Agents of Terror
Ordinary Men and Extraordinary Violence in Stalin’s Secret Police
Edited, translated, and with an introduction by Seth Bernstein Foreword by Oleg Khlevniuk

“Groundbreaking. In the first detailed description of Stalin’s mass terror, Vatlin unfolds the day-to-day working of the Soviet political police who carried out orders to select, arrest, interrogate, and often murder their fellow citizens. An absorbing, heartrending account.”
—David Shearer, author of Policing Stalin’s Socialism

How Russia Learned to Write
Literature and the Imperial Table of Ranks
Irina Reyfman

“Compelling, clever, and persuasive. Examining many Russian writers’ self-fashioning as members of the nobility and their careers in public service, Reyfman admirably shows that the understanding of rank should inflect all our arguments and histories of the writing profession in Russia.”
—Luba Golburt, University of California, Berkeley

The Invisible Jewish Budapest
Metropolitan Culture at the Fin de Siècle
Mary Gluck
