        Securitising Russia

        The domestic politics of Vladimir Putin

        by Bettina Renz, Edwin Bacon, Julian Cooper

        Securitising Russia shows the impact of twenty-first-century security concerns on the way Russia is ruled. It demonstrates how President Putin has wrestled with terrorism, immigration, media freedom, religious pluralism, and economic globalism, and argues that fears of a return to old-style authoritarianism oversimplify the complex context of contemporary Russia. The book focuses on the internal security issues common to many states in the early twenty-first-century, and places them in the particular context of Russia. Detailed analysis of the place of security in Russia's political discourse and policy-making reveals nuances often missing from overarching assessments of Russia today. To characterise the Putin regime as the 'KGB-resurgent' is to miss vital continuities, contexts, and on-going political conflicts which make up the contemporary Russian scene. Securitising Russia draws together current debates about whether Russia is a 'normal' country developing its own democratic and market structures, or a nascent authoritarian regime returning to the past. ;

        The case of Vasyl Stus

        by Vakhtanh Kipiani

        Poet and civil rights activist Vasyl Stus (1938-1985) could not attend any of his book presentations. He published his literary works only abroad. Participation in the movement of protesters to the Russification and anti-Ukrainian politics and an active people’s rights protection stance led Stus to the court bench to times and both for the anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda. This book contains documents from a six-volume criminal case, which is stored on the shelves of the former Committee for State Security archive of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in Kyiv. The book contains archival documents of the case of Vasyl Stus (records of searches, interrogations, letters, articles, etc.), photographs, articles wrote by Vakhtang Kipiani. The last lifetime notes of Stus are also added - "From the camp notebook", secretly passed to his friends from the soviet camp. Preface to the book is written by Vakhtang Kipiani.

        There is a Land Beyond Perekop

        by Anastasia Levkova

        Crimea. It was here that the main character of the novel spent her childhood, youth and met first love. It was here that she realized that she is Ukrainian. Neither grandfather, lieutenant colonel of the KGB, nor Russian blood in his veins stood in the way of her self-identification. The novel intertwines Crimean Tatar culture, Ukrainian history and family skeletons in closets like an ornament. Together with the main character and her friends, Aliye who is a Crimean Tatar, and Alyona who is a Ukrainian, the reader travels a long way from their childhood to the present — the occupation of the peninsula by Russia. «There is a land beyond Perekop» is an ode to Crimea. Not to its natural beauty and uniqueness, but to people. This is an attempt to open the mainland for Crimea, and Crimea for the mainland. After all, there is land both there and there. It should be known and stitched.

        Germany's Russia problem

        The struggle for balance in Europe

        by John Lough

        The relationship between Germany and Russia is Europe's most important link with the largest country on the continent. But despite Germany's unparalleled knowledge and historical experience, its policymakers struggle to accept that Moscow's efforts to rebalance Europe at the cost of the cohesion of the EU and NATO are an attack on Germany's core interests. This book explains the scale of the challenge facing Germany in managing relations with a changing Russia. It analyses how successive German governments from 1991 to 2014 misread Russian intentions, until Angela Merkel sharply recalibrated German and EU policy towards Moscow. The book also examines what lies behind efforts to revise Merkel's bold policy shift, including attitudes inherited from the GDR and the role of Russian influence channels in Germany.

        Der Dreh von Inkarnation

        Roman | Eine Reise durch unsere flirrende Gegenwart und über geopolitische Verwerfungslinien

