Costume ball in the Winter palace. 2 volumes. / Kostiumirovannyi bal v Zimnem dvortse  Bi-lingual English-Russian edition. published in 2003 Volume 1: Album with photographs with biographical references / Al'bom s fotografiiami i biograficheskimi stat'iami. 464pp., 198 photographs, some in colour . 
Volume  2: Research, documents, materials with added notes and a coloured section of the garments worn which moved through various museums in the 1930-ies. This volume is in English only 128pp.,  
Also added is a supplement with photographs of the guests at the ball not included in the album as separate pictures. Edition of  4000 copies One hundred years ago the office in charge of editing the State papers started work on the creation of a unique album : that of photogravures and photographs of the guests at the costume ball that took place in the winter Palace on 11 and 13 February 1903. The participants all wore 17th century clothing. In the end it was the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna herself who became the editor-in-chief of this album. Only a few copies of the original album survive in libraries and private collections. This edition is not a reprint of that rare 1904 volume, but it is an attempt by the publishers to show the guests of the ball as we see them today, one hundred years later. It is the scene of a bygone era, the last such event in the history of the House of Romanov. Over one hundred photographs have been traced and these have been provided with full biographical details, although many of these notes finish with the lines "fate after 1917 unknown". A number of photographs not included in the 1904 edition have been added here. The main volume contains the photographs with texts in Russian and English. The photographs, measuring  140 x 260 mm.,  are magnificent. The 2nd volume, entirely in English, contains the newly found photographs and editorial materials, modern photographs of some of the uniforms, dresses, clothing surviving in some museums in full colours. 2 Hardbacks in slip case. £375.00 

Knjazhij Izbornik za vyzpitanie na kanartikina volumes 1 and 2 Ed. By Professor William Veder
A book compiled ca. 930 by (or at the behest of) czar Peter I for the moral education of his son Boris II. Its text, printed in Glagolitic, is accompanied in Cyrillic by the version derived from it ca. 960 by Boris II for the education of his children, preserved in transcription from the original Glagolitic in the Izbornik of 1076. The differences between the two texts are traceable in a comprehensive index of words and forms in Cyrillic and Glagolitic. 2008, 504 pages. £ 80.00

Veder, W.L., with Johnnes G. van der Tak and Susana Torres Prieto-Hay (editors)  The Scete Paterikon. Introduction and Indices. 494 pages, Patericon Sceticum. Greek Text, Latin Translations and English Translation of the Slavonic Textus Receptus. ( Pegasus Oost-Europese Studies 12 & 13) , 500 pages, 2 volumes, paperbacks, £95
The Scete Paterikon is the Slavonic translation of a Greek collection of Apophthegmata Patrum. 'They may be viewed, in part, as conscious Christian rivals to the many anthologies of maxims of pagan thinkers, while unconsciously providing one of the most fascinating sources of social and intellectual life in the late Roman
period' (B. Baldwin in the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium). It comprises ca. 1100 anecdotes, exhortations and sayings of the fathers of Christian monasticism in Egypt and Palestine, as well as St John Chrysostom.
The Slavonic text (ca. 96000 words) is the longest as yet identified to belong to the period of the mission to Morava (863-885); it can be attributed to St Methodius. Its impact on the conversion of the Slavs to Christ-ianity was massive, as witnessed by the efflorescence of monastic establishments in and around the cities
of Pliska and Preslav in Bulgaria after 886 and the similar efflorescence at Kiev in Russia after 1036. Consequently, it has a massive and uninterrupted manuscript tradition well into the 17th century. All the major branches of this tradition are identified and represented in this edition, which is not, as customary in Slavic studies, an edition of a single manuscript. It presents two versions of the text, a Cyrillic textus receptus and a Glagolitic textus reconstructus, their differences recorded in a full index of words and forms, of which roughly a quarter are not attested in the so-called canon of Slavonic manuscripts. A full apparatus of variant readings is appended. to each apophthegm. The Greek text underlying the Slavonic translation is not that reflected in the standard edition of the Systematic Collection of Apophthegmata Patrum by J.-C. Guy (Sources chrétiennes 387, 474, 498). It is the same text that underlies all Latin translations of the 6th century and which is partially preserved in two Italo-Greek manuscripts as well as in the Alphabetic-Anonymous Collection of Apophthegmata Patrum. It is also the text that underlies the Armenian and Syriac translations of the early 6th century. The Greek text is reconstructed from the available evidence using the criterium of harmony with its translations and requiring minimal conjecture. Some sixty apophthegms of the Anonymous Collection are edited in Greek for the first time. The Greek text is confronted with the Latin translation of Pelagius and John (before ca. 560), its gaps filled with the other early Latin translations, foremost that of Paschasius of Dumio (ca. 570-580). It is laid out in full parallel to the Slavonic translation. What more would a student of the early Christian world and the vicissitudes of the transmission of texts in it wish to have? Of course, maps, a full index of names and Biblical quotations and references, as well as alphabetic listings of the initia of the apophthegms in Greek, Latin and Slavonic.  

