Story
In this new history of the conflict that defined the postwar era, Sergey Radchenko provides a deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin's decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow.

At the height of World War II the people of Leningrad endured a bitter 900-day siege. Prit Buttar tells the story of how the siege was finally broken. The Red Army had suffered multiple setbacks in the preceding two years but achieved a partial success by breaking the blockage in early 1943. However, this was followed by further failed attempts to lift the siege completely. This compelling history uses original Russian source material to vividly describe the deprivations visited upon those trapped. But it also details the tactical successes and strategic failures of both sides.

La Revolución rusa es un ejemplo perfecto de cómo la historia puede reducirse hasta volverse excesivamente pesada y compleja.

Solo así podremos comprender la cantidad de acontecimientos comprimidos en los breves meses del decisivo año 1917.

1918 год. Москва. После революции 1917 года и начала Гражданской войны в стране сложилась сложная криминальная обстановка. По улицам города было опасно ходить даже днем. Профессиональные преступники всех мастей объединялись в банды и совершали дерзкие налеты, грабежи, убийства. Всего за год в Москве было зарегистрировано более тринадцати тысяч преступлений из которых раскрыто было лишь 30%. Назревает необходимость в усилении охраны государственных и финансовых учреждений, более чёткой организации их работы, а также повышении ответственности руководителей за сохранность денежных средств.
