Death On The Volga by Richard Hernaman Allen Pdf

1996. Nick and Rosemary Storey are enjoying a river cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg when two British passengers from their excursion group are murdered, apparently on return from a visit to Yaroslavl. The cruise line ask them to get statements from relevant British passengers before the ship docks in St Petersburg. Facing a curtain of lies and half-truths, tales of hidden Nazi gold, well-concealed Russian connections and unable to check much of what is said to them, they have to rely on inconsistencies, tweaking the Russian bear's tail and a bear trap to identify both a brutal killer and his paymasters, not without risk to their own lives. Death on the Volga? is the twenty-seventh book published in a series of detective stories set mostly in HM Customs & Excise, by Richard Hernaman Allen, a former Commissioner

Moscow's Final Solution by Darrel Philip Kaiser Pdf

The Final Chapter of the German-Russian Volga Colonies is filled with words like Starvation, Torture, Mass Murders, Deportation, Siberia, and GENOCIDE. Why? One would think that after all the trouble that Tsarina Catherine the Great went to get the Germans to come to Russia, and after living in the Volga Colonies for 100 years, they would be welcome forever. Not so: the Russians felt the German-Russians were still "Germans" at heart and not to be trusted. This book covers the increasing stranglehold that the Tsarist Government clamped on the Volga Colonies around 1860. This was the start of 81 years of Russian scheming to rid Russia of the German-Russians. Also covered is their deportation and life in Siberia, and Moscow's elimination of all traces of the German-Russians Volga Colonies. "GENOCIDE" This is my third book in a series on the German-Russian Volga Colonies. See all my books at my websites, www.Volga-Germans.com & www.DarrelKaiserBooks.com

Stalingrad by Antonio Gil,Daniel Ortega Pdf

"Stalingrad. From August 1942 to February 1943 this model industrial city, bathed by the waters of the Volga, was home to the bloodiest battle of World War II. Stalingrad: Letters from the Volga offers a fast-paced depiction of this titanic struggle: explicit, crude, and without concessions—just as the war and the memory of all those involved demands. The battle rendered devastating results. Almost two million human beings were marked forever in its crosshairs, a frightening figure comprised of the dead, injured, sick, captured, and missing. Military and civilians alike paid with their lives for the personal fight between Stalin and Hitler, which materialized in long months of primitive conflict among the smoking ruins of Stalingrad and its surroundings. Stalingrad: Letters from the Volga presents the battle, beginning to end, through the eyes of Russian and German soldiers. Take a chronological tour of the massacre, relive the fights, and feel the drama of trying to survive in a relentless hell of ice and snow."

Custer's Best by French L. MacLean Pdf

This is the story of George Custer's best cavalry company at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn – Company M. With a tragically-flawed, but extremely brave Company Commander and a no-nonsense First Sergeant, Company M maintained a disciplined withdrawal from the skirmish line fighting, saving Major Marcus Reno's entire detachment and possibly the rest of the regiment from annihilation. Presented here is the most-detailed work on a single company at the Little Bighorn ever written – the product of multi-year research at archives across the country and detailed visits to the battlefield by a combat veteran who understands fields of fire, weapons' effects, training, morale, decision-making, unit cohesion and the value of outstanding non-commissioned officers.

Meanings and Values of Water in Russian Culture by Jane Costlow,Arja Rosenholm Pdf

Bringing together a team of scholars from the diverse fields of geography, literary studies, and history, this is the first volume to study water as a cultural phenomenon within the Russian/Soviet context. Water in this context is both a cognitive and cultural construct and a geographical and physical phenomenon, representing particular rivers (the Volga, the Chusovaia in the Urals, the Neva) and bodies of water (from Baikal to sacred springs and the flowing water of nineteenth-century estates), but also powerful systems of meaning from traditional cultures and those forged in the radical restructuring undertaken in the 1930s. Individual chapters explore the polyvalence and contestation of meanings, dimensions, and values given to water in various times and spaces in Russian history. The reservoir of symbolic association is tapped by poets and film-makers but also by policy-makers, the popular press, and advertisers seeking to incite reaction or drive sales. The volume's emphasis on the cultural dimensions of water will link material that is often widely disparate in time and space; it will also serve as the methodological framework for the analysis undertaken both within chapters and in the editors' introduction.

