The Nazification of Russia by Semen Reznik Pdf

The first extensively documented account of the Russian "national patriotic" movement, which includes both Communist & ultranationalist groups. Addressed to scholars, students & to the general public, the book is filled with unknown documents, captivating stories, & lively characters. The author - a Russian emigre historian, prose-writer, & journalist - introduces the reader to Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Gennady Zyuganov, mathematician Igor Shafarevich, prominent novelist Valentin Rasputin, & dozens of other "patriots" who are "saving" Russia from democracy by scapegoating liberal intellectuals, Jews & other minorities. The book shows how the ambivalent Mikhail Gorbachev & Boris Yeltsin enabled the "patriots" to penetrate all layers of the Russian society. "SEMYON REZNIK HAS COLLECTED A MASS OF PERTINENT MATERIAL ON FASCIST TRENDS IN RUSSIA, TRENDS WHICH ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN THE WEST." comments Peter Reddaway, a distinguished political scientist & professor of George Washington University. This is Semyon Reznik's twelfth book & the first one available in English. Send orders: Challenge Publications, 6628 Burlington Place, Springfield, VA 22152.

East of the Storm by Hanna Davidson Pankowsky Pdf

On September 27, 1939, after the Nazi invasion, Poland ceased to exist as a nation. Ten-year-old Hanna Davidson's father, Simon, and older brother, Kazik, had been drafted to defend Warsaw. Hanna and her mother, Sophia, found themselves subjected to Hitler's efforts to dehumanize Poland's Jewish population. But when they got word that Simon and Kazik were alive in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland, Hanna and her mother decided to risk a harrowing escape from Nazi Poland into safer Soviet territory. With only the clothes on their backs, they left their apartment.

Smolensk Under the Nazis by Laurie R. Cohen Pdf

Drawing on oral-history interviews and other sources, this work provides fascinating accounts of how Soviets, Jews, and Roma fared in the Russian city of Smolensk under the 26-month Nazi occupation. The 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union ("Operation Barbarossa") significantly altered the lives of the civilians in occupied Russian territories, yet these individuals' stories are overlooked by most scholarly treatments ofthe attack and its aftermath. This study, drawing on oral-history interviews and a broad range of archival sources, provides a fascinating and detailed account of the everyday life of Soviets, Jews, Roma, and Germans in the city of Smolensk during its twenty-six months under Nazi rule. Smolensk under the Nazis records the profound and painful effects of the invasion and occupation on the 30,000 civilian residents (out of a prewar population ofroughly 155,000) who remained in this border town. It also compares Nazi and Stalinist local propaganda efforts, as well as examining the stance of Russian civilians, thereby investigating what it meant to support -- or hinder --the new Nazi-German and collaborating Russian authorities. By underlining the human dimensions of the war and its often neglected long-term effects, Laurie Cohen promotes a more complex understanding of life under occupation. Smolensk under the Nazis thus complements recent works on everyday life in occupied Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic States as well as on the siege of Leningrad. Laurie R. Cohen is Adjunct Professor at the Universities of Innsbruck and Klagenfurt.

Putin’s Russia and the Falsification of History by Anton Weiss-Wendt Pdf

This book provides a bold examination of the political use of history in contemporary Russia. Anton Weiss-Wendt argues that history is yet another discipline misappropriated by the Kremlin for the purpose of rallying the population. He explains how, since the pro-democracy protests in 2011–12, the Russian government has hamstrung independent research and aligned state institutions in the promotion of militant patriotism. The entire state machinery has been mobilized to construe a single, glorious historical narrative with the focus on Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. Putin's Russia and the Falsification of History examines the intricate networks in Russia that engage in “historymaking.” Whether it is the Holocaust or Soviet mass terror, Tsars or Stalin, the regime promotes a syncretic interpretation of Russian history that supports the notion of a strong state and authoritarian rule. That interpretation finds its way into new monuments, exhibitions, and quasi-professional associations. In addition to administrative measures of control, the Russian state has been using the penal code to censor critical perspectives on history, typically advanced by individuals who also happen to call for a political change in Russia. This powerful book shows how history is increasingly becoming an element of political technology in Russia, with the systematic destruction of independent institutions setting the very future of History as an academic discipline in Russia in doubt.

The Totalitarian Party by Aryeh L. Unger Pdf

Originally published in 1974, this book deals with the role of the totalitarian party in relation to the people under its rule. Drawing upon a wide range of published and unpublished sources from the two foremost examples of totalitarian government in the twentieth century, the book examines the specific contribution of the party to the control and mobilization of people under totalitarianism of the 'Right' and 'Left'. Dr Unger begins by setting out the doctrinal assumptions that shaped and legitimated the attitudes of the Nazi and Soviet parties to the broad mass of the people. Against this background he then traces the Nazi and Soviet approaches to propaganda and organization and describes and analyses the interaction of these two primary ingredients of totalitarian 'voluntary compulsion' in the realms of political agitation, leisure and ritual and social welfare. Although the importance of the party as a principal instrument of totalitarian government was widely recognized, this was the first comparative study of the functions of such parties in an area in which totalitarian regimes impinge directly upon the lives of their subjects.

Design for Terror by Arnold Reifer Pdf

THE TITLE OF this study unfortunately implies much and tells little. The scope of any work such as this must of necessity be limited to certain aspects only of the regimes in question. The formation and political history of the Nazi and Soviet regimes, for example, have been covered only in the most cursory manner, and only insofar as they bore a direct relationship to the network of terror which evolved in both states. The historical period herein covered is approximately 1932 to 1941 for Germany and 1918 to 1958 for Soviet Russia. Emphasis has been placed on the Soviet model, which is the more contemporary of the two. The history, scope and function of the Nazi secret police will, however, be discussed where it can be shown that a similarity or a contrast existed with respect to the organs of repression in Russia. In addition to a discussion of the terror itself, mention will also be made of the background, methods, goals and actual operations of the instruments of terror. I have tried, to the best of my ability, to preserve the continuity throughout the text and to avoid “skipping” from the Gestapo in one paragraph to the N.K.V.D. in the other. A conscious attempt has been made not only to examine the system of terror in and for itself but also to discover the significance of terror in the daily life of the average citizen as well as to ascertain to what extent terror represents an inevitable feature of totalitarian societies.”—Arnold Reifer

Thunder in the East by Evan Mawdsley Pdf

Thunder in the East, originally published in 2005, is widely regarded as the best short history of the entire Nazi-Soviet military conflict. It tells the story from the pre-war expectations of Hitler and Stalin, through the pivotal battles deep in Russia in 1942-43, and on to the huge Soviet offensives across Eastern Europe in 1944-45. This final 'march of liberation' destroyed the Third Reich and set Europe's history for the next 45 years. The book provides penetrating answers to vital questions: Why did the war in the East develop as it did? Why did Hitler's Wehrmacht lose? Why did the Red Army win, and why did the people of Soviet Russia pay such a high price for victory? The first edition took advantage of the flood of new sources that followed the end of the Soviet era. This second edition takes account of what has been written over the last decade; the Nazi-Soviet war, in all its aspects, has continued to be the subject of extensive and innovative research and heated controversy.
