As soon as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, prominent independent Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar circulated a Facebook petition signed first by hundreds of his cultural and journalistic contacts and then by thousands of others. That act led to a new law in Russia criminalizing criticism of the war, and Zygar fled Russia. In his time as a journalist, Zygar has interviewed President Zelensky and had access to many of the major players—from politicians to oligarchs.

Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits.

The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the “New Germany,” she has one affair after another....

The Great Vietnamese Novel(Port)Nguyen's Complaint

Publisher's summary
«Неудобное прошлое» Николая Эппле - важная книга об исторической памяти и мифах, вошедшая в короткий список премии «Просветитель»-2021. Существует ли прошлое как объективная реальность? Ведь оно формируется памятью, а память предвзята и легко позволяет себя обмануть. И есть такое прошлое, с которым непонятно, как жить, - память о преступлениях, в которых виноваты не внешние силы, а твоя собственная страна. Помнить о жертвах и страдании вообще труднее, чем о героях и победах, но, чтобы преодолеть «трудное прошлое» и двигаться вперед, государству и обществу необходимо его оценить и осудить. Репрессиям советского времени в России до сих пор не дана единая юридическая и этическая оценка, значимая для всего общества. В результате молчания о прошлом, отсутствия возможности и желания искать общий язык для разговора о нем, сегодня в одной и той же российской семье один человек может считать сталинские репрессии мифом и «поклепом», в то время как для другого это была ежедневная реальность. Но Россия не первая страна, которая сталкивается с подобной проблемой. Исследователь мемориальной культуры Николай Эппле впервые на русском языке рассматривает опыт других стран в работе с памятью о государственных преступлениях. Описывая, как разные сценарии воплощались в разных политико-социальных обстоятельствах на примере Германии, Аргентины, Испании, Польши, ЮАР и Японии, Эппле намечает принципы, которые могут помочь России успешно изжить коллективную травму и преодолеть конфликт в обществе. Книга удостоена VI Публицистической премии «ЛибМиссия» в номинации «Аналитика» (2021).

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich.

Stories of "The American West" often rely on tired tropes of tough cowboys, but real history is much less straight and narrow and way more interesting. Join host Niecy Nash-Betts for a wild round-up of LGBTQ+ lives that got buried in the dust of popular culture and history, and a look at how queer people continue to shape the West today–from gay rodeo to two-spirit identity to trans truckers.

French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said that "words are loaded pistols". In the hands of Russ Baker, they are hydrogen bombs. On each and every page of his masterpiece, Family of Secrets, he explodes the myths and lies that powerful forces have perpetrated on the American consciousness. He digs beneath the surface in a form of journalistic archeology to reveal the hidden history of one of America's most powerful families, leaving no stone unturned.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 465
D-Day, June 6, 1944, and the 76 days of bitter fighting in Normandy that followed the Allied landing, have become the defining episode of World War II in the west - the object of books, films, television series, and documentaries. Yet as familiar as it is, as James Holland makes clear in his definitive history, many parts of the OVERLORD campaign, as it was known, are still shrouded in myth and assumed knowledge.
