Though history is usually written by the victors, the lack of a particularly strong writing tradition from the Mongols ensured that history was largely written by those who they vanquished. Because of this, their portrayal in the West has been extraordinarily negative for centuries, at least until recent revisions to the historical record. The Mongols have long been depicted as wild horse-archers galloping out of the dawn to rape, pillage, murder and enslave, but the Mongol army was a highly sophisticated, minutely organized and incredibly adaptive and innovative institution.

In this new edition of his popular 2014 work, Mark Galeotti traces the progress of the wars in Chechnya, from the initial Russian advance through to urban battles such as Grozny, and the prolonged guerrilla warfare in the mountainous regions. Bringing the book up to date, including a revised introduction and new content on the Kadyrovtsy’s role in Russia’s other conflicts, Galeotti assesses how the wars have torn apart the fabric of Chechen society and their impact on Russia itself.

Joshua Rubenstein's riveting account takes us back to the second half of 1952, when no one could foresee an end to Joseph Stalin's murderous regime. He was poised to challenge the newly elected US president Dwight Eisenhower with armed force and was also broadening a vicious campaign against Soviet Jews. Stalin's sudden collapse and death in March 1953 was as dramatic and mysterious as his life. It is no overstatement to say that his passing marked a major turning point in the 20th century.

Tolstoy Shakespeare'den sonra dünya dillerine en çok tercümesi yapılan yazardır. Sadece 18881908 yıllan arasında çeşitli dünya dillerine çevrilip yayımlanan eserlerinin satış sayısı 20 milyonu bulmaktaydı. Tolstoy çocukluğunda ağabeyi Nikolay'dan çok etkilenmiş ergenliğinde Rousseau okumuş gençliğinde önce Doğu dilleriyle ilgilenmiş daha sonra hukuku tercih etmiştir. Ancak yalın ve parlak dehası onu özgür olmaya itince hukuk fakültesini de terketmiştir. Tolstoy uzun bir süre seyahat etmiş tabiatı ve insanı incelemiştir. Batı'yı ve kendi ülkesini insanlarını tanımış yeni bir pedagoji sistemi geliştirmiştir. Tolstoy çağını çok iyi gözlemiştir. Aristokrat sınıfın amaçsız debdebeli yaşantısına ateş püskürmüştür.

Tucked away in Siberia, there are furry, four-legged creatures with wagging tails and floppy ears that are as docile and friendly as any lapdog. But, despite appearances, these are not dogs - they are foxes. They are the result of the most astonishing experiment in breeding ever undertaken - imagine speeding up thousands of years of evolution into a few decades. In 1959, biologists Dmitri Belyaev and Lyudmila Trut set out to do just that, by starting with a few dozen silver foxes from fox farms in the USSR and attempting to recreate the evolution of wolves into dogs in real time.

Med denne bog giver Niels Bo Poulsen og Flemming Splidsboel indblik og perspektiv. Hvordan skal vi forstå Putin, hvad var vejen hen mod krigen, og hvad er det for en tid, vi kigger ind i. Bogen er ikke en situationsbeskrivelse af krigen i Ukraine, selv om krigen er bogens afsæt. Den giver gennem nedslag i en række vigtige spørgsmål læserne svar ”vejen derhen” og tiden efter. Bogens kapitler handler om Ruslands politiske tænkning, om statsmagt, forsvar, sikkerhedspolitik og relationer til omverdenen.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of "imitation democracy," marked by "a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule." How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future? These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power.
