Indelible Impressions
From prisoner of war, to academician, to husband and father, Michael Klimenko's life was one marked by both the heights of joy and depths of adversity. It was in the midst of these adversities that Klimenko experienced the deeper hope in Christ that carried him through the greatest sorrows and brought him the most profound joy. An incredible story of an incredible life, Michael Klimenko's journey could surely fill three lifetimes. Born and partly educated in the former Soviet Union, the life of Michael Klimenko was far from ordinary. In his youth he witnessed the heydays of vigorous progress and steady decline of the traditional native life under the Soviet regime. After Germany attacked his country, Klimenko found himself displaced from his homeland while in German captivity. After the war, Klimenko remained in Western occupied Germany, continuing his unfinished education there and in Switzerland. It was during a chance encounter on a train while in Switzerland, that Marianna left an indelible impression on him; one that would change the rest of his life.
Tsar Alexander I
Tsar Alexander I of Russia (ruled 1801-1825) was and has remained one of the most enigmatic and tragic rulers in history. His sudden death became as enigmatic as was his life. A factual account of his life presented by Professor Michael Klimenko in this book is written in illustrative setting, descriptively, graphically. It makes a fascinating reading about those agitated events and political leaders of the times before and after French Revolution.
Notes of Alexander I, Emperor of Russia
Alexander I of Russia dreamt his whole life of realizing in his Empire the great ideas of the French Revolution of Human Rights and Freedom. As autocrat Alexander intended to grant his subjects a constitution and a representative government. But being, involved his whole reign, intermittently in love-hate relations with Napoleon, then in European politics and diplomacy, he did not dare to make serious effort in his intentions. He was and remains the most mysterious ruler history has ever known. The question, whether he died in Taganrog in 1825, or somebody else was placed into his coffin, while he went on pilgrimage to expiate his burdened soul for the unwilling participation in the death of his father, lived as starets Fedor Kuzmich and died in 1864 at the age of 87, is still open. The book investigates these and many other problems of his mysterious and glorious reign. Based on original documents, the book is written in the first person.
On the Edge
How indigenous was the Evangelical Free Church movement in Tsarist Russia? Was it simply a foreign import? To what extent did it threaten the political stability of the nation and encroach upon the existing Russian and German churches? On the Edge examines the efforts of the regimes to suppress the movement and how the movement not only survived but also expanded. To what extent did the movement bring upon itself unnecessary opposition because of aggressiveness and tactics? Albert Wardin describes the contributions the movement made to the religious life of Russia and examines its numerical success.

Vladimir Solov'ëv
Vladimir Solov'ev (1853-1900- is regarded as the most original and systematic of the Russian philosophers in the 19th century. He has once again become the subject of international scholarly attention both in Slavic countries and the West. This volume contains selected papers presented at the international conference on Vladimir Solov'ev held at Nijmegen University, the Netherlands, in September 1998. The scope of this conference was wide-ranging, dealing with theological, metaphysical, philosophical and historical themes. Though Solov'ev's broad intellectual activity defies any strict attempt at categorisation, the editors have classified its major themes under the dual characteristic of re...
Ehrenburg
Applying Hegel's dialectical method, Professor Klimenko detects three stages in Ehrenburg's intellectual and literary development corresponding to thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis. In the first stage, Ehrenburg displays highly skeptical views on human nature in general, and life in the Soviet Union and the West. Then, at the end of the 1920's he experiences a crisis, undergoes an intellectual transformation and becomes a believer in the Communist ideology accepting the Soviet political and social realities. He vehemently condemns Western society and its way of life. In later years, following Stalin's death, he again modifies his views. In a number of critical essays he aligns himself with the worldviews of Stendhal and Chekhov, his two favorite authors. His hope was that history would view him as he had viewed these two outstanding men.
