Stories for Little Comrades

of Early Soviet Children's Books
Evgeny Steiner
In the Soviet Union of the 1920s, the most prominent avant-garde artists
were eager children's book illustrators. Steiner explores the picture
books created by the Constructivist artists, who welcomed both the chance
to mold young revolutionaries and to work for good pay with low risk of
censorship.

Western Amerykanski
Polish Poster Art and the Western
Edited by Kevin Mulroy
The Western motion picture, from its silent days on, exported an epic
vision of America. In postwar Poland artists employed the universally
recognized symbols of the Western--horse, six-shooter, boots, tin-star
badge, Stetson, saddle--to convey violence as a negative force. The
posters displayed and discussed in this book are from the mid-1940s to the
1970s.

The Crisis of Leninism
and the Decline of the Left
The Revolutions of 1989
Edited by Daniel Chirot
From China to Eastern Europe the dramatic events of 1989 commanded global
attention but left no consensus on either their meaning or consequences.
Nine eminent scholars probe the reasons for the revolutionary upheavals of
1989 in the communist world, and assess the forces that continue to shape
its uncertain future. "Chirot brings together a number of remarkable
contributions that try to make sense of the failure of Leninist authority
and power in East-Central Europe in one of the first serious attempts to
think through the long-term political and theoretical implications of the
events of 1989."--Orbis

A History of Ukraine
Paul Robert Magocsi
Although the new state of Ukraine came into being as one of many formed in
the wake of the Revolution of 1989, it is hardly a new country. Paul

era to the declaration of Ukrainian independence in 1991, with a balanced
discussion of political, economic, and cultural affairs. Tracing in detail
the experiences of the Ukrainian people, he gives judicious treatment as
well to the other peoples and cultures that developed within the borders
of Ukraine, including the Greeks of the Bosporan Kingdom, the Crimean
Tatars, and the Poles, Russians, Germans, Jews, and Mennonites.

Imagining Russian Jewry
Memory, History, Identity
Steven J. Zipperstein
This book explores the imprint left by the Russian Jewish past on American
Jews starting from the turn of the 20th century, considering literature
ranging from immigrant novels to Fiddler on the Roof. In Russia,
he finds
nostalgia in turn-of-the-century East European Jewry itself, in novels
contrasting Jewish life in acculturated Odessa with the more traditional
shtetls.