        by Tom McCarthy, Ulrich Blumenbach

        Tief in den Archiven der Zeit- und Bewegungspionierin Lillian Gilbreth liegt ein Geheimnis. Berühmt für die Herstellung solider Lichtspuren, die die Bewegungsmuster von Arbeitern aufzeichnen, hatte Gilbreth, zur Begeisterung von NASA und KGB, die Möglichkeiten von Massenüberwachung und Big Data revolutioniert. Aber hatte sie, wie sie in einem ihrer Briefe andeutet, gegen Ende ihres Lebens tatsächlich auch ein »perfektes« Uhrwerk entdeckt, das »alles verändern« würde?Eine weltumspannende Jagd beginnt, nach dieser einen Box, die in ihrem Nachlass fehlt, und wir folgen einem jungen Bewegungserfassungsforscher namens Mark Phocan durch unsere flirrende Gegenwart, über geopolitische Verwerfungslinien und durch Experimentierzonen und mitten hinein in die Dreharbeiten zum Blockbuster-Film Inkarnation, einer epischen Weltraumtragödie, die endgültig die Geheimnisse menschlicher Erfahrung lüften soll... Der Dreh von Inkarnation ist eine hellsichtige Breitwand-Odyssee durch medizinische Labore, Computergrafikstudios und militärische Forschungseinrichtungen, dunkle Orte, an denen die Grenzen unserer Möglichkeiten – zu unterhalten, zu verstehen, zu heilen, zu töten – ständig getestet und weiter verfeinert werden.

        Moscoviada

        Roman

        by Juri Andruchowytsch, Sabine Stöhr, Juri Andruchowytsch

        Otto von F., Literaturstudent aus der Westukraine, lebt in Moskau, dem »fauligen Herzen des halbtoten Imperiums«. Im Wohnheim des Gorki-Instituts hocken die poetischen Hoffnungen aus der sowjetischen Provinz aufeinander, künftige Vertreter der jungen Nationalliteraturen, die Gedichte in mittelalterlichem Jiddisch, ukrainische Verspoeme und usbekische Songstrophen verfassen. Es ist Anfang der neunziger Jahre, die Stimmung gereizt, der Wodka knapp … An einem nassen Maitag zieht er los, um Geschenke in der »Kinderwelt« zu besorgen, dem Kaufhaus direkt neben dem KGB-Gefängnis Lubjanka. Er verirrt sich in Fluren und Treppenhäusern, landet in den Tunneln der Kanalisation und gerät in die Gewalt von Geheimdienstbeamten, die hier unten ein Rattenheer züchten. Was Otto von F. in den Katakomben unter dem Kreml und auf den Gleisen der geheimen Regierungsmetro widerfährt, das erzählt sein Vergil durch die Hölle Moskaus, Juri Andruchowytsch, mit Sarkasmus und groteskem Witz. Moscoviada, Andruchowytschs erfolgreichstes Buch, ist von überraschender Aktualität. Das neoautoritäre Rußland, der eifernde Nationalismus, die Verklärung der kommunistischen Epoche, der chauvinistische Kitsch, der ideologische Druck – all diese Gespenster werden in einem karnevalesken Spektakel unter panischem Gelächter zum Teufel gejagt.

        Maror

        Thriller

        by Lavie Tidhar, Thomas Wörtche, Conny Lösch

        Israel, 1974-2008. Zwei Polizisten führen uns durch fast vier Jahrzehnte israelischer Geschichte. Cohen, der Strippenzieher im Hintergrund, und Avi Sagi, der den korrumpierenden Versuchungen seines Jobs nicht widerstehen kann. Diese Geschichte ist die dunkle Geschichte Israels. Der Patriot Cohen kennt nur eine Aufgabe – seinen Staat zu beschützen, auch wenn er dafür die bittersten Realitäten akzeptieren muss und gnadenlos danach handelt. Cohen und Sagi haben es mit jüdischen, arabischen und türkischen Gangstern, mit der CIA und dem KGB, mit den Contras und den Kartellen, mit militanten Orthodoxen und anderen Playern mehr zu tun. Cohen versucht, »die Dinge in der Balance zu halten«, und kennt dabei keine Grenzen. Tidhar entwirft ein gewaltiges, kaleidoskopisches Panorama aus politischen Skandalen, Korruption, Mord und Verbrechen auf staatlicher und privater Ebene, das sich auch auf die weltweiten Aktivitäten Israels bezieht. Ein Epos, das zu Recht mit Balzac und Dickens verglichen wurde. Ein Epos auch über Moral und Realpolitik, eine Art Chronique scandaleuse Israels und ein grimmiges, schwarz-humoriges Plädoyer für dessen Existenzrecht. Maror eben, wie die bitteren Kräuter auf dem Sederteller: »Mit bitteren Kräutern sollen sie es essen.« (Exodus, 12:8)

