Mrs. Johnson doesn’t believe in God. She is way too educated and enlightened to believe in such things, plus she is progressively liberal in her morals and stubbornly independent. Upon further questioning, I discovered that Mrs. Johnson had no good alternative explanations for the existence of what we experience as reality. Moreover, it appeared that she did not care and was content to never concern herself with such matters. She was of the general opinion that science had explained everything, and therefore God was totally unnecessary. To which I responded that scientists have done no such thing and are no closer to answering any of the questions that really matter. I informed her that sc...
I was raised in a Christian family of 15 children. I wrote this true story about my family how the KGB tortured us with experimental drugs, because my father Vladimir Khailo wanted a freedom of Faith. Behind the closed "Iron Curtain," the KGB persecuted faithful Christians including my parents. My parents started an Independent Church in our house. In doing so, our family was subjected to intense persecution by the KGB. For seven years, my father was tortured for Christ with experimental drugs in one of the strictest psychiatric prisons in the Soviet Union, where he spent his time with mass-murderers and the KGB had used bio-weapons and other drug experiments on him. Throughout it all, my fa...
The phenomenal life of Ukrainian peasant Nestor Makhno (1888-1934) provides the framework for this breakneck account of the downfall of the tsarist empire and the civil war that convulsed and bloodied Russia between 1917 and 1921. Mahkno and his people were fighting for a society "without masters or slaves, with neither rich nor poor." They acted towards that idea by establishing "free soviets." Unlike the soviets drained of all significance by the dictatorship of a one-party State, the "free soviets" became the grassroots organs of a direct democracy - a living embodiment of the free society - until they were betrayed, and smashed, by the Red Army. Delving into a vast array of documentation to which few other historians have had access, this study illuminates a revolution that started out with the rosiest of prospects but ended up utterly confounded. More than just the incredible exploits of a guerilla revolutionary par excellence, Skirda weaves the tale of a people, and the organizations and practices of anarchism, literally fighting for their lives.
On 16 July 1941, Adolf Hitler convened top Nazi leaders at his headquarters in East Prussia to dictate how they would rule the newly occupied eastern territories. Ukraine, the "jewel" in the Nazi empire, would become a German colony administered by Heinrich Himmler's SS and police, Hermann Goring's economic plunderers, and a host of other satraps. Focusing on the Zhytomyr region and weaving together official German wartime records, diaries, memoirs, and personal interviews, Wendy Lower provides the most complete assessment available of German colonization and the Holocaust in Ukraine. Midlevel "managers," Lower demonstrates, played major roles in mass murder, and locals willingly participate...
