Vadim Delaunay (1947, Moscow - 1983, Paris) was a Soviet poet and dissident. On August 25, 1968, he and seven other dissidents organized the now-famous demonstration in support of the Prague Spring in Red Square near the Moscow Kremlin. Delaunay and Pavel Litvinov held the famous banner with the words "For your freedom and ours". Seven people were arrested and Delaunay was sentenced to almost three years in a labor camp that he served in western Siberia. In June 1971, he finished serving his sentence and returned to Moscow. In 1973, his wife Irina Belogorodskaya was arrested for her involvement with an underground journal, Chronicle of Current Events. In 1975 they both emigrated to France. On June 13th, 1983 Vadim Delaunay died of a heart attack in Paris at the age of 35. In 1984, his book of poetry Verses: 1963-1983 was published. The same year, he was posthumously awarded the Vladimir Dal Prize for his book Portraits in a Barbed Wire Frame. This book of Vadim Delaunay is the only novel he ever wrote. It is not a memoir or a thesis on prison camp life. It is a collection of sketches in which the author vividly depicted the personalities and nature of his camp-mates and relationships between them. He managed to convey the emotional state of the life in a camp with that ultimate honesty that is paid for with your heart's blood. This book is a testimony of an eyewitness and a participant in that desperate struggle "for your freedom and ours" and is meant to remind people once again in what place and during what time they are living. On the pages of this small book Delaunay talks, in essence, not only about the fate of prisoners, but about the fate of Russia as a whole, the fate of a country that tragically found itself behind barbed wire. Between the lines he gives an analysis of the strategy of a police state in pursuit of its selfish agenda. This strategy is extremely simple both in relation to those in the camp and those outside it in the Greater Zone, and eternal, like humanity itself. It plays on the worst sides of human nature as well as the best.

This is a book of short texts, which are close to sincere diary entries or something that has touched the sketches from a pocket notebook. Sometimes these crumbs are lit with a smile, flavored with humor. Symbolic knots, memos that captured interesting meetings on the path of life, the desire to protect them from oblivion, to share them with a friends and readers. At the end of the book the whole section consists of a very laconic stories in the book, shorten to one line.

Anatoly Yakobson (April 30, 1935, Moscow-September 28, 1978, Jerusalem) can be called without any exaggeration an outstanding literary scholar and teacher. In his fate and his creativity, he personified the time in which he happened, for the short time he had, to live in it. He was a born man of the sixties, of the Thaw, which he fervently supported; he lived in it and survived it, embodying it with all its essence and tragic ruin. In 1973 the New York Chekhov Publishing Corporation (Edward Kline & Max Hayward) brought out in Russian The End of Tragedy-his book about Alexander Blok. Like his favorite poet, Yakobson too parted ways with life, being unable to learn how to breathe in new conditions, in new spaces and times. Before emigration, A. Yakobson was for a while a teacher of history, literature, and Russian language in one of the best Russian schools. He students still remember and honor this remarkable teacher, a man of rare naturalness, decency, and education. Anatoly Yakobson left a bright mark in the history of the Soviet human-rights movement; to his pen belong unique examples of journalism and criticism. He was one of the first drafters and editors of the famous Chronicle of Current Events, a journal detailing the political repression and social struggle in the USSR which the authorities were not able to suppress or trample. Yakobson's exquisite literary taste and his capacity for poetic composition could not be adequately realized in much original work of his own. But his translations are highly appreciated by the best specialists and lovers of poetry. The current edition is the first complete collection of his translations of Petrarca, Verlaine, Lorca, Hernandez, Gauthier, Mickiewicz, and other poets from Europe, Latin America, and Africa, made between 1959 and 1978 and published now in remembrance of the 40th anniversary of his tragic death. This book contains translations which were published in many collections in his homeland, as well as in A. Yakobson. Soil and Fate (Vilnius-Moscow 1992, Vest' Publishers) and in the Memorial Web-Page (MCC) of A. Yakobson at the Internet portal Jerusalem Anthology http: //www.antho.net/library/yakobson/index.html. In the Addendum, readers can find Yakobson's famous article about translations of Shakespeare's 66th Sonnet, selections from his diary, and his lecture on poetry translation. This book is addressed to professional scholars of poetry, to historians and admirers of Russian literature, and to all those who value full-blooded poetic speech, for whom poetry is life itself, its very air.

