Les relations entre le "capitaine" Staline et son équipe expliquées pour la première fois : une approche résolument novatrice du gouvernement de l'union soviétique. « Une nouvelle approche pertinente pour comprendre la dynamique de groupe qui a soutenu le pouvoir de Staline. » - The Times Literary Supplement L'omniprésence de Staline au sein de l'Union soviétique a longtemps été l'alpha et l'oméga des réflexions sur le fonctionnement politique de l'État rouge. C'était passer à côté d'un phénomène resté jusqu'ici très largement inaperçu : l'importance et les responsabilités d'un groupe d'hommes fidèles et remarquablement efficaces depuis la fin des années 1920 jusqu'à la mort du dictateur en 1953. En s'appuyant sur une vaste documentation issue des archives russes récemment déclassifiées, Sheila Fitzpatrick offre la première recherche sur cette dizaine de camarades dévoués, qui travaillaient étroitement avec leur chef, étaient écoutés de lui et constituaient son cercle familial et social. Cette équipe, dont Staline était le capitaine, comprenait notamment son dauphin, Molotov, resté à ses côtés, alors même que sa femme était arrêtée et exilée ; Beria, rusé chef du sinistre NKVD ; Ordjonikidzé, qui dirigeait le complexe industriel soviétique avec un flair entrepreneurial remarquable ; Andreev, qui orchestrait les grandes purges provinciales tout en écoutant Beethoven sur un Gramophone portable ; ou encore Khrouchtchev, qui démantèlera finalement l'équipe quatre ans après la mort du Vodj. Ainsi se dessine une tout autre image de Staline, replacé dans son milieu, mais également des dignitaires de l'Union soviétique, acteurs engagés de la révolution prolétarienne. Notre compréhension de la façon dont l'Union soviétique a été gouvernée pendant la plus grande partie de son existence s'en trouve radicalement transformée.

"Today, the 80-mile long Moscow Canal is a source of leisure for Muscovites, a conduit for tourists and provides the city with more than 60% of its potable water. Yet the past looms heavy over these quotidian activities: the canal was built by Gulag inmates at the height of Stalinism and thousands died in the process. In this wide-ranging book, Cynthia Ruder argues that the construction of the canal physically manifests Stalinist ideology and that the vertical, horizontal, underwater, ideological, artistic, and metaphorical spaces created by it resonate with the desire of the state to dominate all space within and outside the Soviet Union. Ruder draws on theoretical constructs from cultural geography and spatial studies to interpret and contextualize a variety of structural and cultural products dedicated to, and in praise of, this signature Stalinist construction project. Approached through an extensive range of archival sources, personal interviews, and contemporary documentary materials, these include a diverse body of artefacts - from waterways, structures, paintings, sculptures, literary, and documentary works, and the Gulag itself. Building Stalinism concludes by analyzing current efforts to reclaim the legacy of the canal as a memorial space that ensures that those who suffered and died building it are remembered. Essential reading for all scholars working on the all-pervasive nature of Stalinism and its complex afterlife in Russia today."--

One of the most important books ever written about the Soviet Union, The Great Terror revealed to the West for the first time the true extent and nature Stalin's purges in the 1930s, in which around a million people were tortured and executed or sent to labour camps on political grounds. Its publication caused a widespread reassessment of Communism itself. This definitive fiftieth anniversary edition gathers together the wealth of material added by the author in the decades following its first publication and features a new foreword by leading historian Anne Applebaum, explaining the continued relevance of this momentous period of history and of this classic account.

A stunningly original study of Stalinist society... Essential reading for anyone interested in how human beings navigate a path through times of extraordinary upheaval, privation and danger' - Daniel Beer In the shadow of the Gulag, Soviet citizens were still cracking jokes. They had to. Drawing on diaries, interviews, memoirs and hundreds of previously secret documents, It's Only a Joke, Comrade! uncovers how they joked, coped, and struggled to adapt in Stalin's brave new world. It asks what it really means to live under a dictatorship: How do people make sense of their lives? How do they talk about it? And whom can they trust to do so?

Die nationale Identitätsbildung in Tadschikistan wird mit zahlreichen historischen Ereignissen verknüpft, die Größe, Macht und Stabilität symbolisieren sollen. Das nationale Selbstverständnis in der ehemaligen Sowjetrepublik Tadschikistan hat sich seit der Unabhängigkeit grundlegend verändert. Der Vergleich zwischen der sowjetisch- und der postsowjetisch geprägten Generation in Tadschikistan offenbart diesen Wandel. Zurückzuführen ist dies auf den nationalpolitischen Kurs der tadschikischen Regierung, die mittels einer Vielzahl von Kampagnen ein pronationales Selbstverständnis fördert, indem sie ethnische Minderheiten aus dem Nationsbildungsprozess ausschließt und zunehmender Diskriminierung aussetzt. Die nationale Abgrenzungspolitik der Regierung gefährdet damit nicht nur die innere Stabilität Tadschikistans, sondern auch die Beziehungen zum Nachbarstaat Usbekistan.

In 1932-33, nearly four million Ukrainians died of starvation, having been deliberately deprived of food. Red Famine shows how this happened, who was responsible, and what the consequences were. The book draws on a mass of archival material and first-hand testimony. It includes accounts by survivors describing what human beings can do when driven mad by hunger. It shows how the Soviet state used propaganda to turn neighbours against each other in order to expunge supposedly 'anti-revolutionary' elements. It also records the actions of extraordinary individuals who did all they could to relieve the suffering. The famine was rapidly followed by an attack on Ukraine's cultural and political leadership - and then by a denial that it had ever happened. The Soviet authorities were determined not only that Ukraine should abandon its national aspirations, but that the country's true history should be buried along with its millions of victims. Red Famine, a triumph of scholarship and human sympathy, is a milestone in the recovery of those memories and that history.
