People in every corner of the Soviet Union lived in daily terror of imprisonment and execution. In researching the surviving threads of memoirs and oral reminiscences of five women victimized by the Gulag, author Paul R. Gregory has stitched together a collection of stories from the female perspective, a view in short supply. Capturing the fear, paranoia, and unbearable hardship that were hallmarks of Stalin's Great Terror, Gregory relates the stories of five women from different social strata and regions in vivid prose, from their pre-Gulag lives, through their struggles to survive in the repressive atmosphere of the late 1930s and early 1940s, to the difficulties facing the four who survived as they adjusted to life after the Gulag. These firsthand accounts illustrate how even the wrong word could become a crime against the state. The book begins with a synopsis of Stalin's rise to power, the roots of the Gulag, and the scheming and plotting that led to and persisted in one of the bloodiest, most egregious dictatorships of the 20th century.Hoover Institution Press publication ;631.Women political prisonersSoviet UnionBiographyPolitical persecutionSoviet UnionInternment campsSoviet UnionPrisonsSoviet UnionForced laborSoviet UnionSoviet UnionHistory1925-1953Women political prisonersPolitical persecutionInternment campsPrisonsForced labor365/.45092520947Gregory Paul R119311MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964082203321Women of the Gulag4358053UNINA02661nam 22006494a 450 991097484530332120251116175514.01-134-26512-31-134-26513-11-280-17750-00-203-02331-510.4324/9780203023310 (CKB)1000000000249406(EBL)178414(OCoLC)252703897(SSID)ssj0000142941(PQKBManifestationID)11164649(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000142941(PQKBWorkID)10097554(PQKB)10707177(MiAaPQ)EBC178414(Au-PeEL)EBL178414(CaPaEBR)ebr10162627(CaONFJC)MIL17750(OCoLC)61324855(EXLCZ)99100000000024940620040726d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrEcological modernisation and Japan /edited by Brendan F.D.

Ecological Modernisation and Japan explores this transformation and looks at Japan as a case for ecological modernisation while contextualising the discussion within its unique history and recent discussions about globalisation and sustainability. It makes a significant contribution to the ecological modernisation debate by unpacking the Japanese environmental experience.Environmental policyJapanEcologyJapanEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsJapanEnvironmental policyEcologyEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspects333.72/0952Barrett Brendan F.