Is emigrating from one's birth country and moving to a new one a mere "fight for the better life," or an act of desperation? Which requires more courage: remaining in your home country despite growing political and economic turmoil, or moving to the opposite side of the globe, with completely different cultural and behavioral values, "where people walk upside down?" Raisa Borovsky provides a surprising new perspective on this centuries-old question in her exciting historical novel, based on her own-and her friends'-personal experiences. What did it mean to grow up Jewish in the Soviet Union-the country officially based on "equality for all peoples?" How did anti-Semitism change while the country was moving from the tight government autocracy to the relative freedom of Glasnost and Perestroika? How do you decide who you are, if one of your parents is a Jew, and another one a "pure" Russian? The novel spans nearly half-a-century, from the end of the Second World War, though the years of political "thaw," "stagnation", Cold War, and then Perestroika, to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. It takes the reader from the elite "island of political freedom" known as Akademgorodok (then the scientific center of the Soviet Union), to the hustle and bustle of the country's major cities, from the House of Scientists in Siberia to the infamous Butyrskaya prison and the KGB headquarters in Moscow; from the spectacular but fleeting Siberian summers to the frigid dark winters of St. Petersburg (then called Leningrad). The reader will meet world-famous scientists, Jewish refuseniks, political dissidents who may have helped to bring down the Soviet Empire, intellectuals and blue-collar workers, members of the emerging Russian mafia, and unscrupulous political leaders. You will follow a bitter-sweet narrative of a young woman through her painful search for identity as a Russian and as a Jew, her tragic marriage to a charismatic but brutally abusive man, her involvement in the Jewish cultural movement that emerged during the Perestroika of the Gorbachev's government, and the many struggles for emigration.

The contributors to this anthology represent Russian-speaking communities from eight countries of the world, located on three continents: The United States, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, China and Israel. Most of the authors also represent different waves of Russian emigration that took place in the last quarter of the 20th century. The book opens with an interview with one of the legendary figures of the Russian diaspora, Russian-American historian Alexander Yanov, and is followed by articles from such prominent thinkers as Igor Smirnov, Anatoly Akhutin and Fr. Vladimir Zelinsky, Boris Groys and Karen Swassjan, Mikhail Epstein and Alexander Genis. Issues raised in these essays cover the whole range of modern philosophical discourse-from epistemology, ontology and philosophical anthropology, to the philosophy of culture, religion, and social and political philosophy.

Ранняя американская история во многом рождалась из европейских загадок и мифов. Новая книга Леонида Спивака Когда Америки не было раскрывает некоторые из этих тайн. Почему Сервантес собирался и не попал в Новый Свет? Каким образом гибель Марии Стюарт повлияла на судьбу будущих поселенцев Новой Англии? Как имя Шекспира связано со старейшим университетом США? Таковы лишь малые из множества событий первой части книги. Вторая часть книги представляет собой авантюрное документальное повествование, в котором сплелись интриги Версаля и мужество канадских поселенцев, судьбы мушкетеров и американские деяния кардинала Ришелье. Как писал Андре Моруа, мало знать темперамент человека, чтобы понять его судьбу темперамент лишь канва, по которой вышивают свои узоры события и воля. Фабулой третьей части книги Л. Спивака стала острая дипломатическая дуэль Томаса Джефферсона и Наполеона Бонапарта. Ее итогом было неожиданное историческое решение, которое принял французский император, лежа в горячей ванне. Международная сделка двух гениев интриги создала США в качестве великого континентального государства.
