La historia de Ucrania contada a través de una apasionante saga familiar, que recuerda el impacto de Unorthodox, Todo está iluminado o La octava vida «Me dejó sin respiración. Una de las mejores autobiografías del año». —R. Tomaszewska, Virago (Reino Unido) En 2014, Vika regresa a su Ucrania natal para investigar un misterio familiar: cómo murió su tío tatarabuelo Nikodim en la década de 1930 y por qué su historia sigue siendo tabú casi un siglo después. Desentrañar viejas incógnitas resulta complicado, pero nunca habría previsto que la resistencia más fuerte la encontraría en su abuela Valentina, que le prohíbe remover el pasado. No en vano Ucrania es «tierra de sangre», como sus vecinas Polonia, Bielorrusia, Rusia y los países bálticos: en el área de Poltava, donde residió la familia, el KGB desapareció hace ya mucho, pero su antiguo cuartel general todavía aterroriza a los lugareños. Mientras el país se sumerge en un nuevo conflicto con Rusia tras la anexión de Crimea, el lector acompaña a Vika entre los temidos archivos del KGB en busca de la verdad sobre el pasado del país y sobre Nikodim, incluso a riesgo de un enfrentamiento directo con su familia. Entre el memoir y la novela detectivesca, esta obra conjuga su enorme carga emocional con un lúcido análisis de la historia. Al tiempo que Victoria Belim terminaba esta novela sobre una Ucrania que intentaba hacer las paces con su pasado y florecer, su tierra se enfrentaba de nuevo al dolor de otra cruel guerra. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The history of Ukraine told through a fascinating family saga, reminiscent of Unorthodox, Everything Is Illuminated, and The Eighth Life. “It left me breathless. One of the best autobiographies of the year.” —R. Tomaszewska, Virago (United Kingdom) In 2014, Vika returns to her native Ukraine to investigate a family mystery: how her great-great-uncle Nikodim died back in the nineteen thirties and why his story is still taboo almost a century later. Unraveling old riddles is complicated, but she never would have foreseen that the greatest resistance would come from her grandmother Valentina, who forbids her to stir the past. Not in vain Ukraine is “the land of blood,” just as the neighboring Poland, Belarus, Russia, and the Baltic countries. In the region of Poltava, where the family resided, the KGB disappeared long ago, but the former headquarters still terrorizes the locals. While the country plunges into a new conflict with Russia after the annexation of Crimea, the reader follows Vika through the feared KGB archives in search of the truth about the country’s past and about Nikodim, even risking a direct confrontation with her family. Half memoir, half detective story, this novel combines an enormous emotional charge with clear historical analysis. At the time Victoria Belim was finishing this novel about a Ukraine attempting to make peace with its past and flourish, her land was facing yet again the pain of another cruel war.

Since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, former Soviet republic Ukraine has struggled against its “giant neighbor to the north”—Russia— to maintain its sovereignty. In early 2014 tensions turned to conflict as Vladimir Putin, determined to keep Ukraine from forging stronger ties with the West, seized Crimea and fomented conflict in eastern Ukraine. In the latest Brookings essay, Chrystia Freeland, a former Ukrainian-based reporter with strong family ties to the country, offers a personal reflection on the conflict and the sentiment of the Ukrainian people. She highlights the fact that despite historic, cultural, and linguistic ties between the two countries, Ukrainians stand defiant in their desire for independence.

Il 17 marzo 2023 la Pre-Trial Chamber II della Corte penale internazionale con sede a L’Aja ha emesso il mandato di arresto nei confronti di Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, per i crimini di guerra di deportazione e trasferimento illegale di bambini dalle aree occupate dell’Ucraina alla Federazione Russa. Un anno prima, le immagini dell’aggressione russa all’Ucraina avevano indignato il mondo che, solo da qualche mese, stava uscendo dalla tragedia della pandemia da virus SARS COVID-19. A distanza di cento anni due eventi catastrofici, virus e guerra, sono tornati insieme a colpire il mondo, dopo che nel 1918 alla fine della Prima guerra mondiale, la grande influenza, o influenza spagnola, iniziò a circolare in alcuni paesi del mondo. Pandemia e guerra, allora come oggi, causa di innumerevoli decessi, soprattutto tra i cosiddetti giovani adulti. La ricerca Mind The Queue! 3, sempre dedicata alla catastrofe del coronavirus e delle sue incidenze sulla società contemporanea, conclude l’approfondimento sulla pandemia, questa volta con uno studio condotto anche sulla contestuale, tragica catastrofe della guerra di aggressione russa in Ucraina, sui giovani adulti di nove Paesi del mondo: Congo, Cuba, Italia, Messico, Pakistan, Siria, Ucraina, Stati Uniti e Venezuela.

In marked contrast to the United States, with its territorial stability, some countries, such as Bulgaria and Ethiopia, reorganize their regional subdivisions frequently. This large-format reference work simplifies the comparison of decades' worth of data from such countries: "With this book in hand, one can answer any administrative subdivision question about any state or province in the world from 1900 through 1998"--Abstracts of Public Administration, Development and Environment. For each country there is at least one table, and usually several. Histories of subdivision changes and lists of alternate names for subdivisions in each country add to the work's research value. All relevant national and international standards such as ISO and FIPS codes are listed, as well as time zones, populations, areas and capitals for each subdivision. There is a comprehensive index of names.

For readers of Putin's People by Catherine Belton comes the stunning story of Russia's slide back into a dictatorship led by Vladimir Putin - and how the world is now paying the price. 'Brave, trenchant and convincing' Sunday Times 'Ferocious and unforgiving' Financial Times The ascension of Vladimir Putin - a former lieutenant colonel of the KGB - to the presidency of Russia in 1999 was a strong signal that the country was headed away from democracy. Yet in the intervening years - as America and the world's other leading powers have continued to appease him - Putin has grown not only into a dictator but an international threat. With his vast resources and nuclear arsenal, Putin is at the centre of a worldwide assault on political liberty and the modern world order. For Garry Kasparov, none of this is news. He has been a vocal critic of Putin for over a decade, even leading the pro-democracy opposition to him in the farcical 2008 presidential election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies about Putin's intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with a darker truth: Putin's Russia, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, defines itself in opposition to the free countries of the world. As Putin has grown ever more powerful, the threat he poses has grown from local to regional and finally to global. In this urgent book, Kasparov shows that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not an endpoint - only a change of seasons, as the Cold War melted into a new spring. But now, after years of complacency and poor judgement, winter is once again upon us. Argued with the force of Kasparov's world-class intelligence, conviction and hopes for his home country, Winter Is Coming reveals Putin for what he is: an existential danger hiding in plain sight.
