In Blood on the Snow, Robert Service returns to the subject that has formed the backbone of his long and distinguished career: the Russian Revolution. For Service, the great unanswered question is how to reconcile the two vital narratives that underpin the extraordinary but troubled events of 1917. One puts the blame squarely on Tsar Nicholas II and on Alexander Kerensky’s provisional government that deposed him. The other is the view from the bottom, that of the workers and peasants who wanted democratic socialism, not the Bolshevik dictatorship imposed by Lenin and his successors.

Одна тысяча девятьсот сорок третий год. Гвардии рядовому Павлу Петровичу Романову снятся странные сны, будто бы он в старинных одеждах, парике и при шпаге разъезжает по Европе, встречается с королями и принцами, ждет не дождется, когда "горячо любимая" мамаша уйдет на тот свет, освободив причитающийся ему по закону престол Российской империи. А потом просыпается в блиндаже под Шлиссельбургом от страшной головной боли и удушья. В памяти остаются только цветной офицерский шарф и тяжелая табакерка... И смерть.

Кто-то мечтает получить новую жизнь и начать ее по-другому, однако в реальности не все этого хотят. Судьба решила все за Александра Полякова. Новая жизнь, новая семья, а еще большая ответственность. Ведь попал он в сорок первый год. Правда, в январь, но от этого лучше не становится. Ленинградская область, окрестности озера Чудское и послезнание. Так что стоит выбор — оставить на погибель новую семью или, хрипя от натуги, вытащить их из этой беды? Это очень трудно, особенно когда новому телу нет и двенадцати лет.

Обновление случилось, вот только баланс "Даяны I" всегда будет балансом. Получив невероятные возможности можно только отдав что-то взамен. Но, не всегда сделка того стоит!

It was history's most successful political partnership - as sensual and fiery as it was creative and visionary. Catherine the Great was a woman of notorious passion and imperial ambition. Prince Potemkin - wildly flamboyant and sublimely talented - was the love of her life and her co-ruler. Together they seized Ukraine and Crimea, defining the Russian empire to this day. Their affair was so tumultuous that they negotiated an arrangement to share power, leaving Potemkin free to love his beautiful nieces, and Catherine her young male favourites.

He was the general who triumphed over Napoleon's Grande Armee during the Patriotic War of 1812, not merely restoring national pride but securing national identity. Many Russians consider Field Marshal Mikhail Illarionovich Golenischev-Kutuzov the greatest figure of the 19th century, ahead of Pushkin, Tchaikovsky, even Tolstoy himself. As award-winning author Alexander Mikaberidze shows in this fascinating, often startling, and wholly humanizing new biography, Kutuzov's story is far more compelling and complex than the myths that have encased him.

China’s President faces many problems. Some, like conflict at the Indian border and in the South China Sea he created for himself. Others, like pending disasters at the Three Gorges Dam and China’s oldest nuclear plant, just happened. But the biggest threat to Communist rule is revolutionaries with Internet access through American satellites. Access that lets them spread propaganda, organize free of government surveillance, and launch cyberattacks. Four deniable Russian agents will travel to America to stop that threat.

This DIA report examines a resurgent Russia’s military power to foster a deeper understanding of its core capabilities, goals, and aspirations in the 21st century. The resurgence of Russia on the world stage - the Crimean Peninsula, destabilizing Eastern Ukraine, intervening on behalf of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and shaping the information environment to suit its interests - poses a major challenge to the United States. Moscow will continue to aggressively pursue its foreign policy and security objectives by employing the full spectrum of the state’s capabilities.