Rosenfeldt, Niels Erik  The "Special" World. Stalin's power apparatus and the soviet system's secret Structures of communication 2 volumes, 2009, 1153pp.,  illustrated. When the Soviet Union collapsed the formerly closed archives were opened for research to a certain degree. Since the mid-nineties Niels Erik Rosenfeldt has on several occasions visited these archives. Partly based on this research he here presents a thorough and groundbreaking study of some of the most secret structures of Soviet society - especially in the Stalin era.  As a starting point Niels Erik Rosenfeldt presents a detailed description of the principles and procedures for secrecy in the Soviet System of the 1920s. This is followed by an investigation of the development of Stalin's secret chancellery - the "Secret Department", the "Special Sector" - from the early 1920s to the death of Stalin in 1953, and of the various internal and external factors affecting the growth, shape and operational scope of this apparatus during the same period. More specifically there is a lengthy discussion of the role of the secret chancellery in the Soviet decision-making process.  In the analysis of the Soviet State Security Service the main emphasis is placed on the central complex of ultra-secret "special departments" and "special sections". The examination of the apparatus of the Communist International focuses on the clandestine chancellery and communication departments which can - more or less directly - be compared to the structural pattern of Stalin's secret chancellery and related offices in the Soviet Communist Party.

Maksimov, Vladimir, et al. (eds.) KONTINENT/ CONTINENT volumes 2 - 110, 115,117 - 133 - 136 (1974 - 2008 The journal Continent/Kontinent was founded in 1974 by a well-known writer and dissident Vladimir Maksimov. (  Vladimir Yemelyanovich Maksimov = LEV ALEKSEYEVICH SAMSONOV, Russian writer (b. Dec. 10, 1930, Moscow, U.S.S.R.--d. March 26, 1995, Paris, France),  The name for this new uncensored journal of the Russian democratic movement was suggested by A. Solzhenitsyn. During the 16 years of its publishing in Paris the magazine became one of the most prestigious and influential voices against communist ideology.

In 1992 Igor Vinogradov became the new editor-in -chief, starting with the issue 72. I. Vinogradov started his creative career in the Tvardovsky's Noviy Mir, and is well known in Russia for his democratic views. The magazine has not started a new issue numbering system, but was reregistered in the Ministry of Mass Media and Information of the Russian Federation and became a part of the Russian media. Currently Continent has representatives in USA, Canada, France, Israel, Italy, Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Currently the editorial board includes, among others, V. Aksenov, N. Korgavin, S. Averintsev, G. Vladimov, O. Cleman, E. Neizvestniy and G. Nivat.

Saint Archbishop Sava (or Saint Sabbas;  Sveti Sava) (1175 - January 14, 1235), originally the prince Rastko Nemanjic' , son of the Serbian ruler and founder of the Serbian medieval state Stefan Nemanja and brother of Stefan Prvoventsani, first Serbian king, is the first Archbishop of Serbia (1219-1233), the most important saint in the Serbian Orthodox Church . Rastko was born ca. 1175 in Gradina (near modern-day Podgorica, Montenegro).  In his youth (c. 1192), he fled from his home to join the orthodox monastic colony on Mount Athos (Holy Mountain on the Chalkidiki peninsula) and was given the name Sava. He first traveled to a Russian monastery and then moved to the Greek Monastery of Vatopedi. At the end of 1197 his father, who on becoming a monk was named Simeon joined him. In 1198 they together moved to and restored the abandoned monastery Hilandar (Chilandari, in French) which, since that moment, became the center of Serbian Christian monastic life. Hilandar is one of the twenty monasteries on Mount Athos that still function, and its position in the hierarchy is fourth. £450

Kamchatnov, Al. (ed.) Paleia tolkovaia. 2002.  647pp.,  b.t., t.p. The text of Paleia in Old Russian  prepared and translated into Modern Russian by Al. Kamchatnov.  The book  includes a foreword by Vadim Kozhinov, a commentary by  Vl. Mil'kov and S. Polianskii, a preface by  Al. Kamchatnov and an  article on wording, contents, and religious and philosophical, and  encyclopaedic value of the literary monument by Vl. Mil'kov and S. Polianskii. This is the first translation of the Old Russian manuscript written in 1406. Paleia is an interpretation of the Old Testament.  Dmitrii Likhachev  also contributed to this edition.The Paleya Tolkovaya is an outstanding memorial of early Russian medieval literature. As there was no full Slavonic text of the Holy Bible the Paleya used to be the main source of knowledge of the Saint History of the Old Testament. Besides the Bible narration itself the Paleya contains numerous interpretations of theological, philosophical, and natural science character combined with harsh religious polemics with paganism, Judaism, and Islam. That's why the Paleya is a brilliant example of a medieval encyclopedia. In spite of all signs of a wonderful masterpiece of Old Russian literature the Paleya Tolkovaya has never been translated into modern Russian, and its Old Russian text was published only once in the end of the 19th century thanks to Ph.D. Tikhonravov's students. The basic text was published according to the oldest Kolomenskiy version with differences of 9 later copies given. Such outstanding connoisseurs of Old Russian literature as academicians Dmitriy S. Likhachiov and Alexander M. Panchenko used to mention the necessity of giving scientific comments to the edition of the Paleya and its translation. A great scientist and critic Vadim V. Kozhinov became an initiator of such an edition. In this edition Ph.D. Alexander M. Kamchatnov prepared a united Old Russian text of the Paleya Tolkovaya, which is the first experience of such linguistic work in Russian science. He also made a translation of the most complicated Old Russian text into modern Russian. Highly detailed theological, philosophical, and historical comments written by Ph.D. Vladimir V. Milkov and Master of Arts Sergey M. Polyanskiy follow the text. The edition is illustrated with the drawings from the ancient text  made by an outstanding artist:  A. N. Agarkov. The decoration of the book was made by Prof. Alexander B. Konopliov. £275
