The Link in the Chain chronicles the survival of a young Dutch Jewish family through the Nazi occupation of Holland from 1940 to 1945. But it is also a love story. Just days before the Germans invaded, 19-year-old Judic de Vries married Bram Wynberg, the love of her life. Together they spent the next four years in hiding, making countless life-and-death decisions, separated from their families and even their own children. In spite of devastating losses, Judic and Bram rebuilt a life in Holland and then started over again in Canada. This memoir reveals their courage and hopes, and Judic's determination to connect us to all that was taken.

ENGThe mass migration of East European Jews and their resettlement in cities throughout Europe, the United States, Argentina, the Middle East and Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries not only transformed the demographic and cultural centers of world Jewry, it also reshaped Jews' understanding and performance of their diasporic identities. Rebecca Kobrin's study of the dispersal of Jews from one city in Poland-Bialystok?demonstrates how the act of migration set in motion a wide range of transformations that led the migrants to imagine themselves as exiles not only from the mythic Land of Israel but most immediately from their east European homeland. Kobrin explores the organizations, institutions, newspapers, and philanthropies that the Bialystokers created around the world and that reshaped their perceptions of exile and diaspora.RUSМассовая миграция восточноевропейских евреев и их расселение в городах Европы, Соединенных Штатов, Аргентины, Ближнего Востока и Австралии в конце XIX и начале XX века не только трансформировали демографические и культурные центры мирового еврейства, но также изменили понимание и евреями своей диаспоральной идентичности.

ENGLike A Bomb Going Off explores the rich and complex history of twentieth-century ballet and the even more complex history of the expressive arts in the Soviet Union through the lens of one of its most relentless renegades, Leonid Yakobson. A tightly focused and fascinating study of Leonid Yakobson's work, this biography presents its subject through the multiple ideologies of which he was both a product and a critic, offering a view of him as an artist, a citizen, a Jew, and a man of high-minded principle. Yakobson, a contradictory and fascinating artist, challenged censors, staging resistance from within the most public vocabulary of compliance - classical ballet. Ross's book traces how Yakobson was an artist of contradictions, a modernist who made war on ballet and used unconventional movement while making dances for the leading Soviet companies and Russia's greatest dancers.RUSВ своей книге Дженис Росс исследует богатую и сложную историю советского балета сквозь призму творчества одного из главных возмутителей спокойствия, Леонида Якобсона. Якобсон бросал вызов цензорам, преодолевая жесткие эстетические рамки статичного и консервативного советского балета. Он был художником противоречий, м&a

ENGThis timely book analyses the status of hydrocarbon energy in Russia as both a saleable commodity and as a source of societal and political power. Through empirical studies in domestic and foreign policy contexts, Veli-Pekka Tykkynen explores the development of a hydrocarbon culture in Russia and the impact this has on its politics, identity and approach to climate change and renewable energy.RUSКнига «Энергия России: Углеводородная культура и изменение климата» рассказывает о том, как нефть и газ текут через российское общество. В работе исследуется и то, как зависимость от ископаемых источников энергии объясняется и оправдывается в глазах простых россиян и какую роль эти источники играют в политике страны. Хотя современная Россия полностью зависит от нефти и газа, ст&

ENG: The American Jewish Communist movement played a major role in the politics of Jewish communities in cities such as Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia, as well as many other centers, between the 1920s and the 1950s. Making extensive use of Yiddish-language books, newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, and other materials, Dreams of Nationhood traces the ideological and material support provided to the Jewish Autonomous Region of Birobidzhan in the far east of the Soviet Union by two American Jewish Communist-led organizations, the ICOR and the American Birobidjan Committee. By providing a detailed historical examination of the political work of these two groups, the book makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of 20th century Jewish life in the United States.RUS: Еврейское коммунистическое движение в период с 1920-х по 1950-е годы играло важную роль в политике еврейских общин в таких американских городах, как Бостон, Чикаго, Лос-Анджелес, Нью-Йорк, Филадельфия. Опираясь на книги, газеты, периодические издания, памфлеты и другие материалы на идише, Генри Сребрник рассказывает о той идеологической и материальной поддержке, которую Еврейской автономной области Биробиджана оказывали две американские организации -- Организация еврейской колонизации в России и Американский Биробиджанский комитет.

ENG: The overwhelming scientific evidence indicates that planet Earth is in the process of undergoing dramatic climate change, which threatens to undermine the quality of life around the world. Irrationality of Capitalism and Climate Change demonstrates how the roots of humanity's assault on the environment are directly associated with the origins of capitalism, an irrational social system in which reproduction of capital on a global scale is destructive to the environment. The author begins with a philosophical analysis of the role that reason and passion assume in social systems., then traces the local and regional environmental effects of preindustrial social systems. The author argues that nations are faced with a global challenge, to construct life-affirming policy that functions as an alternative to the global devastation that the accumulation of capital causes. The book concludes by proposing rational socialism, a life-affirming social system that functions in harmony with the environment.RUS: Книга Эндрю Колина демонстрирует, что корни разрушения человеком природы напрямую связаны с происхождением капитализма - социальной системы, в которой воспроизводство капитала в глобальном масштабе разрушительно для окружающей среды. Автор начинает с философского анализа роли, которую разум и страсть играют в социальных системах, а затем прослеживает экологические последствия стимулируемой ими деятельности. Колин утверждает, что перед современными государствами стоит гло
