Download or read book Zev s Los Angeles written by Zev Yaroslavsky and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LA Times Bestseller “…[A] compelling history of our city’s last half century, as conveyed through the life of one of our most impactful leaders. …” — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass This is the story of Zev Yaroslavsky, the son of Ukrainian Jews who immigrated to the United States in the early 1920s. His memoir charts the journey of a young social activist who battled to free Soviet Jews before becoming one of the most consequential elected officials in Southern California. Fiercely independent, he combined an activist’s passion with a seasoned politician’s skill to challenge the region’s power brokers. He fought the Los Angeles Police Department’s excessive force and political spying policies, led the effort to ban local taxes from funding the 1984 Olympics, teamed with President Clinton to avert a catastrophic county bankruptcy, helped develop L.A.’s modern transit system, won a bruising battle with real estate interests to save the Santa Monica Mountains from rapacious development, and was pivotal in the development of Walt Disney Concert Hall and the modernization of the iconic Hollywood Bowl. “I may be part of the establishment,” he said on the day he was first sworn into office, “but the establishment is not part of me.”
Download or read book Megis written by Michael Genrich and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law enforcement struggles with the new realities of the post-9/11 world in the sleepy backwater that is Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Suddenly, international tensions explode in the U.P. from a completely unexpected quarter. Thus begins a trail of events that leads inevitably to disaster, as ancient prophecies are fulfilled and as family tragedies come full circle. Foreign agents introduce small nuclear devices into the Upper Peninsula in an attempt to retrieve one of their scientists, a physicist involved in cutting-edge technology, who has been kidnapped from his country and who is being held in a secret U.P. location. Two men, an FBI agent and a state police detective, are thrust into a battle between those who hold the scientist and those who pursue him, only to ultimately discover that both sides want him dead. In the end, the scientist's destiny lies not with these two men but with another, one who recalls ancient Ojibwa legends that are almost as old as the land itself.
Download or read book The Donbas Conflict in Ukraine written by Daria Platonova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines why, when the conflict in eastern Ukraine began in 2014, fighting broke out in the Donets’k region, whereas it did not in Kharkiv city, despite the city, like the Donets’k region, being geographically proximate to Russia and similar in ethnic and linguistic make up. Based on extensive original research, the book argues that a key factor was the nature and behaviour of local elites, with those in Kharkiv having diffuse ties to the centre and therefore being more capable of adapting to sudden, profound regime change at the centre, whereas the elites in the Donets’k region had much more concentrated ties to the centre, were dependent on one network, and therefore were much less able to cope with change. The book thereby demonstrates how crucial for Ukraine are patronal politics, patronage networks, and informal centre-region relations, and that it was these local political circumstances, rather than Russia, which brought about the conflict.

