Best of
Soviet-Union
1973
Hope Abandoned
Nadezhda Mandelstam - 1973
The book also describes some distinguished contemporaries, including Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak and Nikolai Bukharin.
Kino-Eye
Dziga Vertov - 1973
The radical complexity of his work--in both sound and silent forms--has given it a central place within contemporary theoretical inquiry. Vertov's writings, collected here, range from calculated manifestos setting forth his heroic vision of film's potential to dark ruminations on the inactivity forced upon him by the bureaucratization of the Soviet state.
National Suicide: Military aid to the Soviet Union
Antony C. Sutton - 1973
Technology that maimed and killed American boys in Korea and Vietnam.
Stalin: The Man and His Era
Adam B. Ulam - 1973
Ulam in his now-classic biography, was the consummate outsider, a man who spoke Russian with a Georgian accent all his life yet still proclaimed himself to be the supreme father of the Russian people. Often pictured as a semiliterate boor, Stalin was in fact an intellectual, and he destroyed the intellectual class to which he belonged "as thoroughly as any class in history had ever been destroyed." Ulam's account of the 20th century's Genghis Khan is an absorbing study of power won and terrifyingly applied.
