The Emancipation of the Serfs in Russia
In the wake of the disastrous Crimean War, the Russian autocracy completely renovated its most basic social, political and economic systems by emancipating some 23 million privately-owned serfs. This had enormous consequences for all aspects of Russian life, and profound effects on the course of Russian history. This book examines the emancipation of the serfs, focusing on the mechanisms used to enact the reforms and the implications for Russian politics and society in the long term. Because the autocracy lacked the necessary resources for the reform, it created new institutions with real powers and autonomy, particularly the mirovoi posrednik, or 'peace arbitrator'. The results of this strategy differed in practice from the authorities’ original intentions. The new institutions invigorated Russian political life, introduced norms that challenged centuries-old customs and traditions, and fostered a nascent civil society, allowing Russia to follow the basic trajectory of Western European socio-political development.
Road to Victory
"Road to Victory: Jewish Soldiers of the 16th Lithuanian Division is one of the few books written about Eastern European Jews who volunteered to fight as soldiers during World War II. The book contains first-person accounts about the participation of Lithuanian Jews who fought in the 16th Lithuanian Division of the Red Army. Through their accounts they represent the large corps of 4,500 Jewish fighters--men and women alike--who took arms in the battlefields of World War II in order to destroy the enemy as well as to liberate the remnants of Lithuanian Jewry--the survivors of the Shoah. A good number of stories are written by or about women who fought in the war. Professor Dov Levin, himself a partisan and possibly the world authority on the Jews of Lithuania, wrote the first article in the book. In addition to the personal accounts, there is a yizkor (memorial) section listing 1,215 soldiers who died, giving their name, father's given name, year of birth, rank, date and place of death. All told some 2,500 people are mentioned in the book. There is an index of persons (yizkor section excluded)."--Publisher description.