Download or read book Tragedy and Triumph in Orbit written by Ben Evans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: April 12, 2011 is the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering journey into space. To commemorate this momentous achievement, Springer-Praxis is producing a mini series of books that reveals how humanity’s knowledge of flying, working, and living in space has grown in the last half century. “Tragedy and Triumph” focuses on the 1980s and early 1990s, a time when relations between the United States and the Soviet Union swung like a pendulum between harmony and outright hostility. The glorious achievements of the shuttle were violently arrested by the devastating loss of Challenger in 1986, while the Soviet program appeared to prosper with the last Salyut and the next-generation Mir orbital station. This book explores the continued rivalry between the two superpowers during this period, with each attempting to outdo the other – the Americans keen to build a space station, the Soviets keen to build a space shuttle – and places their efforts in the context of a bitterly divisive decade, which ultimately led them into partnership.
Download or read book Two skeletons in the closet of the German reunification written by , V.V.Voronov and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, it is about a topic of this work. The big part of text is dedicated to the largest and, I suppose, the most important country in Europe. This is Germany. The fact that Germans had not comprehended their own nature, its basics, led to two world wars, greatest tragedies of the 20th century. But even today one can authoritatively add that they have not studied historical lesson properly. As the last crisis showed, the German «market command economy socially-oriented» is far from the most effective economic systems in the world, the German pension system, was near to collapsing in 2013, but the main example for the above thesis is the German reunification. Still today many Germans are indignant with the Soviet «occupying forces», comrade Stalin, the whole Russia and Russian people over the establishment of GDR. Strange, but they do not remember their own unique contribution to the development of communist doctrine! Were it not for the two key Marxists, Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin and some other German activists too, would communism develop in a way it did? May the establishing in the east part of the Germany of the separate «republic of workers and peasants» not be seen as the return of «the spectre of communism», what was glorified by Marx in his famous «manifesto», to its «historical homeland»? Others reasons for charges against Russia are Berlin Wall and East German security service Stasi. But it might have been much worse! For example, the Ulbricht Mausoleum in Alexanderplatz with a mummy of «comrade Walter» inside could be added to this list of «sights of GDR»! And, I am sure, if it happened the «soiled reputation» of Russian folk would become dirtier!
Download or read book In the Labyrinth of the KGB written by Olga Bertelsen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2024 Winner, Kjetil Hatlebrekke Memorial Book Prize, King's College Centre for the Study of Intelligence This book focuses on the generation of the sixties and seventies in Kharkiv, Soviet Ukraine, a milieu of writers who lived through the Thaw and the processes of de-Stalinization and re-Stalinization. Special attention is paid to KGB operations against what came to be known as the dissident milieu, and the interaction of Ukrainians, Jews, and Russians in the movement, their persona friendships, formal and informal interactions, and the ways they dealt with repression and arrests. This study demonstrates that the KGB unintentionally facilitated the transnational and intercultural links among the Kharkiv multi-ethnic community of writers and their mutual enrichment. Post-Khrushchev Kharkiv is analyzed as a political space and a place of state violence aimed at combating Ukrainian nationalism and Zionism, two major targets in the 1960s–1970s. Despite their various cultural and social backgrounds, the Kharkiv literati might be identified as a distinct bohemian group possessing shared aesthetic and political values that emerged as the result of de-Stalinization under Khrushchev. Archival documents, diaries, and memoirs suggest that the 1960s–1970s was a period of intense KGB operations, “active measures” designed to disrupt a community of intellectuals and to fragment friendships, bonds, and support among Ukrainians, Russians, and Jews along ethnic lines domestically and abroad.

Download or read book The Ukrainian Russian Borderland written by Volodymyr V. Kravchenko and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eastern edge of Europe has long been in flux. The nature of the Ukrainian-Russian relationship is both complex and ambiguous. Prompted by the countries’ historical and geographical entanglement, Volodymyr Kravchenko asks what the words Ukraine and Russia really mean. The Ukrainian-Russian Borderland abandons linear historical interpretation and addresses questions of identity and meaning through imperial and geographic contexts. Dominated by imperial powers, Eastern Europe and its boundaries were in a constant state of flux and re-identification during the Russian imperial period. Here, the Little Russian early modern identity discourse both connects and separates modern Russian and Ukrainian identities and gives rise to issues of historical terminology. Mirroring the historical ambiguity is the geographical fluidity of the borders between Ukraine and Russia; Kravchenko situates this issue in the city of Kharkiv and Kharkiv University as both real and imagined markers of the borderland. Putting the centuries-long Ukrainian-Russian relationship into imperial and regional contexts, Kravchenko adds a new perspective to the ongoing discourse about relations between the two nations.

This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to shaping and imposition of “formulas for betrayal” as a result of changing memory politics in post-war Europe. The contributors, who specialize in history, sociology, anthropology, memory studies, media studies and cultural studies, discuss the exertion of political control over memory (including the selection, imposition, silencing or ideological “twisting” of facts), the usage of “formulas for betrayal” in various cultural-political contexts, and the discursive framing of the betraying subject for the purpose of legitimizing various memory regimes and ideologies.
