Excerpt from Russian People: Revolutionary Recollections Encouraged by the kindly reception given to my first book, Revolutionary Days, I venture herein, with the kind permission of The Saturday Evening Post, which first published them, to present to the public some further tales of the varied and amazing currents of our Russian developments. The facts are offered as I observed them, or learned of them at first hand, and I have tried to be truthful and unprejudiced. Otherwise these pages claim no merit, but only the indulgence of a public which has shown me much sympathy and understanding, and to whom I owe sincere gratitude.

Russian People - Revolutionary Recollections by Princess Cantacuzene Pdf
RUSSIAN MUSIC From the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century by B. V. Asafev Igor 1 Glebov Translated from the Russian by Alfred J. Swan Published for American Council of Learned Societies by J. W. Edwards, Publisher Ann Arbor, Michigan FOREWORD The Russian Translation Project of the American Council of Learned Societies was organized in 1944 with the aid of a subsidy from the Rockefeller Foundation. The aim of the Project is the translation into English of significant works in the field of the humanities and the social sciences which pro vide an insight into Russian life and thought. Since Russian history is a continuum, the volumes trans lated are of various dates and have been drawn from both the prerevolutionary and postrevolutionary periods, from writ ings published inside and outside of Russia, the choice depend ing solely on their value to the fundamental aim of the Pro ject. Translations are presented in authentic and unabridged English versions of the original text. Only in this way, it is believed, can American readers be made aware of the tradi tions, concepts, and ideologies by which the thinking and at titudes of the people of Russia are molded. The first eleven volumes in the series were published only after the original translators texts were subjected to a thor ough editorial revision, annotation, correction, or refinement. With the termination of available funds on December 31, 1951 it is no longer possible to give the remaining titles, of which this is one, the same degree of editorial supervision accorded the first eleven volumes. This and the other volumes in the series to be published are, however, documentary material which will be useful to scholars and others more interested in their factual content than in the niceties of their presenta tion. They are, therefore, deserving of publication. With this reservation, it is believed that these works faithfully represent the Russian originals and serve to pro vide that insight into Russian life and thought which is the aim of the Russian Translation Project. It should of course, be clearly understood that the views expressed in the works translated are not to be identified in any way with those of the translator or of the American Council of Learned Societies.

It would be no exagger ation to call him the Russian counterpart of Ernest Newman. 2 his book was the first attempt among histories of Russian music, to treat the subject not in the more customary way of a continuous historic narrative, but in the manner of the German Kleine Handbuecher der Musik, each of which is devoted to a separate branch of music. 3 he had amassed an incredible amount of well-nigh unknown material about the early folk-song collections, the precursors of Glinka, and practically all the secon dary figures of Russian music. But, naturally, the principal value of the book lay not in its arrangement, or even in the new material, but in the piercing scrutiny to which the various phenomena were subjected...

'Telling October' chronicles the construction of an official 'foundation narrative' by the Soviet Union as the new state sought to legitimise itself by portraying the October Revolution as the inevitable culmination of a historical process.
As the strength of the Russian Empire began to falter during World War One, the seeds of Revolution were sown. Princess Julia Cantacuzene, a granddaughter of Ulysses S. Grant, was married to a Russian aristocrat and general, Michael Cantacuzene, and recorded in fascinating detail her experiences of those tumultuous days. Covering from just before the war broke out in 1914 and initial setbacks of the Russian army through to the growth of competing factions after the abdication of Nicholas II and the subsequent Bolshevik uprising, it continues until their eventual escape from Russia in 1917. Cantacuzene documented not only the broad changes that were occurring through the Revolution but also their own smaller concerns and experiences, therefore providing an extremely personal view of the Russian Revolution. From Rasputin to Trotsky, Kerensky to the Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolaiovitch, Cantacuzene provides in-depth analysis of all the characters who were instrumental in shaping this monumental moment in history. Cantacuzene travelled back and forth across the empire, including Petrograd, Kief and the Crimea, in order to evade tumult that was surrounding them, but they never truly escaped and instead they became witnesses to how the revolutionary fervor was affecting different parts of the empire. Revolutionary Days by Princess Cantacuzene is a brilliant first-person account of the Russian Revolution which observes both the Imperial and Bolshevik positions of that time. Julia Dent Grant Cantacuzene Spiransky, Princess Cantacuzene, was an American author and historian. She was the eldest child of Frederick Dent Grant and his wife Ida Marie Honor�, and the first grandchild of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. In 1899, she married Prince Mikhail Cantacuzene, a Russian general and diplomat. Princess Cantacuzene was the author of three first-person accounts of the events leading up to the Russian Revolution in 1917, as well as a personal historian of the Russian people during that time. This book was published in 1919 and she eventually died in America in 1975 at the age of ninety-nine.
Fashion and the Consumer Revolution in Contemporary Russia by Olga Gurova Pdf
This book explores how clothing consumption has changed in Russia in the past 20 years as capitalism has grown in a postsocialist state, bringing with it a "consumer revolution." It shows how there has been and continues to be a massive change in the fashion retail market and how ideal lifestyles portrayed in glossy magazines and other media have contributed to the consumer revolution, as have shifts in the social structure and everyday life. Overall, the book, which includes the findings of extensive original research, including in-depth interviews with consumers, relates changes in fashion and retail to changing outlooks, identities, and ideologies in Russia more generally. The mentioned changes are also linked to the theoretical concept of fashion formed in postsocialist society.
