Książka wydana wspólnie z Instytutem Studiów Politycznych PAN Książka opowiada o kilkuzdaniowym liście 34 intelektualistów do premiera Józefa Cyrankiewicza. Mowa w nim była o ograniczeniach papieru na wydawnictwa literackie oraz o rozszerzającej się cenzurze prewencyjnej. Ale te kilka niewinnych zdań wstrząsnęło Polską. Szczególne znaczenie miała lista 34 sygnatariuszy. Te nazwiska były jak wielki dzwon ostrzegawczy. List 34 był czymś niezwykłym w biografii mojego pokolenia. Był to pierwszy publiczny znak sprzeciwu wobec polityki postępującej zamordyzacji. Rozmawialiśmy o nim z fascynacją i podziwem, ponieważ list był sygnałem, że sprzeciw jest możliwy; że c...

Winner of the Norris and Carol Hundley Award Winner of the U.S.–Russia Relations Book Prize A Financial Times Best History Book of the Year The Cold War division of Europe was not inevitable—the acclaimed author of Stalin’s Genocides shows how postwar Europeans fought to determine their own destinies. Was the division of Europe after World War II inevitable? In this powerful reassessment of the postwar order in Europe, Norman Naimark suggests that Joseph Stalin was far more open to a settlement on the continent than we have thought. Through revealing case studies from Poland and Yugoslavia to Denmark and Albania, Naimark recasts the early Cold War by focusing on Europeans’ fight to d...
This book presents a solid theoretical foundation of the modern mitigation technologies employed in the power quality arena, and provides an overview of the most recent challenges in this field. The book introduces the advanced concepts associated with power quality to engineers and students. It will make an excellent reference for facility electrical power engineers and maintenance technicians.
This book offers an international reading of the Polish socialist regime’s history in the 1970s, and its opening up to the West. It bridges Poland’s socialist domestic history with critical developments of the global and European 1970s, including détente in the Cold War, western European integration, and globalisation. In this period of international transformations, socialist Poland under Edward Gierek's leadership multiplied its economic and political contacts with capitalist countries, especially western Europe, and became a leader of East-West cooperation among Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and Warsaw Pact members. Relying on sources from public and corporate archives in fi...
First Published in 1986. The papers in this volume were originally delivered at a series of seminars held at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London, between January and May 1984. The inspiration for the scheme was the Soviet succession struggle of 1982 but further reflection indicated that the problem of elderly leaderships, and the apparent absence of legitimate succession mechanisms, applied to nearly all communist systems.
