In this remarkable book, Albert Baiburin provides the first in-depth study of the development and uses of the passport, or state identity card, in the former Soviet Union. First introduced in 1932, the Soviet passport took on an exceptional range of functions, extending not just to the regulation of movement and control of migrancy but also to the constitution of subjectivity and of social hierarchies based on place of residence, family background, and ethnic origin. While the basic role of the Soviet passport was to certify a person’s identity, it assumed a far greater significance in Soviet life. Without it, a person literally ‘disappeared’ from society. It was impossible to find emp...
Yugoslavya Türklüğünün selameti için kurulan Yücel Teşkilatı (1945) hiç şüphesiz Makedonya’daki kuruluşlar arasında önemli bir sivil toplum örgütü olma özelliğine sahipti. Diğer yandan Yücel Teşkilatı, II. Dünya Savaşı döneminde Bulgaristan ve Yugoslavya tarafından Makedonya Türklerine karşı yapılan sistemli baskılara karşı direniş göstermiştir. 19 ilâ 25 Ocak 1948 tarihleri arasında Yücel mensupları bir takım mesnetsiz iddialarla hâkim önüne çıkarılarak yargılanmışlar ve içlerinden dördü idama, diğerleri ise çeşitli hapis ve sürgün cezalarına çarptırılmışlardır. Bu çalışmada Yücel Teşkilatı söz konusu dönemde Yugo...

But an unexpected betrayal sends Hellboy after a quarry far more deadly: the Queen of Blood, first seen in 2007's best-selling Hellboy: Darkness Calls. This newly reborn evil has her murderous sights set on all of humanity, and the only way Hellboy can stop her is to finally confront the truth about his own dark heritage. * Mignola reunites with artist Duncan Fegredo for the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Hellboy: Darkness Calls. * Hellboy: The Wild Hunt collects the entire eight-issue miniseries, along with an extensive sketchbook section from both artists. * A New York Times bestseller!
A Dostoevskian psychological novel of ideas, Novel with Cocaine explores the interaction between psychology, philosophy, and ideology in its frank portrayal of an adolescent's cocaine addiction. The story relates the formative experiences of Vadim at school and with women before he turns to drug abuse and the philosophical reflections to which it gives rise. Although Ageyev makes little explicit reference to the Revolution, the novel's obsession with addictive forms of thinking finds resonance in the historical background, in which "our inborn feelings of humanity and justice" provoke "the cruelties and satanic transgressions committed in its name.
Throughout the Cold War, the United States encountered unexpected challenges from Italy and France, two countries with the strongest, and determinedly most anti-American, Communist Parties in Western Europe. Based primarily on new evidence from communist archives in France and Italy, as well as research archives in the United States, Alessandro Brogi's original study reveals how the United States was forced by political opposition within these two core Western countries to reassess its own anticommunist strategies, its image, and the general meaning of American liberal capitalist culture and ideology. Brogi shows that the resistance to Americanization was a critical test for the French and I...
