Seven links

• To the 70th anniversary of Stalin's death. Conversation with historian Anatoly Razumov about the reaction of Soviet people to the death of the dictator, an interview with the professor of history and political science at the University of Michigan, Ronald Grigor Suni about the personality of Stalin and his (imaginary) necessity in Russian history. Or the death of Stalin through the eyes of American diplomats in Moscow and leadership in Washington.
• Consuming the current. The collection of articles “in the face of a disaster”, in which Russian -speaking philosophers living around the world try to comprehend the war in Ukraine, its causes and consequences (surprisingly comforting reading). Or the article by Yuri Saprykin “The future ended, reality began” from the collective collection “24 Words”, which was published in St. Petersburg in “Signature Publications”.
• Soviet. The story of the most interesting Soviet hotels and the rules that were instituted in them. Or an excerpt from the book by Sheila Fitzpatrick “The Sr. History of the Soviet Union” (Publishing House of Alpina Non-Fixes), dedicated to the vulnerabilities of the economic system of the USSR, which became obvious in the 1960s.

Sincerely yours,
