The book by Nikolay Starikov, the author of bestselling Rouble Nationalization - the Way to Russias Freedom, Who set Hitler against Stalin? and many others, follows the events of the Civil War. The Russian statesmanship, its territorial integrity, and the economy of the country perished in the vortex of the Civil War. The Romanovs, the Russian Navy, the Russian Army, and millions of Russians were destroyed. The consequences of this horrible civil strife have not been overcome until today. In this book, you will find a lot of little-known facts, as well as answers to many questions: - Who staged and directed the liquidation of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century? - Who needed the Russian strife and who could gain from it? - Who forced Lenin to liquidate the Tsars family? - Who is guilty of the murder of Nicholas IIs children? - Why did the leaders of the revolution repeatedly try to drown their own navy? - Why did Vladimir Lenin order to execute the Tsars family and at the same time ensured safety of other members of the Tsar dynasty? - Why didnt the Entente help the White movement? - Why was Admiral Kolchak murdered and why did the White Guard soldiers have to fight? - Who made the soldiers of General Yudenich die in Estonian extermination camps? - Who needed to have the troops of Denikin, Kolchak, Yudenich, and Wrangel liquidated?

No nineteenth-century American writer can claim to be as modern as Henry David Thoreau. His central preoccupations - the illusory nature of much of what we call progress, the proper symbiotic relationship between man and the natural environment, the limitations of government, especially where it seeks to intrude on the personal, the moral and political case for non-violence, the dubious pleasures of material comforts, our intoxication with excess, our unrelenting search for the rules by which we might live our lives - these, and many other matters are as real to us now as they were to Thoreau in 1845 when he began his experiment in self-sufficiency. Walden is his autobiographical record of his life of relative isolation at Walden Pond, some twenty miles west of the city of Boston, but it is also a work of detailed natural history and the expression of a philosophy of life by a deeply poetic sensibility. His essay (originally a lecture), Civil Disobedience, has over the 150 or so years since its publication exerted an enormous influence, animating thinkers such as Leo Tolstoy and Mohandas Gandhi as well as political movements such as the British Labour Party, the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, and various forms of oppositional activism across the globe. Walden and Civil Disobedience are reprinted here in a new edition alongside three of Thoreaus seminal essays, Slavery in Massachusetts, A Plea for Captain John Brown, and Life Without Principle. Henry Claridges introduction illuminates the extent to which Thoreaus writings and his thinking were a response to the dramatic changes wrought by the physical expansion of the United States and the migration of European peoples across the American sub-continent in the first half of the nineteenth-century. The edition also comes with a bibliography and extensive explanatory notes.
