    Their love was unique, unfathomabale and unbelievable too. Foreword by V R Sudheesh."Long, long ago, S.K. Pottekkatt went to the banks of a river called Iruvazhinji Puzha in a small town called Mukkam in Kozhikode, and wrote a novel called 'Naadan Premam' - a love story born out of his imagination.Years later, P.T. Muhamed Sadik went to the very same shores and wrote another love story called 'Moideen Kanchanamala - Oru Apoorva Pranayajeevitham'. This time it was not a case of fiction. It was a true story, of a man called Moideen whom he had admired as a child, and the woman he loved Kanchanamala. Sadik remembered Moideen as the 'big man' who used to produce films starring Jayan and Seema, the man who died in a boat accident leaving behind his lover Kanchanamala.When he grew up, he wrote about their love story which had to face several hurdles because of their different religions. He spoke to people who knew Moideen and to Kanchanamala who, to this day lives life as the widow of Moideen." - Cris , Decan Chronicle

    Clover traces Eurasianism’s origins in the writings of White Russian exiles in 1920s Europe, through Siberia’s Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady infiltration of the governing elite around Vladimir Putin. This eye-opening analysis pieces together the evidence for Eurasianism’s place at the heart of Kremlin thinking today and explores its impact on recent events, the annexation of Crimea, the rise in Russia of anti-Western paranoia and imperialist rhetoric, as well as Putin’s sometimes perplexing political actions and ambitions.Based on extensive research and dozens of interviews with Putin’s close advisers, this quietly explosive story will be essential reading for anyone concerned with Russia’s past century, and its future.

    In a period of almost continuous upheaval, society was transformed by two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust, and the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Combining a powerful narrative with profound analysis, acclaimed historian Robert Gellately argues that these tragedies are inextricably linked and that to consider them as discrete events is to misunderstand their genesis and character. Central to the catastrophe, of course, were Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, and this book makes use of recently opened Russian and German sources to explain how these dictatorsâ�� pursuit of utopianâ��and dreadfully flawedâ��ideals led only to dystopian nightmare. In a groundbreaking work, Gellately makes clear that most comparative studies of the Soviet and Nazi dictatorships are undermined by neglecting the key importance of Lenin in the unfolding drama. Rejecting the myth of the â��goodâ�� Lenin, the book provides a convincing social-historical account of all three dictatorships and carefully documents their similarities and differences. It traces the escalation of conflicts between Communism and Nazism, and particularly of the role of Hitlerâ��s anathema against what he called â��Jewish Bolshevism.â�� The book shows how the vicious rivalry between Stalin and Hitler led inescapably to a war of annihilation and genocide. The reverberations of this gargantuan struggle are felt everywhere to this day.
