  Russian History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min

  The history of Russia is anticipated to be a commonly comprehensible and plainly structured outline of Russia's history since 1283, after the rise of Moscow. Russia was at its best in the 13th century when Moscow became a center for cultural activities. The Russian Tsardom was now a huge empire which spread from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the west to the Pacific Ocean. Succeeding governments of the 19th century retorted to such stresses with an amalgamation of unenthusiastic reform and subjugation. Serfdom in Russia was obliterated in 1861 but its abolition was attained on terms which were not favorable to the rustics and aided in increasing radical pressures. The phase between the serfdom and the beginning of World War I in 1914, State Duma, the Stolypin reforms and the constitution of 1906 endeavored to open and slacken the Russian politics and economy but the tsars were reluctant to renounce autocratic rule or part with their supremacy. A mix of fiscal breakdown, dissatisfaction with the autocratic government and wearies of the war elicited the 1917 Russian Revolution and first brought an association of moderate socialists and liberals to power, however their unsuccessful policies led to the confiscation of their control by the Communist Bolsheviks in October 25. The crucial history of the Soviet Union is between the 1922 and 1991, effectually Russia was a state based on ideology that indelicately had the same history as it did before the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Socialism was however build differently over various eras in the Russian history, from the varied society and variegated economy and ethos of 1920s to tyranny and authoritative economy of Stalin to the 1980s era of stagnation. From its initial years in March 1918, the government in the Soviet Union was grounded on the one-party rule of the Communists (this is what Bolsheviks called themselves). By the mid-1980s, with the faintness of its fiscal and administrative edifices getting se ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cyrus Nilo.

  What Is to Be Done? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 342min

  What Is to Be Done? Burning Questions of Our Movement (1902) is a political pamphlet written by the Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. Lenin contends that the working class will not become politically aware simply by struggling with employers over wages, hours and working conditions. He maintains that Marxists should form a political party of committed revolutionaries to spread Marxist political ideas among the workers. The pamphlet was partly responsible for the split of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party into Lenin's Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. Claiming that socialist theory was the product of the "revolutionary socialist intellectuals", Lenin states that the working class was able to develop only a “trade-union consciousness". He points out that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of modern scientific socialism, belonged to this bourgeois intelligentsia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Douglas.

  Stalin: Volume I: Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928

  A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world The product of a decade of intrepid research, Stalin is a landmark achievement. Stephen Kotkin offers a biography that, at long last, is equal to this shrewd, sociopathic, charismatic dictator in all his dimensions. We see a man inclined to despotism who could be utterly charming; a pragmatic ideologue; a leader who obsessed over slights yet was a precocious geostrategic thinker-unique among Bolsheviks-and yet who made egregious strategic blunders. Through it all, we see Stalin's unflinching persistence, his sheer force of will-perhaps the ultimate key to understanding his indelible mark on history. Drawing on Kotkin's exhaustive study of Soviet archival materials as well as vast scholarly literature, Stalin recasts the way we think about the Soviet Union, revolution, dictatorship, the twentieth century, and indeed the art of history itself.