Die Wolgadeutschen Unsere Leute by Gary Leikam Pdf

This book is the first of a two-volume set, which together, tell the epic story of die Wolgadeutschen (the Volga Germans), from both a big picture and small picture perspective. This volume, Unsere Leute (Our People), relates the broad, overall story of the Volga German people and their place in history. It is a compelling saga in its own right, but it also provides the historical backdrop and context for the personal family stories told in the companion volume, Unsere Familien (Our Families). Although each volume can stand on its own, they are designed to complement one another. The story is divided into three parts: Part I: The Volga Colonies – This part covers the migration of a large number of Germans who settled the wild and barren Volga steppes in the 1760s; the hardships they overcame in establishing their colonies; and after a century of rapid growth and prosperity, the changing economic and political conditions that led many to seek a fresh start in the New World. Part II: The American Homeland – This part focuses on the story of the waves of Volga German immigrants who left Russia in the late 1870s, to establish new settlements on the virgin prairies in northwest Kansas; survived the severe economic hardships of the Great Depression/Dust Bowl era; fought against their primordial German fatherland in two world wars; and eventually assimilated into the fabric of modern American culture. Part III: Our Russian Kinfolk – This part follows the fate of the Volga Germans who remained in Russia after their kin departed to America. It details the tragic events that befell them during the Communist Revolution, the Russian Civil War, the Great Famine, collectivization, Stalin's ruthless genocidal purges, and their mass deportation to the Siberian hinterlands following the outbreak of World War II. This is the most important part of the book. The lessons of the Volga Germans' experience are particularly relevant for Americans today, and offer a stark reminder of the dangers of tyranny and the importance of protecting our precious individual liberties. This book is a great read for anyone interested in learning the history and culture of this unique ethnic group, especially those with family ties to the Volga German communities in Ellis County, Kansas.

Die Wolgadeutschen Unsere Familien by Gary Leikam,Elvira (Leikam) Zybareva,Roman Weilert Pdf

This book is the second of a two-volume set, which together, tell the story of die Wolgadeutschen, the Volga Germans, from both a big picture and small picture perspective. The first volume, Unsere Leute (Our People), uses a wide-angle lens to tell the broad, overall story of the Volga German people and their place in history. This volume, Unsere Familien (Our Families), zooms in and narrows the focus to tell the personal family stories of the author's paternal Leikam and Karlin ancestors, and the family stories of two Russian cousins from another branch of the Leikam family, and the closely related Weilert family. These four interwoven families lived closely together in Katharinenstadt on the banks of the Volga, for over a century, until the 1870s, when changing economic and political conditions led many to seek a fresh start in the New World. Their histories took widely divergent paths from this point. The author's ancestors were among the waves of Volga German immigrants who left Russia in the late 1870s, to establish new settlements on the virgin prairies in northwest Kansas; survived the severe economic hardships of the Great Depression/Dust Bowl era; fought against their primordial fatherland in two world wars; and eventually assimilated into the fabric of modern American culture. His Russian cousins’ ancestors remained in Russia. Their family stories are both poignant tales, filled with drama and tragedy, that play out during the terrible decades of the Communist Revolution, the Russian Civil War, the Great Famine, collectivization, Stalin’s reign of terror, and the deportation after the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941. But both are also positive stories of the survival of human decency and goodness in the midst of profound evil. This book is a must for anyone related to or interested in these families. The comparison and contrast of the parallel histories of these four closely related families also makes it a great addition to the library of anyone interested in the history of the Volga Germans in general.
