Stephen F. Cohen Volgorde van de boeken

The book delves into the complex dynamics of the East-West conflict that intensified following the 2014 Ukrainian crisis, examining its historical roots and implications for US-Russian relations. Stephen F. Cohen, a prominent scholar, provides a detailed analysis of the 'Inter Cold War' period, arguing that the current tensions could lead to a more perilous Cold War. His insights offer a critical perspective on the evolving relationship between the West and post-Soviet Russia, making it essential for those interested in contemporary geopolitical issues.

Cohen believes that America is in a new Cold War with Russia -- and it is even more dangerous than the one the world barely survived in the twentieth century. The two nuclear superpowers are again locked in political and military confrontations. Cohen provides a narrative of this dangerous new Cold War from its origins in the 1990s, the actual role of Vladimir Putin, and the 2014 Ukrainian crisis to Donald Trump's election and today's unprecedented Russiagate allegations. -- adapted from Amazon.com info

Przesycone terrorem rządy Stalina zyskały miano „drugiego holokaustu”. Pochłonęły nawet więcej niewinnych istnień – mężczyzn, kobiet i dzieci. W obozach Gułagu zginęły miliony ludzi zmuszanych do pracy. Niektórzy jednak przetrwali, a po śmieci Stalina w 1953 roku zostali uwolnieni. Oto historia tych, którzy ocaleli. Z relacji, zbieranych przez trzydzieści lat podczas licznych wizyt w Moskwie, Stephen F. Cohen wydobywa na światło dzienne kolejne wstydliwe tajemnice Związku Sowieckiego, skrywane tak skrzętnie przez aparat represji i cenzurę. Odtwarza losy byłych więźniów, toczących po powrocie z łagrów walkę o uratowanie ze zrujnowanego życia tego, co jeszcze się da. Opisuje ich trwające pięćdziesiąt lat zmagania o należną sprawiedliwość. Indywidualne ludzkie losy, niekiedy dzieje ofiar i katów, splatają się tu ze sobą oraz z zajadłymi konfliktami zarówno między zwykłymi ludźmi, jak i władzami na Kremlu. „Ocaleni z Gułagu” to fascynująca opowieść będąca ważnym uzupełnieniem historii terroru, który nadal niechętnie odkrywa swoje niewygodne tajemnice. Potrzebne, świetnie napisane przypomnienie, że Rosja wciąż zmaga się z przeciwstawnymi wersjami opowieści o wielkich zbrodniach z swej przeszłości. Cohen pomaga lepiej zrozumieć enigmatyczną teraźniejszość Rosji i przewidzieć, czego spodziewać się w niepewnej przyszłości. —The New York Times Book Review Patroanty: Gość Niedzielny, portal Niełomni.com, portal Konflikty.pl, portal wMeritum.pl, Stowarzyszenie Odra-Niemen

India's approach of arming without strategic purpose remains viable, however, as it seeks great-power accommodation of its rise and does not want to appear threatening. What should we anticipate from this effort in the future, and what are the likely ramifications? This title answers those questions.

Stalin's reign of terror in the Soviet Union has been called 'the other Holocaust'. During the Stalin years, it is thought that more innocent men, women and children perished than in Hitler's destruction of the European Jews. Many millions died in Stalin's Gulag of torture prisons and forced-labour camps, yet others survived and were freed after his death in 1953. This book is the story of the survivors. Long kept secret by Soviet repression and censorship, it is now told by renowned author and historian Stephen F. Cohen, who came to know many former Gulag inmates during his frequent trips to Moscow over a period of thirty years. Based on first-hand interviews with the victims themselves and on newly available materials, Cohen provides a powerful narrative of the survivors' post-Gulag saga, from their liberation and return to Soviet society, to their long struggle to salvage what remained of their shattered lives and to obtain justice. Spanning more than fifty years, "The Victims Return" combines individual stories with the fierce political conflicts that raged, both in society and in the Kremlin, over the victims of the terror and the people who had victimized them. This compelling book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Russian history.
