Since the invasion of Ukraine and ban on foreign reporters, Russia seems to have sunk into an even deeper shadow than in the darkest times of the Soviet Union. Only by presenting himself as an historian was Italian journalist Marzio G. Mian able to penetrate the Russian heartland, leading to his groundbreaking cover story for Harpers’ Magazine, “Behind the New Iron Curtain.”

“There are many books that explain the transformation of Russia by focusing on the politicians, oligarchs, and KGB/FSB spies who run Russia. This isn’t one of them. Let me explain how a kid from New York founded a law firm in Moscow, had to flee for his life and ended up in a pissing contest...

La sera del 23 agosto 1942 la Sedicesima divisione corazzata tedesca si assestava sulle rive del Volga, a breve distanza dalla città di Stalingrado . Era l'avanguardia della "grande armata" che poco più di un anno prima Hitler aveva lanciato a sorpresa contro l'Unione Sovietica "per schiacciare il comunismo slavo". L'Armata Rossa pareva in rotta. Gli uomini della Wehrmacht non potevano sapere che la città assediata sarebbe diventata un baluardo insuperabile, una trappola per le ambizioni del Reich e la tomba di decine di migliaia di suoi soldati.

Die Kriege in der Ukraine und in Nahost sind Symptom einer sich seit Jahrzehnten anbahnenden Zeitenwende: Militärische Konfrontation wird zunehmend wieder als legitimes Mittel zur Fortsetzung der Politik angesehen. Ausgehend von diesem Moment, aber auch vorangegangene Konflikte mit einbeziehend, analysiert Franz-Stefan Gady die konstante Natur des Krieges sowie den sich wandelnden Charakter der Kriegsführung.

He didn’t just rule a country—he crushed it into silence. Behind the iron curtain, one man rose from obscurity to become a ruthless architect of fear. Empire of Fear rips open the hidden history of Joseph Stalin’s brutal rise—and the terror machine he built to control an empire. From secret police raids to forced famines, from propaganda to purges, this gripping true account exposes how Stalin turned loyalty into obedience… and obedience into survival.

Геополитика России родилась в конце далекого XV века. Как только на карте мира появилось Московское централизованное государство, оно сразу же стало объектом интриг и провокаций Запада. Стремление Габсбургов, папского престола, Англии, Польши, Швеции, Дании и других стран «коллективного Запада» контролировать ресурсы Московской Руси, затащить её в странный антитурецкий союз, насильно окатоличить и банально запереть в кольце первых в нашей истории санкций натолкнулось на возрастающую мудрость первых русских самодержцев и молодой московской дипломатии. На страницах книги Запад против Москвы.

În acest eseu de o impresionantă luciditate, Mihail Șișkin demontează mitul conform căruia Rusia este o „enigmă învăluită într-un mister" și susține că pur și simplu nu știm suficiente lucruri despre ea. Așadar, care este adevărata poveste din spatele regimului autocratic al lui Putin și al invaziei sale în Ucraina? Șișkin urmărește rădăcinile problemelor Rusiei, pornind de la „Rutenia (Rusia Kieveană)", trecând prin Marele Ducat al Moscovei, imperiu, revoluție și Războiul Rece, până la Federația Rusă creată acum mai bine de treizeci de ani.

The two largest transitions from unfree to free labor of the many that occurred in Europe and the Americas during the nineteenth century took place in the United States and in Russia. Both occurred in the 1860s, and in both the former slaves and serfs strove to maximize their autonomy and freedom while the former masters worked to preserve as many of their prerogatives as possible. Both were partially—but only partially—successful.

Marc Bennetts, foreign correspondent for The Times and The Sunday Times, moved to Russia in the chaotic yet free final years of President Yeltsin's rule. Twenty-five years later, The Times pulled him out of Russia over concerns for his security following his arrest in Moscow at a protest against the war in Ukraine. From the "wild" 1990s in Moscow to narrowly escaping death under fire in Ukraine, The Descent is a unique and personal diary of how Russia spiraled into violent insanity.

Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy.

Few political figures of the twentieth century have aroused such intensities of fierce admiration and reactionary fear as Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. His extraordinary life and extensive writings have left an indelible mark on the revolutionary consciousness. Yet there was once a danger that his life and influence would be relegated to the footnotes of history. Published over the course of ten years, beginning in 1954, Deutscher's magisterial three-volume biography turned back the tide of Stalin's propaganda, and has since been praised by everyone from Tony Blair to Graham Greene.
