People and Time: The Painting Exhibition Catalog
The exhibition presents the work of Russian artists of different ages and experience, displayed in various painting techniques and genres, united by one idea to capture the spiritual world of a person and its manifestation in life and culture. The idea of such an exhibition was born a long time ago, and now it has formed into a concept to present the work of both already formed artistic personalities with their own unique vision of the world, who have developed their own manner and painting techniques, and novice, young artists with a direct, open look at the world, untrained visual approaches reflecting their idea of people, their deeds, experiences, exploits, an independent vision of the reality being changed by a person and cultural transformation of space. Artists pay close attention to the transience of the flow of human life, the cyclical nature of natural phenomena, the passion of human nature, the strength of spirit, the height of spirituality, the depth of poetry, historical exploits, cultural traditions and embody in the images of their works.
Political Dissent and Democratic Remittances
With a focus on the most recent wave of political emigration from Russia unleashed during President Vladimir Putin’s third term, this book explores the activities of those who voice political dissent after leaving their country. Based on rich ethnographic data and interviews gathered among Russian emigrants to the EU member-states, who are engaged in civic and political participation targeted at their home country, it demonstrates that emigration, particularly forced emigration in which political dissidents are squeezed out of their country, no longer functions efficiently as a means of calming political unrest. Drawing on the concept of social remittances, the author analyses the content, structure and the channels of political democratic remittances sent by political dissidents overseas, the factors that shape them and the perceived effects of these endeavours. A study of the latest wave of politically charged emigration from Russia and emigrants’ engagement in ‘homeland politics’, this volume will appeal to scholars across a range of social sciences working on migration, diaspora and democratisation processes, citizenship, EU studies and Russia studies.
Un Homme à Abattre
Pour écrire ce livre l'auteur s'est appuyé sur les vrais échanges. C'est un travail d'investigation au coeur du système policier russe, uniquement répressif. Une machine à broyer. Mais la vie et l'espoir sont plus forts que tout. Lutter c'est vivre. L'ensemble de ces documents ont été transmis au Gouvernement Français.. . Nous avons aussi rencontré des personnes serviables, qui ne supportent plus ce régime cinique et corrompu... Contre toute attente !.

Irina's Story
Irina's Story is the history of the Uspensky family and its attempt to negotiate the perils of 20th century Russia. It begins in the twilight years of the Tsarist empire in the idyllic setting of the family's country home at Babushkino, and describes a world which is destroyed by war, revolution and Stalin's terror, and ends with the fall of communism and the beginning of a new Russia of gangsters and crony-capitalism. At the age of 90, Irina Uspenskaya is the last surviving witness of these events. In her Moscow apartment, while her young relative Slavochka and his friends in "the International Syndicate" aspire to become successful drug dealers, Irina collects the letters and diaries of he...
Rapporto 2015-2016
Il Rapporto 2015-2016 di Amnesty International documenta la situazione dei diritti umani in 160 paesi e territori durante il 2015. In molte parti del mondo, un notevole numero di rifugiati si è messo in cammino per sfuggire a conflitti e repressione. La tortura e altri maltrattamenti da un lato e la mancata tutela dei diritti sessuali e riproduttivi dall’altro sono stati due grandi fonti di preoccupazione. La sorveglianza da parte dei governi e la cultura dell’impunità hanno continuato a negare a molte persone i loro diritti. Questo rapporto rende merito a tutte le persone che si sono attivate in difesa dei diritti umani in tutto il mondo, spesso in circostanze difficili e pericolose. ...
Amnesty International Report 2015/16
Der ›Amnesty International Report 2016‹ ist das essentielle Handbuch zur weltweiten Lage der Menschenrechte. Das vergangene Jahr war von gewaltsamen Konflikten und dem Versagen vieler Regierungen geprägt, die Sicherheit und Rechte der Zivilbevölkerung zu gewährleisten: Terror, Bürgerkriege, willkürliche Verhaftungen und Exekutionen waren für Zehntausende bittere Realität. Verfolgung und Diskriminierung sowie Folter und Tod gehörten zu den Ursachen für die größte Flüchtlingswelle seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Der ›Amnesty International Report‹ ist eine Bestandsaufnahme und gibt anhand von circa 160 Länderberichten – unter anderem aus der Volksrepublik China, Nigeria und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika – einen Überblick über die weltweite Situation der Menschenrechte.
Siberian Dream
A triumphant story of determination and passion, Siberian Dream is a tale of two worlds -- one in Siberia, one in America -- and a young woman with a heart and spirit big enough to span them both. Irina's story begins amid the final days of the Soviet Union. Born into an ancient indigenous Siberian culture, she came Of age with a rich heritage of spirituality often at odds with a world in which individuality was stifled and poverty was a way of life. Picked by a talent scout to star in a Soviet film, Irina came to Moscow, then made her way to Paris where she struggled to break into the fashion industry enduring rejection because her exotic beauty was not readily accepted. Finally, in New York, she found herself embraced by the open spirit and industry of America, her struggle to survive transformed into a meteoric rise in fashion and film.
Irina Odoevtseva, Poet, Novelist, Memoirist
Publication of this, the first monograph on Irina Odoevtseva, is a long overdue event. Ella Bobrow, the poetess' long-standing friend and admirer, completed her book more than a decade ago. Only the vicissitudes of Soviet and Russian ?migr? literary politics forestalled the book's immediate and deserved appearance in the early 1980s. Odoevtseva's enforced exile in France, almost to the end of her life, prevented recognition in her native country as one of the prominent figures of St. Petersburg and Russian emigre literature. The standing that Irina Odoevtseva truly deserves has hitherto been apparent mainly to readers and scholars familiar with her poems, fiction and memoirs. For those still indoubt or ignorance, however, Ella Bobrow's book will serve as a broad introduction to one of Russia's major woman writers.- Christopher Barnes, University of Toronto
