In its radicalism, this upheaval against Western values had far-reaching consequences across the world. Its repercussions can still be felt today. Germany and Russia formed the center of this insurrection against those ideas, norms, and approaches usually associated with the West. Leonid Luks?s essays deal with various causes and results of these Russian and German anti-Western uprisings in twentieth-century Europe. The book also touches upon the development of the peculiar post-Soviet Russian regime that, after the collapse of the USSR, emerged on the ruins of the Bolshevik state that had been established in 1917. What were the determinants of the erosion of the ?second? Russian democracy (after the first of February 1917) that had been briefly established following the disempowerment of the CPSU in August 1991, and that existed until the rise of Vladimir Putin? Further foci of this wide-ranging collection of essays include the specific ?geopolitical trap? in which Poland?constrained by its two powerful neighbors?was caught for centuries. Finally, Luks explores the special relationship that all three countries of Central and Eastern Europe?s ?fateful triangle? had with Judaism and the Jews. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$v184. 606 $aPolitics 606 $aGermany 606 $aRussia 606 $aPoland 606 $aHistory 606 $aGeschichte 606 $aPolitik 606 $aDeutschland 606 $aRussland 606 $aPolen 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aGermany 615 4$aRussia 615 4$aPoland 615 4$aHistory 615 4$aGeschichte 615 4$aPolitik 615 4$aDeutschland 615 4$aRussland 615 4$aPolen 676 $a947 700 $aLuks$b Leonid$cProf. Dr.$4aut$01635219 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972144803321 996 $aA fateful triangle$93975880 997 $aUNINA
