In 2017 is het honderd jaar geleden dat de Russische Revolutie plaatsvond. Weinig mensen zijn zich er tegenwoordig nog van bewust hoe belangrijk deze gebeurtenis was voor de wereldgeschiedenis in de twintigste eeuw, en hoeveel invloed de Revolutie zelfs nog op onze tijd heeft. De directe gevolgen van de Revolutie waren schokkend: de communistische overwinnaars van 1917 creëerden een onvergelijkelijk bloedige dictatuur. Vrijwel net zo schokkend is het dat het Russische voorbeeld navolging vond, zoals in China en Cambodja in de jaren zestig en zeventig van de twintigste eeuw. REVOLJOETSIJA! gaat in op het ontstaan van de Russische Revolutie en haar gevolgen. Een van de centrale thema's die Kees Boterbloem bespreekt, is dat in Rusland en de Sovjetunie op cruciale momenten een ander pad van historische ontwikkeling had kunnen worden ingeslagen. Dat had de verschrikkelijke geschiedenis vanaf 1914 en de faliekante mislukking van het Sovjet-project vanaf 1917 een andere wending kunnen geven.

Offering a comprehensive and structured analysis of the reasons why the EU lacks external coherence towards Russia, this book presents important new insights to the topic beyond conventional institutionalist arguments. The author utilises key cases in external energy and human rights policies to highlight the on-going difficulties in creating a coherent position, despite the EU's formally stated objective to achieve this. Providing new avenues to understanding the meaning of coherence, the book explores why this frequently used term is undefined and why it became a guiding principle in EU foreign policy. The author includes a thorough overview of how the EU's institutional architecture and successive reforms have been designed to improve external coherence, and highlights elements that impede this aim. Placing the challenges in the EU-Russia relationship into their historical context, the book demonstrates that the quest for coherence is not a marginal normative claim, but practically incorporated into EU's foreign policy.

This two-volume travelogue recounts the diplomatic mission through Central Asia and Russia undertaken by James Abbott (1807-96) in 1839. An officer in the Bengal Artillery, Abbott first travelled to Central Asia in 1838 and was soon drawn into the 'Great Game' between Russia and Britain as they struggled for influence in the region. When Russia launched an expedition against Khiva in 1839, ostensibly to free Russian slaves, Abbott was sent there to advise the Khan and then travelled to Russia to initiate mediation. While the Russian slaves were freed by Abbott's successor, Abbott believed he had succeeded and published this account in 1843. The work includes anecdotes of his experiences and observations on the cultures and landscapes he encountered. In Volume 2, he chronicles his journey to St Petersburg via Moscow and recounts his general impressions of Russia.
