Las tierras que se extienden al este del Vístula han representado siempre para el imaginario europeo una mezcla de dureza, misterio, contrastes y belleza. Pero si existe algún país que haya reunido todas estas sugestivas características ese ha sido, sin duda, Rusia. Considerada como un imperio occidental y a la vez oriental, pese a compartir con el oeste buena parte de su mentalidad y costumbres, no puede ocultar unas singularidades propias, grabadas a fuego por una compleja historia que se remonta más de mil años atrás. Fue tras las reformas de Pedro I cuando este coloso comenzó a jugar un papel cada vez más relevante en la política internacional. El presente trabajo aborda las relaciones que a lo largo de la decimoctava centuria se establecieron entre los dos reinos que enmarcaban -y enmarcan- los confines de Europa: España y Rusia.
The 4th volume of this comprehensive work features hundreds of serial killers from Sacramento to Soviet Russia—plus numerous unsolved cases. The World Encyclopedia of Serial Killers is the most complete reference guide on the subject, featuring more than 1,600 entries about the lives and crimes of serial killers from around the world. Defined by the FBI as a person who murders three or more people with a hiatus of weeks or months between murders, the serial killer has presented unique and terrifying challenges to have walked among us since the dawn of time—a fact this extensive record makes chillingly clear. The series concludes with Volume Four, T-Z. Entries include the Terminator Anatoly Yuriyovych Onoprienko; Trailside Killer David Joseph Carpenter; Vampire of Sacramento Richard Trenton Chase; and the Voroshilovgrad Maniac Zaven Almazyan; plus the unsolved cases of the Adelaide Child Murders; the Axeman of New Orleans; the Chillicothe Killer; the Dead Women of Juarez; the Korea Frog Boy Murders; and the Volga Maniac.

Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
