This short review looks critically at the new book about wars of Vendee. This book is an ambitious project of one historian and also one journalist, who make an attempt to use a new approach to the western counter-revolution. They wanted to use prosopography in contrast with their colleagues, who preferred an economic history, and also told about the images, turned at the gender history, at the question of vendeen government. They wanted to create new general and well-structured view, but that ambitious attempt was unsuccessful. The structure of the volume isn't enough clear, the conclusion doesn't exist, and a reader can't always the approach of the authors. Also, the authors use too much citations of the sources, which are really well-known to the historians of western counter-revolution. Finally, the authors choose unobvious examples for speaking, in example, about significant person of insurrection. And there are the reasons, why their work was not enough successful. ; Эта рецензия посвящена критическому обзору новой книги на тему Вандейских войн. Эта работа – амбициозный проект журналиста и историка, которые попытались дать новый взгляд на западную контрреволюцию. В противоположность своим коллегам, предпочитавшим исследовать экономическую историю, авторы решили обратиться к просопографии, истории образа, гендерной истории, вопросу вандейского правительства. Они хотели дать общий, хорошо структурированный взгляд, но эта амбициозная попытка не реализовалась. Структура книги недостаточно очевидна, общий вывод отсутствует, и читатель не всегда не может понять точку зрения авторов. Также авторы злоупотребляют цитированием источников, известных любому историку западной контрреволюции. В итоге эта работа так, к сожалению, и не стала достаточно успешной новой попыткой осмысления Вандейского восстания.

"The 12th volume of the Archive opens with a study by Yefim Melamed (Kyiv) on the history of Stalinist secret services' surveillance of Jewish writers in the late 1930s and early 1950s, which resulted in repression and the physical destruction of many of them. In the appendix to his article, a unique material is published - reports of a secret agent who reported on the activities of the "fellow-writers". Grigory Khan (Moscow) makes another contribution to the study of the "endless" topic: the Jews and the Russian revolution. His research is dedicated to Aaron Zundelevich (1852-1923), a prominent figure in the narodnik movement, a member of the Executive Committee of the Narodnaya Volya organization (lit. People's Will). Roberta de Giorgi (Udine, Italy) devoted her extensive research to the history of translations and publication of Leo Tolstoy's Three Tales, which, at the request of Sholom Aleichem, gave him for publication in a collection in favor of the Jews who suffered from the pogrom in Chișinău. The story turned out to be extremely intricate and fascinating, and it adds additional touches to the biography of Leo Tolstoy, Sholom Aleichem, as well as to the history of literary life and publishing in the early twentieth century. Maria Gulakova (St. Petersburg) publishes a letter from the ethnographer and public figure Moses Krol (1862-1942) to Chaim Zhitlowsky. Information contained in a letter from Krol (then an émigré in Paris) dated March 26, 1936, sheds light on a little-known attempt to organize the resettlement of European Jews in the 1930s in Ecuador. The published materials are based on documents extracted from various archives in Moscow, Kyiv, New York, Jerusalem and Leeds."--

Here, for the first time in English translation, are contemporary accounts of working-class life during the final decades of the Russian Empire. Written by workers and other close observers of their milieu, these five selections recreate the world of Russian labor during a period of rapid industrialization and social change, a world far more complex and varied than has often been assumed. The accounts in The Russian Worker explore the daily experiences, social relations, and aspirations of factory, artisanal, and sales-clerical workers, both in and outside the place of employment. Through the eyes of contemporaries we see the routine, the organization of work, and authority relations on the shop floor as well as conditions that workers encountered in providing for food and lodging and their experiences in the areas of religion, recreation, cultural activities, family ties, and links with the countryside. With its vivid and detailed descriptions of working-class life, The Russian Worker provides new material on such important topics as the formation of workers' social identities, the position of women, patterns of stratification, and workers' concepts of status differentiation. An introductory essay by Victoria Bonnell places the selections in a historical context and examines some of the central issues in the study of Russian labor. The collection will be of value not only to specialists in the Russian field, but also to historians, sociologists, economists, and others with an interest in the sociology of work, and the history of working women

The article on the example of a military biography of Lieutenant F. I. Bytchekhvost demonstrated the possibilities of biographical reconstruction using different types of sources, methods and principles of historical research.

The discussion is dedicated to the question whether it is possible to overcome the power asymmetry between researchers and their subjects in the study of childhood, or at the very least to reduce the gulf between researchers and the objects of their studies. the "new sociology of childhood" places the individual personality of the child and their personal interests at the centre of scholarly investigation, though its central presuppositions remain largely controversial. the focus on children's subjectivity in academic work is related to the public acknowledgement of children's agency as political and legal subjects. the participants discuss ethical and methodological problems related to children as subjects in Childhood Studies.

Key witnesses shed light on an essential part of the history of music. "In the Soviet Union, from 1917 to 1990, in an extremely difficult context, one of terror even, there developed one of the most intense and richest musical environments of the 20th century ...," writes Bruno Monsaingeon. A fascinating mystery that Monsaingeon attempts to elucidate in his film. This essential period of music history is recounted through conductor Guennadi Rojdestvenski, the last remaining representative of these fabulous performers of the Soviet era (he was born in 1931). He is full of humour and it is a treat to watch him explain why there are two page-295's in the biography of Prokofiev published in 1957 and to hear him talk about Tikhon Khrenikov, the terrifying secretary general of the Union of Composers who was in office for forty years ... Other witnesses include the conductor Rudolf Barshai "One day, I said to myself, enough is enough, and I decided to leave", the pianist Viktoria Postnikova: "Even seated in the plane, they could come and fetch you and say, Out!" and the central figure of composer, Dimitri Shostakovich: "If I look back, I only see ashes and bodies."
