        2021

        Faride

        by Irene Rozdobudko

        The beginning of the novel takes place in the 20s of the last century in the Crimea. Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians and Jews live peacefully in the village. We see a company of children of different ethnic backgrounds. Before World War II, these children graduated and were preparing for adult life. Young Crimean Tatar woman Faride works in a kindergarten. Crimea is occupied by the Nazis. They gather all the Jews to shoot them outside the village. Faride taught Jewish children from her kindergarten to say that they were Tatars, and gave them new Crimean Tatar names. The Nazis tortured her, but the children were saved. 50 years later she was awarded the title of the Righteous Among the Nations. In 1944, Crimea was liberated from the Nazis by the Soviet army. Stalin accused the Crimean Tatars of collaborating with the Nazis and ordered their expulsion from the Crimea, even those who had fought in the Soviet army. One night they are all driven from their homes and taken for months in wagons, designed to transport cattle, to camps in Siberia. Half of them died on the way from starvation and disease. Faride manages to save her young son, leaving him in the village with neighbors, but she finds herself in a Stalinist concentration camp, where she works on cutting trees. After Stalin's death, Crimean Tatars were still not allowed to return home to Crimea; they were relocated to Uzbekistan, where they lived under police surveillance until 1989, when the Soviet Union began to disintegrate. Faride returns, but her son did not come to meet her, and strangers live in her house. Faride returns forgotten, tortured by both the Nazis and the Soviet regime. The novel is based on real events, it shows the life story of one woman in parallel with the tragic history of the entire Crimean Tatar nation.

        Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation

        Passengers, pilots, publicity

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie

        The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature. ;

        MAMMOTH AND OTHER ANCIENT ANIMALS OF SIBERIA

        by Albert Protopopov et al

        Asian Northeast has been excavating over 75% of all mammoth bones globally. There is a research centre focused on these ancient animals here.

This book presents unique contents related to sensational findings of mammoth’s, cave lion’s, woolly rhino’s and other ancient animals’ bones excavated in the northern Siberia. Text bodies go along with illustrations visualizing the animals’ images, as well as with real photos of paleontological findings. The book would be a real catch for those who take interest in the history of the Earth and its ancient inhabitants.

        by Carolina Schutti

        This novel by Carolina Schutti broaches different concepts of freedom and identity. Two separate plot lines outline the fate of two women.

At the same time, however, her perceptions remain crystal clear. Now she is expected to learn to manage her temper at an asylum. While Mark, the only person she is attached to there, is about to be discharged, she is repeatedly thinking about her own departure.Ina, the second protagonist, has already departed – to Siberia, where she would like to run a roadside inn at an ice road. However, she finds herself facing a tough adventure with obscure Boris and only notices too late that she is caught in a trap. The story gets more thrilling with every chapter. In Schutti’s poetic and yet powerful style, both women’s lives come together.

        by Juhani Püttsepp, Gundega Muzikante

        White Raven 2021Every time Keete looks at pictures from her childhood where she’s holding her teddy bear Pätsu in her lap, she wonders what life would have been like without war. Her parents would certainly have been able to keep working as teachers without living in terror of the communists deporting them to Siberia. The whole family could have spent nights without having to hurry to the bomb shelter or see their precious hometown in ruins. In peacetime, she could have kept living on the second floor of their cherry-red home instead of setting off on a harrowing journey across the Baltic Sea to Sweden. Years and years later, Keete thinks about how lucky today’s kids are to grow up without war. And she still cradles Pätsu in her arms – a teddy bear who helped her get through life’s perils.

        A Nurse's Story

        Medical Missionary in Korea and Siberia, 1915-1920

        by Delia Battles Lewis

        ​Delia Battles left her small town in Ohio to train as a nurse in New York City and then went on an adventure of a lifetime.

She traveled on the Trans-Siberian railroad, encountered fleeing refugees in Harbin, and then worked in a typhus hospital and helped establish a Red Cross hospital in Omsk. At the end of the war, she returned to Korea to work in a hospital in Seoul, just in time to witness the first stirrings of the Korean Independence movement.

        Sinking Islands

        by Cai Emmons

        Sinking Islands continues the story of Bronwyn Artair, a scientist who possesses the power to influence the natural forces of the Earth. After several successful interventions, including one in Siberia, she has gone into hiding, worried about unintended consequences of her actions, as well as about the ethics of operating solo. But circumstances call her to action again, and an idea takes shape: What if she could impart her skill to other people? Gathering a few kindred souls from climate-troubled places around the world—Felipe from São Paulo, where drought conditions are creating strains on day-to-day life; Analu and his daughter Penina from a sinking island in the South Pacific; and Patty from the tornado-ridden plains of Kansas—she takes them to the wilds of Northern New Hampshire where she tries to teach them her skill. The novel, realistic but for the single fantastical element, explores how we might become more attuned to the Earth and act more collaboratively to solve the enormity of our climate problem.

