Аннотация
Что это? Бред? Кома? Или он и впрямь оказался в мире, живущем по правилам игровых реалий? Прокачка себя любимого, умения, навыки, дерево развития, уровни, артефакты. Вроде бы и Россия, но отчего-то раскинувшаяся на территории многочисленных архипелагов. Царь, князья, бояре, дружины, пароходы, пираты… Поверить в окружающую реальность трудно. Однако, бред это или нет, лучше все же принять существующие реалии и вписаться в этот мир. Пропасть-то всегда успеется.
Аннотация
Igor Torbakov explores the nexus between various forms of Russian political imagination and the apparently cyclic process of decline and fall of Russia’s imperial polity over the last hundred years. While Russia’s historical process is by no means unique, two features of its historical development stand out. First, the country’s history is characterized by dramatic political discontinuity. In the past century, Russia changed its “historical skin” three times: following the disintegration of the Tsarist Empire accompanied by violent civil war, it was reconstituted as the communist USSR, whose breakup a quarter century ago led to the emergence of the present-day Russian Federation. Each of the dramatic transformations in the 20th century powerfully affected the notion of what “Russia” is and what it means to be Russian. Second, alongside Russia’s political instability, there is, paradoxically, a striking picture of geopolitical stability and of remarkable longevity as an imperial entity. At least since the beginning of the 18th century, “Russia” has been a permanent geopolitical fixture on Europe’s north-eastern margins with its persistent pretense to the status of a great power.
Against this backdrop, the book’s three sections investigate (a) the emergence and development of Eurasianism as a form of (post-)imperial ideology, (b) the crucial role Ukraine has historically played for the Russians’ self-understanding, and (c) the contemporary Russian elites’ exercises in historical legitimation.

A fearless diplomat. A dangerous mission. And only one way out.
Joey Torino would be out-of-the-mould in almost any career. He is tough, independent, and doesn't shy away from confrontation. But he is an American diplomat, who has recently been suspended and recalled to Washington because of his involvement in a fight while assigned to the US embassy in Moscow.
In spite of his reputation, or because of it, the senior levels of the State Department choose him for an unusual and dangerous assignment. A diplomatic colleague from the US Embassy in Moscow has gone missing in the high mountains of the Caucasus, where a local rebellion is being suppressed by Russian military forces.
For the State Department, Torino is expendable. Sending him on this mission will show the US government is trying to find the missing diplomat, but it will also be a small gesture and will not alarm the Russian government.
Torino doesn't hesitate to plunge into the middle of the conflict. But he finds a complex situation, from which there is no easy way out and where the best conclusion may not be the one he has been asked to deliver.
When he chooses the dangerous path, the conflicting forces are closing in on him. Will the fearless Joey Torino find a way out?
