Golden Years of Moscow Mathematics
This volume contains articles on the history of Soviet mathematics, many of which are personal accounts by mathematicians who witnessed and contributed to the turbulent and glorious years of Moscow mathematics. The articles in the book focus on mathematical developments in that era, the personal lives of Russian mathematicians, and political events that shaped the course of scientific work in the Soviet Union. Important contributions include an article about Luzin and his school, based in part on documents that were released only after perestroika, and two articles on Kolmogorov. The volume concludes with annotated bibliographies in English and Russian for further reading. The revised edition is appended by an article of Tikhomirov, which provides an update and general overview of 20th-century Moscow mathematics, and it also includes an Index of Names. This book should appeal to mathematicians, historians, and anyone else interested in Soviet mathematical history.
St Petersburg and the Russian Court, 1703-1761
This book focuses on the city of St Petersburg, the capital of the Russian empire from the early eighteenth century until the fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1917. It uses the Russian court as a prism through which to view the various cultural changes that were introduced in the city during the eighteenth century.
The Preobrazhensky Papers
Historians generally recognise E.A. Preobrazhensky as the most famous Soviet economist of the 1920s. English-language readers know him best as author of The New Economics and co-author (with N.I. Bukharin ) of The ABC of Communism. The documents in this volume, many newly discovered and almost all translated into English for the first time, reveal a Preobrazhensky previously unknown, whose interests ranged far beyond economics to include not only party debates and issues affecting the lives of workers and peasants, but also philosophy, world events, and Russian history, culture and politics. Including moments of triumph and tragedy, they tell an intimate story of political awakening and of commitment to socialist revolution as the path to human dignity.
Daring to touch Radha
Detective stories usually describe events and conversations, and one only learns what the heroes were thinking at the end. The present work is my confession. I tried to convey events and conversations faithfully, but I still don't know what was hidden behind them. So there will be no solution of the mystery at the end. I tried to be exact in quoting direct speech. Perhaps I have forgotten something, rendered a confused story or missed some facts, but that is not very likely. It would be interesting to compare my account with recordings of conversations made at the time. I believe a comparison would show that the wording was identical; nevertheless, I wonder whether all this could be true. Could it really have been a murder? Actually it is not so important. Or, to be more precise, important only to me. In any case, having put it all down on paper, I experienced a certain relief. It is the relief of a person who screams instead of clenching his teeth. But, of course, one should be ashamed of screaming.
