For Russian modernists in search of a past, there were many antiquities of different provenances and varying degrees of prestige from which to choose: Greece or Rome; Byzantium or Egypt. The modernists central to "Our Native Antiquity" located their antiquity in the Eurasian steppes, where they found objects and sites long denigrated as archaeological curiosities. The book follows the exemplary careers of two objects-the so-called "Stone Women" and the kurgan, or burial mound-and the attention paid to them by Russian and Soviet archaeologists, writers, artists, and filmmakers, for whom these artifacts served as resources for modernist art and letters and as arenas for a contest between vying conceptions of Russian art, culture, and history.

The Göttingen mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss and the Norwegian astronomer and physicist Christopher Hansteen engaged in a lively correspondence, which lasted from 1832 until Gauss’s death in 1855. For the first time, this book offers a critical edition of the surviving letters. A key theme is research on the earth’s magnetism, a field within the newly emerging discipline of geophysics. Zwischen dem Göttinger Mathematiker Carl Friedrich Gauß und dem norwegischen Astronom und Physiker Christopher Hansteen liegt ein reger Briefwechsel vor. Er begann im Jahre 1832, zu dem Zeitpunkt, als sich Gauß dem Studium des Erdmagnetismus zuwandte, und währte bis in die Zeit kurz vor Gauß' Tod, der am 23. Februar 1855 eintrat. In dieser kritischen, umfangreich kommentierten Edition werden die Briefe als Quelle für weitere Forschungsarbeiten zugänglich gemacht. Ihr Hauptthema ist die Erforschung des Erdmagnetismus, eines Gebietes der sich damals im Aufbau befindenden neuen Disziplin Geophysik. Hansteens Beitrag hierzu war vor allem eine bedeutende Datensammlung und ein monumentales Kartenwerk und Gauß gelang es, diesem Phänomen eine fundamentale und epochemachende Theorie zugrunde zu legen.

The unfolding crisis in Ukraine has brought the world to the brink of a new Cold War. As Russia and Ukraine tussle for Crimea and the eastern regions, relations between Putin and the West have reached an all-time low. How did we get here ? the author here unpicks the context of conflicted Ukrainian identity and of Russo-Ukrainian relations and traces the path to the recent disturbances through the events which have forced Ukraine, a country internally divided between East and West, to choose between closer union with Europe or its historic ties with Russia. In providing the first full account of the ongoing crisis, the author analyses the origins and significance of the Euromaidan Protests, examines the controversial Russian military intervention and annexation of Crimea, reveals the extent of the catastrophe of the MH17 disaster and looks at possible ways forward following the October 2014 parliamentary elections. In doing so, he explains the origins, developments and global significance of the internal and external battle for Ukraine.

Russian Silver Age writers were full participants in European literary debates and movements. Today some of these poets, such as Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky, Pasternak, and Tsvetaeva, are known around the world. This volume introduces Silver Age poetry with its cultural ferment, the manifestos and the philosophical, religious, and aesthetic debates, the occult references and sexual experimentation, and the emergence of women, Jews, gay and lesbian poets, and peasants as part of a brilliant and varied poetic environment. After a thorough introduction, the volume offers brief biographies of the poets and selections of their work in translation-many of them translated especially for this volume-as well as critical and fictional texts (some by the poets themselves) that help establish the context and outline the lively discourse of the era and its indelible moral and artistic aftermath.
