Hammer, Sickle, and Soil by Jonathan Daly Pdf

In Hammer, Sickle, and Soil, Jonathan Daly tells the harrowing story of Stalin's transformation of millions of family farms throughout the USSR into 250,000 collective farms during the period from 1929 to 1933. History's biggest experiment in social engineering at the time and the first example of the complete conquest of the bulk of a population by its rulers, the policy was above all intended to bring to Russia Marx's promised bright future of socialism. In the process, however, it caused widespread peasant unrest, massive relocations, and ultimately led to millions dying in the famine of 1932–33. Drawing on scholarly studies and primary-source collections published since the opening of the Soviet archives three decades ago, now, for the first time, this volume offers an accessible and accurate narrative for the general reader. The book is illustrated with propaganda posters from the period that graphically portray the drama and trauma of the revolution in Soviet agriculture under Stalin. In chilling detail the author describes how the havoc and destruction wrought in the countryside sowed the seeds of destruction of the entire Soviet experiment.

The Oxford Handbook of Agricultural History by Jeannie Whayne Pdf

Agricultural history has enjoyed a rebirth in recent years, in part because the agricultural enterprise promotes economic and cultural connections in an era that has become ever more globally focused, but also because of agriculture's potential to lead to conflicts over precious resources. The Oxford Handbook of Agricultural History reflects this rebirth and examines the wide-reaching implications of agricultural issues, featuring essays that touch on the green revolution, the development of the Atlantic slave plantation, the agricultural impact of the American Civil War, the rise of scientific and corporate agriculture, and modern exploitation of agricultural labor.

The Rise of Western Power by Jonathan Daly Pdf

In this second edition of The Rise of Western Power, Jonathan Daly retains the broad sweep of his introduction to the history of Western civilization as well as introducing new material into every chapter, enhancing the book's global coverage and engaging with the latest historical debates. The West's history is one of extraordinary success: no other region, empire, culture, or civilization has left so powerful a mark upon the world. Daly charts the West's achievements-representative government, the free enterprise system, modern science, and the rule of law-as well as its misdeeds: two World Wars, the Holocaust, imperialistic domination, and the Atlantic slave trade. Taking us through a series of revolutions, he explores the contributions of other cultures and civilizations to the West's emergence, weaving in historical, geographical, and cultural factors. The new edition also contains more material on themes such as the environment and gender, and additional coverage of India, China and the Islamic world. Daly's engaging narrative is accompanied by timelines, maps and further reading suggestions, along with a companion website featuring study questions, over 100 primary sources and 60 historical maps to enable further study.

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.

From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin by Vladimir N. Brovkin Pdf

This book integrates Soviet and post-Soviet Russian history into a coherent whole by focusing on the culture, role models, habits and behavior patterns that provide continuity between various political regimes, systems, and rulers from Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin. The unifying theme of all these periods is the central question of identity – how the Russians have defined themselves, their country, and their values. Why did the Bolsheviks try to erase any trace of Old Russia and with what did they try to replace it? Why did Stalin wipe out the kulaks and the old Bolsheviks? What were the political consequences of the Great Patriotic War on the Russians as people? When post-Stalin Russia slowly weakened and gave way to the humanism and Westernization that led to the collapse of the Soviet system, why did the 1990s generate a resurgence of anti-western nationalism? And how to explain the slow and steady break with the West under President Putin? This will be a core textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of Russian and European history, and a valuable text for all those interested in how the Russian past influenced and shaped current politics, and in the international East–West divide in particular.

The Penguin Book of Russian Poetry by Robert Chandler,Irina Mashinski,Boris Dralyuk Pdf

An enchanting collection of the very best of Russian poetry, edited by acclaimed translator Robert Chandler together with poets Boris Dralyuk and Irina Mashinski. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, poetry's pre-eminence in Russia was unchallenged, with Pushkin and his contemporaries ushering in the 'Golden Age' of Russian literature. Prose briefly gained the high ground in the second half of the nineteenth century, but poetry again became dominant in the 'Silver Age' (the early twentieth century), when belief in reason and progress yielded once more to a more magical view of the world. During the Soviet era, poetry became a dangerous, subversive activity; nevertheless, poets such as Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova continued to defy the censors. This anthology traces Russian poetry from its Golden Age to the modern era, including work by several great poets - Georgy Ivanov and Varlam Shalamov among them - in captivating modern translations by Robert Chandler and others. The volume also includes a general introduction, chronology and individual introductions to each poet. Robert Chandler is an acclaimed poet and translator. His many translations from Russian include works by Aleksandr Pushkin, Nikolay Leskov, Vasily Grossman and Andrey Platonov, while his anthologies of Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida and Russian Magic Tales are both published in Penguin Classics. Irina Mashinski is a bilingual poet and co-founder of the StoSvet literary project. Her most recent collection is 2013's Ophelia i masterok [Ophelia and the Trowel]. Boris Dralyuk is a Lecturer in Russian at the University of St Andrews and translator of many books from Russian, including, most recently, Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry (2014).

Soviet Strategic Bombers by Jason Nicholas Moore Pdf

The history of Soviet strategic bombers after the Second World War is a fascinating one: from the reverse-engineering of interned American Boeing B-29 bombers into the first Soviet strategic bomber, the Tu-4; to the huge jet and turbo-prop powered aircraft of today's Russian Air Force. This comprehensive history of these aircraft will deal not just with the development of aircraft that entered service, but of experimental aircraft as well, and projects that were never even built will also be explored. The service life of these bombers will be covered, including both active and retired aircraft, and their use outside of the Soviet Union, in places such as the Middle East and Afghanistan, will be described in detail. The Soviet Union built some of the first jet-powered strategic bombers, and the Tu-95 Bear, the only swept-winged turbo-prop bomber to ever enter service, remains in service to this day. Less successful aircraft, like the graceful but problem-plagued supersonic Tu-22 Blinder, and the Mach 3 Sukhoi T-4 will also be examined.

The Shortest History of Europe by John Hirst Pdf

Celebrated historian John Hirst offers a fascinating exploration of the qualities that made Europe a world-changing civilisation. The Shortest History of Europe begins with a rapid overview of European civilisation, describing its birth from an unlikely mixture of classical learning, Christianity and German warrior culture. Over the centuries, this unstable blend produced highly distinctive characters – pious knights and belligerent popes, romantics spouting folklore and revolutionaries imitating Rome – and its coming apart provided the dynamic of European history in modern times. Accompanied by lively illustrations, The Shortest History of Europe is a clear, humorous and thought-provoking account of a remarkable civilisation. This new edition brings the story into the present, covering the world wars and beyond. ‘Crisp, lucid and evocative’ —Australian Book Review
