, religions, and power have met, intersected, morphed, and expanded. The region was relatively sparsely populated for much of ancient history, a wilderness of rivers, forests, and steppes, but that does not detract from the rich historical development of the region. This geographical formation has influenced some of the country’s key historical developments, as well as the location of its major settlements.

The history of Ukraine is a fascinating story of how cultures, political systems, religions, and power have met, intersected, morphed, and expanded. After various cultures helped develop the region, the legendary Cossacks arrived during the early modern period and dominated the region for several centuries, forming an independent republic that helped forge Ukrainian identity to this day. Even as the origins of these ferocious fighters remain murky and obscure, the Cossacks have continued their growing international appearance with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Has Ivan Chetvyorty been a wicked and ruthless leader? Has his nation suffered as he pursued his own corrupted agendas? Surely, though, none comes close to the violent, lascivious, vengeful reign of Ivan Chetvyorty Vasilyevich, born to the Rurik Dynasty in the Grand Duchy of Muscovy. Indeed, this man’s period in power was one of the longest in Russian history, lasting more than half a century.

Oleg Gordievsky was the highest ranking KGB officer ever to work for Britain. For 11 years, he acted as a secret agent, reporting to the British Secret Intelligence Service while continuing to work as a KGB officer. He gave such a clear insight into the mind and methods of the KGB and the whole system of Soviet government that he has been credited with doing more than any other individual in the West to accelerate the collapse of Communism. 

Den 29 april 1918 stoppar man tsar Nikolaj Romanov och hans tyskfödda hustru Alexandra i den ryska staden Jekaterinburg. Hela tsarfamiljen på sju personer har varit under arrest i 13 månader, först i Petrograd och senare i Tobolsk. Den nya regeringen avskyr honom och har lett en obarmhärtig kampanj för att vända det ryska folket emot tsarfamiljen. Jekaterinburg, den tredje största staden i Ryssland har blivit ett skrämmande centrum för bolsjevikernaeras fiende nummer ett, Nikolaj.

Durante más de medio siglo y hasta su abolición en 1991, el Comité para la Seguridad del Estado (KGB), conocido también en el mundo del espionaje como ‘El Centro', dirigió una auténtica guerra de espías desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta el fin de la Guerra Fría. Pero no solo el KGB significaba el enemigo para la CIA o el MI6, sino también el terror para miles de ciudadanos de la antigua Unión Soviética. El 'escudo y la espada' (símbolo del KGB) a través de sus agentes y espías fueron sin duda alguna la vanguardia de la defensa de unos valores que dejaron de serlo abruptamente en 1991.

Natten mellem 6. og 7. november 1917 kuppede Lenin og bolsjevikkerne sig til magten i Petrograd. Bolsjevikkerne vandt ikke et folkeligt mandat ved et valg - de tog magten, og med den russiske revolution gik det gamle Rusland under. Et nyt, hidtil ukendt samfund skulle opbygges. Historiker, dr.phil. og forfatter Bent Jensen skriver fortællingen om Zardømmets fald og bolsjevikkernes vej til magten i et uroligt og tumultarisk Rusland.

I "Gulag og glemsel" fortæller den danske historiker Bent Jensen om Sovjetunionens store forbrydelser i tiden mellem Den Russiske Revolution i 1917 og frem til 1950'erne. I år 1921 var der 84 sovjetiske Gulaglejre. Disse Gulaglejre, hvor antikommunister blev holdt fanget, er i dag blevet et billede på Sovjetunionens store undertrykkelse og misbrug. Bent Jensen forsøger at huske os på Sovjetunionens forfærdelige ugerninger, der ledte til millioner af dødsfald. Disse forbrydelser bliver desværre ofte glemt, da nazisternes handlinger stadig skygger for dem.

En el año 1917, tuvo lugar en Rusia un acontecimiento tan extraordinariamente singular que por sí solo ha robado protagonismo en los libros de historia a la más espantosa tragedia experimentada hasta entonces por el continente europeo: la Primera Guerra Mundial; una guerra que aún se hallaba en todo su apogeo. El envejecido y anacrónico régimen zarista se mostró incapaz de acometer los cambios que su sociedad exigía.

Si ricordano gli armeni quasi solo per il terribile genocidio patito nel 1915 e per le polemiche di cui tuttora questo è oggetto. Ma quella armena è una storia molto più ricca e antica: la storia di un territorio ponte fra Oriente e Occidente e di un popolo millenario che ha conservato e tramandato una cultura fortemente identitaria. Ricco di informazioni, l'audiolibro ripercorre la storia armena dalle origini più antiche a oggi, presentando anche un quadro generale della religione, della lingua, della letteratura.

Affollato di incontri con tutti i nomi che contano nell'intelligencija russa - poeti e registi, scrittori, scienziati - questo libro è l'appassionato resoconto di quanto è andato affastellandosi, intrecciandosi, elidendosi nella vita culturale di Mosca e delle sue più lontane province durante la fase che ha fatto seguito alla perestrojka. Dai referendum del '91 al golpe d'agosto che induce Gorbacev alla resa, fino ai giorni drammatici che vedono il Parlamento russo preso a cannonate da El'cin, questa è la registrazione di voci vivissime e variegate.

Photographic images of the Holocaust are very rare. The perpetrators were careful to avoid leaving visual evidence of what they did in Poland and the Soviet Union during and after the summer of 1941. But Wendy Lower discovered an old print that captured the moment a woman and child were shot and pushed into a pit by two riflemen, while another uniformed figure looks complacently on. Through diligent research in archives and interviews with descendants and survivors, Wendy Lower was able to identify the place, the time and the identity of the killers and witnesses.

From the number one New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist comes Shadow State, a timely and shocking analysis which connects Putin, Trump, and Brexit with the dark web. Based on years of investigations, Luke Harding reveals how Russian spies helped to sway the 2016 US presidential elections in favour of Trump and backed the campaign which resulted in Brexit, and how they lied, deceived, and murdered to do so.

In 1929, Stalin plunged Soviet Russia into a coercive "revolution from above", a decade-long effort to amass military-industrial power for a new war. He forced 25 million peasant families into state-run collectives and transformed the Communist Party into a servile instrument. In 1939, he concluded the pact with Hitler that enabled him to grasp at Eastern Europe while Hitler made war in the West.
