The Witch
Fifteen fascinating stories of peasant life, each arresting in theme and done in the celebrated Russian author's best manner.
HONOR and HEROISM
For the Montenegrins of old, it was not their signature that was the ultimate moral bond, but their given word, (the word of honor). In his Honor and Heroism, Marko Miljanov Popovich, (1833—1901), the Duke of Montenegro, describes the events, depicting honor and heroism of his Montenegrin Serbs and other ethnicities: Albanians, Vlachs, and others. Marko Miljanov Popovich gives us the moral lecture: Honor—protecting others from yourself; heroism—protecting yourself from others.

The Complete Short Novels
In the stories by Anton Chekhov there is no seriousness of the plot, as in Dostoevsky’s novels, but together with simplicity and funny side of everyday life Chekhov’s characters are not less dramatic or deep. However, polished sarcasm is not an obstacle for Chekhov to show his characters in a warm and realistic way. There is no grotesque of Saltikov-Schedrin who turns people into images; we can recognise an ordinary modern man on the pages of Chekhov’s stories.

The Kirov Murder and Soviet History
Drawing on hundreds of newly available, top-secret KGB and party Central Committee documents, historian Matthew E. Lenoe reexamines the 1934 assassination of Leningrad party chief Sergei Kirov. Joseph Stalin used the killing as the pretext to unleash the Great Terror that decimated the Communist elite in 1937–1938; these previously unavailable documents raise new questions about whether Stalin himself ordered the murder, a subject of speculation since 1938.The book includes translations of 125 documents from the various investigations of the Kirov murder, allowing readers to reach their own conclusions about Stalin’s involvement in the assassination.
Stories (130+)
Stories by Anton Chekhov are short, but deep idea and complexity of literature composition are hidden behind their simplicity. Compactness, outstanding humour, irony and rich content make the stories unique with no equals in the world literature. Maksim Gorky wrote: “Nobody but Anton Chekhov understood so clearly and delicately the tragedy of little things of life, nobody before him could so grimly and truthfully describe people shameful and sad picture of their life in a dim chaos of bourgeois commonness.” Contents: THE WITCH PEASANT WIVES THE POST THE NEW VILLA DREAMS THE PIPE AGAFYA AT CHRISTMAS TIME GUSEV THE STUDENT IN THE RAVINE THE HUNTSMAN HAPPINESS A MALEFACTOR PEASANTS THE WIFE...