        Behind the Scenes of the Empire: Essays on Cultural Relationships between Ukraine and Russia

        by Vira Ageyeva

        Much has already been written about Ukrainian-Russian relations in the context of Russian interests and priorities. Russia unceremoniously ennobled its history with other people's achievements while depriving Ukrainians of their past. From the Ukrainian's perspective, the story is completely different. For centuries Ukrainian literature has been involved in the anti-colonial discourse. From Kotlyarevsky, Kvitka-Osnovianenko, Kharkiv romantics to the era of modernism and eventually the emergence of contemporary Ukraine, it offered various models of identity, denying imperial claims and asserting its own cultural sufficiency. In this book, the authoritative literary critic Vira Ageyeva analyses the Ukrainian resistance to imperialism and the struggle of Ukraine for the preservation of it's collective memory through the prism of the cultural process.

        Union of Soviet Things

        by Petro Yatsenko

        The soviet realia are not entirely clear to modern adolescents. Childhood in the late Soviet Union was not like it is now. Back in those days, everything was different and even scary to some point: a premonition of the nuclear war, propaganda, shortages, and confusing household items. The main characters of the book, a teenage Matvii and his father Petro, go to Lviv to visit their grandmother. There are still heaps of Soviet things in her ceiling cabinet and they are good at telling stories. Paretns are good at this as well, if you ask them well. The book gives a reason to talk about feelings of nostalgia and values.

        Taste of the Soviet Union: Food and Eaters in the Art of Life and the Art of Cinema (mid-1960s - mid-1980s)

        Taste of the Soviet Union: Food and Eaters in the Art of Life and the Art of Cinema (mid-1960s - mid-1980s)

        by Olena Stiazhkina

        This book is about Soviet people - women, men, children - who ate at home, at work, on the road, in kindergartens and schools, in the system of the Soviet canteens. It describes those who fought for their food in long queues to the empty shops, at collective farm markets, gathered it in their own gardens, obtained it through bribes and barter exchanges and stole it at workplaces. It is about those who created the food surpluses in the system of the shadow economy and about those who refused food as a way of rebellion against the system and about those who managed to preserve national cuisine despite its deliberate extermination by the Bolsheviks and calling national dishes "simple nationalism." Food culture is considered not only as a sign of the late Soviet consumer revolution, but also as one of the powerful mechanisms of social engineering and (self) coercion. The real world of Soviet eaters is analysed together with the artistic world where filmmakers created and broadcasted the images of Soviet food, as an object representing repressive society in which taste was as problematic and almost unattainable as food and freedom associated with taste and choice.

        The Moscow Factor: US Policy toward Sovereign Ukraine and the Kremlin

        by Eugene M. Fishel

        24 February 2022 was not the beginning of Russia's war on Ukraine. Back in 2014, Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine, bolstered a separatist conflict in the Donbas region, and attacked Ukraine with units of its regular army and special forces. In each instance of Russian aggression, the U.S. response has often been criticized as inadequate, insufficient, or hesitant. The Moscow Factor: U.S. Policy toward Sovereign Ukraine and the Kremlin is a unique study that examines four key Ukraine-related policy decisions across two Republican and two Democratic U.S. administrations. Author Eugene M. Fishel asks whether, how, and under what circumstances Washington has considered Ukraine’s status as a sovereign nation in its decision-making regarding relations with Moscow. This study situates the stance of the United States toward Ukraine in the broader context of international relations. It fills an important lacuna in existing scholarship and policy discourse by focusing on the complex trilateral—rather than simply bilateral—dynamics among the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia, in 1991–2016. This book brings together for the first time documentary evidence and declassified materials dealing with policy deliberation, retrospective articles authored by former policymakers, and formal memoirs by erstwhile senior officials. The study is also supplemented by open-ended interviews with former and returning officials.
