Informer 001
During the period when Russia was under Stalin, a young boy namedPavlik Morozov informed the OGPU (now called the KGB) that his fatherwas an enemy of the regime. As a result, Pavlik's father wasarrested and disappeared in a Soviet concentration camp. Enemies of theparty later killed the boy, whereupon people proclaimed him a hero.Informer 001 is the first independent study of the Morozovaffair. In book after book, author Druzhnikov discoveredinconsistencies on every fact relating to Morozov. As Druzhnikov piecedtogether the story about Morozov's life, death, and legacy, itbecame clear that the campaign to keep Morozov a hero was centrallydirected. Informer hero number 001, remained a fearful reminder to all;to those who inform, and those who become the victims of denunciations.
Imaging Russia 2000
"Anna Lawton deftly tells two stories--one about the evolution of Russian film since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the other about Russian life during that same period. She managed to capture a vivid portrait of Moscow of the 1990s, and to remind us that the Soviet past remains omnipresent in the new Russia. Russia 2000: Film and Facts is a must read for anyone who cares about Russia, or about film."Blair Ruble, Director, The Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson Center.
Project for a Revolution in New York
Part prophecy and part erotic fantasy, this classic tale of otherworldly depravity features New York itself—or a foreigner's nightmare of New York—as its true protagonist. Set in the towers and tunnels of the quintessential American city, Alain Robbe-Grillet's novel turns this urban space into a maze where politics bleeds into perversion, revolution into sadism, activist into criminal, vice into art—and back again. Following the logic of a movie half-glimpsed through a haze of drugs and alcohol, Project for a Revolution in New York is a Sadean reverie that bears an alarming resemblance to the New York, and the United States, that have actually come into being.
