Just north of the Arctic Circle is the settlement of Vorkuta, a notorious camp in the Gulag internment system that witnessed three pivotal moments in Russian history. In the 1930s, a desperate hunger strike by socialist prisoners, victims of Joseph Stalin’s repressive regime, resulted in mass executions. In 1953, a strike by forced labourers sounded the death knell for the Stalinist forced labour system. And finally, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a series of strikes by new, independent miners’ unions were central to overturning the Stalinist system.
Paul Kellogg uses the story of Vorkuta as a frame with which to re-assess the Russian Revolution. In particular, he turns to the contributions of Iulii Martov, a contemporary of Lenin, and his analysis of the central role played in the revolution by a temporary class of peasants-in-uniform. Kellogg explores the persistence and creativity of workers’ resistance in even the darkest hours of authoritarian repression and offers new perspectives on the failure of democratic governance after the Russian Revolution.

Описание:
The most comprehensive photographic study to date of animals in captivity, LIFE BEHIND BARS, examines exotic and endangered animals and the necessity of their captivity for their own protection, and that of their species. The very real risk of many species potentially becoming extinct in the shockingly near future is highlighted in short, informative texts. Julian Starks has traveled all over the United States to institutions and sanctuaries to document these stunning creatures that are no longer threatened but living full, happy lives.
Julian Starks started his non profit, Visions of the World Inc., with the mission to raise awareness, change perceptions, educate, and support those who need representation. While creating this book, it was an important goal for Starks to support the wild animal sanctuaries and institutions that protect and preserve endangered species. A portion of the proceeds for LIFE BEHIND BARS book sales and associated merchandise will go directly to these institutions.
