Nikolai Zabolotsky
Sarah Pratt traces interwoven questions in the work of Nikolai Zabolotsky, a figure ranking just behind Pasternak, Mandelstram and Akhmatova in modern Russian poetry and the first major poet to come to light in the Soviet period.

UNODC-WHO Stop-Overdose-Safely (S-O-S) project implementation in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine
This report details the main findings of the implementation of the WHO-UNODC Stop-Overdose-Safely (S-O-S) project in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine. It provides an overview of the extent of the overdose problem and the development of responses, followed by a description of the methods used in implementation, monitoring and evaluation as measured through a prospective cohort study, focus groups, and qualitative interviews conducted in the four project countries. The S-O-S project resulted in the rapid distribution of take-home naloxone to 14,263 potential opioid overdose witnesses who were trained during the eight-month implementation phase. The cohort study found that 34.5% (out of 1388 study participants) witnessed an overdose during the implementation phase, and 90% of them reported using naloxone in cases of overdose. In almost all instances it was recorded that the victim survived (in 98.3% cases). Extrapolation of the naloxone use figures from the cohort study to the entire S-O-S project sample suggested that the implementation may have resulted in naloxone administration by as many as 4,388 individuals, with many lives saved as a result.
An Imaginary Cinema
An Imaginary Cinema is the first systematic study of Sergei Eisenstein's unrealized films as well as a deeply informed historical and theoretical inquiry into the role and meaning of the unmade in his oeuvre. Eisenstein directed some of the twentieth century's most important films, from the early classic of montage, Battleship Potemkin, to his late masterpiece, Ivan the Terrible. Alongside these, however, the Soviet filmmaker also toiled over a compelling array of unrealized projects, from ideas that never grew beyond complex, passionate notebook scrawls and sketches to productions that were mounted and shot to some degree of completion without ever being finished. Working from the archival ...

Community Management of Opioid Overdose
An estimated 69000 people die each year from opioid overdose. Opioid overdose is easily reversed with the opioid antidote naloxone and with basic life support. Such care is generally only available in medical settings, however. These guidelines recommend that people who are likely to witness an opioid overdose, including people who use opioids, and their family and friends should be given access to naloxone and training in its use so that they can respond to opioid overdose in an emergency if a medical response is not available. Naloxone can be injected or administered intra-nasally and has minimal effects in people who have not used opioids. While naloxone administered by bystanders is a potentially life-saving emergency interim response to opioid overdose, it should not be seen as a replacement for comprehensive medical care.
The Phoenix of Philosophy
This groundbreaking work by one of the world's foremost theoreticians of Russian literature, culture, and thought gives for the first time an extensive and detailed examination of the development of Russian thought during the late Soviet period. Countering the traditional view of an intellectual wilderness under the Soviet regime, Mikhail Epstein offers a systematic account of Russian thought in the second half of the 20th century. In doing so, he provides new insights into previously ignored areas such as Russian liberalism, personalism, structuralism, neo–rationalism, and culturology. Epstein shows how Russian philosophy and culture has long been trapped in an intellectual prison of its own making as it sought to create its own utopia. However, he demonstrates that it is time to reappraise Russian philosophical thought and cultural theory, now freed from the bonds of totalitarianism. We are left with not only a new and exciting interpretation of Russian thought, but also an opportunity to rethink our own intellectual heritage.