        In Siberia's Prisons

        by Yoann Barbereau

        Midnight Express in Siberia. A gripping contemporary story of escape. “The scene unfolds not far from Lake Baikal, where I live and love and am lucky enough to be loved, in Irkutsk, the capital of eastern Siberia. It’s morning, men in balaclavas appear out of nowhere. My daughter screams. She’s five years old. I’m arrested right in front of her, then beaten – expertly – and interrogated. Worst of all I’m branded with that ignominious word I struggle to commit to paper: paedophile. These men hidden behind balaclavas and shadows want my skin. They have set in motion an implacable and brutish process of destruction that has a name, a name I know, invented by the KGB: Kompromat.” Inside Siberia’s prisons, I try to understand. In the psychiatric hospital where I’m later interned, I try to understand. I’m guaranteed fifteen years of a gruelling camp. The story of my escapes can begin.

        Reconstructing Russia

        The Political Economy of American Assistance to Revolutionary Russia, 1917–1922

        by Leo C. Bacino

        Reconstructing Russia focuses on the Wilson administration’s efforts to find some way to provide economic support to Russian Siberia as a counterpoint to German economic influence. The connection between the Wilson administration’s efforts to provide economic assistance in Siberia and the Marshall Plan becomes even more significant at the close of the twentieth century as contemporary debates are waged over the issue of economic assistance to the former Soviet Union. Bacino places Wilson’s Russian policy in a new light and examines it from a government-wide perspective. He analyzes several significant issues and gives a fresh look at one of the most confusing episodes in Wilsonian foreign policy.

        Matuta

        by Nathalie Tuleff, Jean Lucas, Laure Guillebon

        A story by Nathalie Tuleff set to music by Jean Lucas and illustrated by Laure Guillebon.   To the sound of accordion, jew’s harp, conchs, trombone, nose whistle or bombo by Jean Lucas, Nathalie Tuleff tells and sings a fascinating journey from the Siberian plains to Africa. The initiatory trip undertaken by Matuta in the heart of a wild nature, off the beaten track, is also a story of contemplation, sadness and joy, friendship and solidarity. With this ode to the boundless curiosity, to the meeting with others and the world, the two artists, who have the habit of performing together on stage, sign their first collaboration with Trois Petits Points and their first audio book.    Little Matuta is numbed by the terrible history of her tribe. Everything seems grey to her and she can no longer get up in the morning. One day, the old Maschenka comes to take her out of her yurt and to transmit her the taste of discovery.     https://soundcloud.com/trois-petits-points/extrait-de-matuta

        Ways of the Ancestors

        From Manchuria to Germany, 1928-68

        by Cornelia Feye

        The project is based on the diary of the author's grandparents, which chronicles forty years of tumultuous personal and political history.  She only found the diary two years ago in her brother’s basement in Berlin.  It begins in Manchuria where Cornelia Feye's grandparents met in 1928, followed by their escape after the Mukden Incident in 1931 and the Japanese occupation, their dramatic journey on the Transsibirian railroad from Harbin to Moscow and Berlin, the years of unemployment during the Weimar Republic, the rise of the National Socialists, and WWII, her grandfather’s four years as POW in Siberia and finally the reconstruction and economic prosperity in post-war Germany. The diary movingly tells the great love story between two very different people – her grandfather Kornelius, a Swabian former’s son, and grandmother Frida, a twelve-year-older cultured Swiss milliner, that fate brought together for unknown reasons in Mukden.  Beside the trans-generational and historical components of this project, it also touches on deeper philosophical themes such as destiny versus free will, and the role of faith in surviving insurmountable obstacles. It offers opportunities for deep-dive research into the Japanese Occupation of Manchuria, the History of the Trans Siberian Railroad in Stalinist Russia, The Black Madonna of Einsiedeln as Archetype, and Russian POW Camps in Siberia, which should be of general interest (see bibliography). Quotes from the diary are used as points of departure and to preserve the eloquent and poetic language. Select incidents will be set in-scene as historical fiction to communicate the emotional impact of this dramatic and traumatic story.

This is the first English-language guide dedicated to Lake Baikal and its surroundings. It provides full coverage of activities, wildlife, culture and religion, as well as practical information on travelling in this diverse corner of Siberia._x000D_

        Stories from Our Future

        by Alberto Giuliani

        One day, a soothsayer on the shore of Lake Baikal, Siberia, told Alberto Giuliani that he would die a violent death sometime between 2020 and 2021. He never fully believed the prophecy, until it was confirmed by a shaman in Vrindavan, India. The shaman told him to always wear a yellow sapphire on his right index finger. The stone would help him choose between life and death, when the fateful day would come. The two prophecies have left Alberto with a hunger to know what the future of humanity will look like – because he may not be here to witness it firsthand. And so, he started travelling, in search for an answer.
