The Rooster House
Radio 4 Book of the Week 'A beautiful insight into a nation beyond war headlines' Independent 'A captivating family memoir spanning four generations... Belim blends the personal and the historical to tell a moving, century-long tale of fear, hardship and resilience' The i 'Wild swans for Ukraine... an enthralling, multilayered family story, told across four generations. Rich and magnificent. A marvel' Bookseller In 2014, while the Russian state was annexing Crimea, Victoria Belim came across her great-grandfather's diary, one page scored deep with the single line: 'Brother Nikodim, vanished in the 1930s fighting for a free Ukraine.' She had never heard of this uncle and no one - especially her grandmother - seemed willing to tell her about him. Victoria became obsessed with recovering his story. In the end, her winding search took her back to the place she had always known it would - to the Rooster House, an elegant mansion in the Ukrainian city of Poltava with two voluptuous red roosters flanking the door, and dark truths contained in its basement.
Aufstieg und Fall der Piratenpartei: Der Entwicklungsprozess der Piratenpartei seit ihrer Gründung
Die Piraten zogen schon früh das mediale Interesse auf sich und fallen seit ihrer Gründung immer wieder durch diverse Aktionen auf, über die die Medien gerne berichten. Doch derzeit befinden sich die Piraten in einer medialen Ebbe, da das Interesse um die jungen Wilden des deutschen Parteiensystems stark zurückgegangen ist. In dieser Untersuchung wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich die deutschen Piraten bereits im Prozess des Kenterns befinden. Um diese Frage zu erörtern, werden in verschiedenen Kapiteln unterschiedliche Aspekte, wie die Gründung der Partei, innerparteiliche Demokratie oder Organisation sowie die Wähler- und Sympathisantenstruktur präsentiert, erläutert und dann im Schlusskapitel in den Kontext eingebettet.

Minha Ucrânia
Entrelaçando fatos do passado para compreender o presente e a si mesma, Victoria Belim faz de Minha Ucrânia um testemunho do poder do amor e da esperança em tempos difíceis.

Guestbook contains ghost stories for a world of images and captions, in which the ghosts are all of us, and our strange time' Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?
Meuterei auf der Deutschland
Während die einen die Erfolge der Piraten als den längst überfälligen Einbruch des digitalen Zeitalters in die parlamentarische Wirklichkeit feiern, spotten andere über politische Dilettanten, braune Irrläufer und Demokratievorstellungen, die genauso flüssig wie inhaltsleer sind. Inmitten dieser oft polemisch geführten Debatte werfen die Autoren einen klaren analytischen Blick auf Ursprünge, Funktionsweise und Ziele dieser Anti-Parteien-Partei. Sie bieten Einblicke in prekäre Finanzen und die Arbeit einer Organisation, in der basispartizipatorische Grundsätze und die Notwendigkeit programmatischer Willensbildung sich nicht immer reibungslos vereinbaren lassen. Dabei fördern sie außerdem Parallelen zur Entwicklung der Grünen zutage. Das Ergebnis: Die Piraten lassen sich nicht auf ihr Interesse an »Netzpolitik« reduzieren. Vielmehr konfrontieren sie das krisengeplagte System der repräsentativen Demokratie mit seinen Schwächen – ohne den Anspruch zu erheben, über die richtigen Antworten zu verfügen.
