Zeigt Titel in Russland

Eine klingende Kulturgeschichte Russlands von den Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart. Auch wenn man uns in sieben Wassern wäscht, bleibt unser russisches Wesen erhalten! Was macht sie aus - die russische Seele, die der Dichter Iwan Turgenjew nicht ohne Stolz beschreibt? Ist es der orthodoxe Glaube, der Patriotismus, die tiefe Liebe zur eigenen Kultur, zu den Komponisten, Malern und Dichtern, die für das Volk stets moralische Anführer und Propheten waren?

Prit Buttar retraces the ebb and flow of the various battles and campaigns fought throughout the Ukraine and Romania in 1944. January and February saw Army Group South encircled in the Korsun Pocket.

Indeed, in the coming months the Red Army would demonstrate an ability to learn and improve, reinventing itself as a war-winning machine, demonstrated clearly in its success in the Iasi-Kishinev operation.

The massive armies of the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies posed a huge threat to the nations of Western Europe. US military planners decided they needed a plan to slow the juggernaut they expected when and if a war began. The plan was Special Forces Berlin. Their mission, should hostilities commence, was to wreak havoc behind enemy lines and buy time for vastly outnumbered NATO forces to conduct a breakout from the city.

On a moonless night in January 1991, a dozen US aircraft appeared in the skies over Baghdad. To the Iraqi air defenses, the planes seemed to come from nowhere. Each aircraft was more than 60 feet in length and with a wingspan of 40 feet, yet its radar footprint was the size of a ball bearing. Here was the first extensive combat application of Stealth technology. And it was devastating.

A journalist writing in the first flush of revolutionary enthusiasm, John Reed gives a gripping record of the events in Petrograd in November 1917, when Lenin and the Bolsheviks finally seized power. Containing verbatim reports both of speeches by leaders and the chance comments of bystanders, set against an idealized backcloth of the proletariat, soldiers, sailors, and peasants uniting to throw off oppression, Reed's account is the product of passionate involvement and remains a classic of reporting.

Rusland zit vast in een archaïsche machtsstructuur. De politiek in het Kremlin heeft heimwee naar de oude machtspositie uit de tijd van het communistische regime. Poetin lijkt te worden gedreven door wroeging en wraak. Dat werd pijnlijk duidelijk door de inlijving van de Krim en de hybride oorlog in Oost-Oekraïne. Wat drijft Poetin? Hoe ziet zijn “Russische wereld” eruit en wat betekent zijn politiek voor de toekomst van Rusland en van landen in zijn invloedssfeer, zoals Oekraïne? Zijn wij getuige van de fantoompijn van een uiteengevallen imperium of van een opmars naar een nieuwe hegemonie?

Every American president since the end of the Cold War has called for better relations with Russia. But each has seen relations get worse by the time he left office. Now, the two countries are facing off in a virtual war being fought without clear goals or boundaries. Why? George Beebe argues that new game-changing technologies, disappearing rules of the game, and distorted perceptions on both sides are combining to lock Washington and Moscow into an escalatory spiral that they do not recognize.

What followed was the widely acclaimed book, Russia at War, first printed in 1964.
