La quatrième de couverture indique : "Monarque guerrier et voyageur, Pierre le Grand a parcouru le monde pendant près de quatre décennies, de la mer Caspienne, de la Hollande à la Moldavie, de l'Angleterre à la Perse. Il a effectué deux longs voyages en Europe occidentale, le premier en 1697-1698, le second, vingt ans plus tard, en 1716-1717. Au cours de ce second voyage, Pierre séjourne en France durant deux mois, d'avril à juin 1717. Deux ans après la mort de Louis XIV, il découvre le royaume le plus peuplé d'Occident, rencontre le jeune Louis XV, négocie avec le régent Philippe d'Orléans, fréquente les hommes d'Etat, les savants, les techniciens et les artistes. Animé d'une curiosité universelle, Pierre visite les palais et les manufactures, les fortifications et les bibliothèques, les églises et les académies. A pied ou en fiacre, il se promène dans les rues de Paris et fait le tour des maisons royales d'Ile-de-France : Versailles, Trianon, Marly, Saint-Germain, Fontainebleau. Pierre Ier et sa suite acquièrent des livres, des objets d'art, des instruments scientifiques, qu'ils rapportent en Russie en même temps que les présents diplomatiques du gouvernement français. Visites et discussions avec les Français alimenteront la réflexion du tsar réformateur et influenceront les travaux qu'il entreprend depuis 1703 à Saint-Pétersbourg et dans ses environs. Ce catalogue, et l'exposition qu'il accompagne, commémorent le tricentenaire de ce voyage de 1717, rencontre d'un vieux royaume et d'un empire naissant, véritable acte fondateur des échanges culturels entre la Russie et la France."

The Russian Revolution of 1917 transformed the face of the Russian empire, politically, economically, socially, and culturally, and also profoundly affected the course of world history for the rest of the twentieth century. Now, to mark the centenary of this epochal event, historian Steve Smith presents a panoramic account of the history of the Russian empire, from the last years of the nineteenth century, through the First World War and the revolutions of 1917 and the establishment of the Bolshevik regime, to the end of the 1920s, when Stalin simultaneously unleashed violent collectivization of agriculture and crash industrialization upon Russian society. Drawing on recent archivally-based scholarship, Russia in Revolution pays particular attention to the varying impact of the Revolution on the various groups that made up society: peasants, workers, non-Russian nationalities, the army, women and the family, young people, and the Church. In doing so, it provides a fresh way into the big, perennial questions about the Revolution and its consequences: why did the attempt by the tsarist government to implement political reform after the 1905 Revolution fail; why did the First World War bring about the collapse of the tsarist system; why did the attempt to create a democratic system after the February Revolution of 1917 not get off the ground; why did the Bolsheviks succeed in seizing and holding on to power; why did they come out victorious from a punishing civil war; why did the New Economic Policy they introduced in 1921 fail; and why did Stalin come out on top in the power struggle inside the Bolshevik party after Lenin's death in 1924. A final chapter then reflects on the larger significance of 1917 for the history of the twentieth century - and, for all its terrible flaws, what the promise of the Revolution might mean for us today.

In this new Brookings Marshall Paper, Michael O'Hanlon argues that now is the time for Western nations to negotiate a new security architecture for neutral countries in eastern Europe to stabilize the region and reduce the risks of war with Russia. He believes NATO expansion has gone far enough. The core concept of this new security architecture would be one of permanent neutrality. The countries in question collectively make a broken-up arc, from Europe's far north to its south: Finland and Sweden; Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus; Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan; and finally Cyprus plus Serbia, as well as possibly several other Balkan states. Discussion on the new framework should begin within NATO, followed by deliberation with the neutral countries themselves, and then formal negotiations with Russia. The new security architecture would require that Russia, like NATO, commit to help uphold the security of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and other states in the region. Russia would have to withdraw its troops from those countries in a verifiable manner; after that, corresponding sanctions on Russia would be lifted. The neutral countries would retain their rights to participate in multilateral security operations on a scale comparable to what has been the case in the past, including even those operations that might be led by NATO. They could think of and describe themselves as Western states (or anything else, for that matter). If the European Union and they so wished in the future, they could join the EU. They would have complete sovereignty and self-determination in every sense of the word. But NATO would decide not to invite them into the alliance as members. Ideally, these nations would endorse and promote this concept themselves as a more practical way to ensure their security than the current situation or any other plausible alternative.

In this work, the oxide material Li???Al?Ti???(PO?)? (LATP) is extensively investigated with the scope of using it as a solid state electrolyte. Starting with the synthesis of raw LATP material by sol-gel process, the whole production process of LATP is analyzed, including powder conditioning and sintering of ceramic samples.

Groundbreaking new insight into a rich spectrum of early Soviet art and its spaces of display Published on the centenary of the Russian Revolution, this landmark book gathers information from the forefront of current research in early Soviet art, providing a new understanding of where art was presented, who saw it, and how the images incorporated and conveyed Soviet values. More than 350 works are grouped into areas of critical importance for the production, reception, and circulation of early Soviet art: battlegrounds, schools, theaters, the press, storefronts, exhibitions, factories, festivals, and homes. Paintings by El Lissitzky and Liubov Popova are joined by sculptures, costumes and textiles, decorative arts, architectural models, books, magazines, films, and more. Also included are rare and important artifacts, among them a selection of illustrated children?s notes by Joseph Stalin?s daughter, Svetlana Allilueva, as well as reproductions of key exhibition spaces such as the legendary Obmokhu (Constructivist) exhibition in 1921; Aleksandr Rodchenko?s Workers Club in 1925; and a Radio-Orator kiosk for live, projected, and printed propaganda designed by Gustav Klutsis in 1922. Bountifully illustrated, this book offers an unprecedented, cross-disciplinary analysis of two momentous decades of Soviet visual culture.
