Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Large quarto -- 240 X 330 mm. "First published in 1987 by Aurora Art Publishers, Leningrad / This edition published in 1990 by Portland House. . . ." Small red dot to top page edges; likely a remainder mark. Director General Piotrovsky mentions parts of t…he collection being brought back from safe storage in the Urals after the Russians broke the German siege of Leningrad in 1944, though curiously there's no mention of any loot being brought EAST from Germany in 1945. (Schliemann's gold from Troy went to the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, of course.) Irina Novosselskaya does acknowledge that "A significant enlargement of the Hermitage's stocks took place after the October Revolution of 1917 with the transfer to the museum of nationalized" (stolen) "collections of paintings, graphics, and applied arts" from various other palaces and museums, including "the Stieglitz School of Art and Industrial Design." Examples shown here of the Leningrad/St. Petersburg museum's holdings of paintings by Da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Frans Hals, Rubens, Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, etc., plus prehistoric archaeological finds, 17th and 18th Century coins and medals, and so on. 392 pp., reduced from $30.

RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN OF 1914The Beginning of the War and Operations in East Prussia

Condition: New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1933). SB. xxi+410pp. 11 maps & diagrams (in colour)Published Price £28 The opening of the Great War on the Eastern Front is a classic case of total victory being hauled from impending defeat. At the outbreak of war, two huge Russian armies, the First, commanded by General Re…nnenkampf, and the Second by General Samsov, invaded the German heartland of East Prussia after mobilising much more rapidly than had been anticipated. They inflicted a signal defeat on the German Eighth Army of General von Prittwitz at Gumbinnen. In panic, Prittwitz proposed to abandon East Prussia, but he was sacked and replaced by the legendary duo of Generals, Hindenburg and Ludendorff. In addition, the Germans withdrew three whole Corps from their unfolding attack on France - thereby probably saving Paris - to meet the Russian threat. By the time they arrived in Prussia, a battle plan had been drawn up by General Hoffmann which, when implemented led to the total defeat of Samonsov at Tannenberg and the Generalâs own suicide; and to the routing of Rennenkampf at the Masurian Lakes. Germany was temporarily saved, but the Russians suffered a demoralisation from which they never recovered. In this masterly and detailed account, former Russian general turned military historian Nicholas Golovine blames the disaster on poor Russian co-ordination; the impossibility of maintaining supplies to such vast numbers stretched over such an immense area, plus the initiative wrested by the German High Command. Long unavailable, this is a classic account of one of the great turning points of world history.

Paperback. Condition: New. The War in Afghanistan (1979-1989) has been called ""the Soviet Union's Vietnam War,"" a conflict that pitted Soviet regulars against a relentless, elusive, and ultimately unbeatable Afghan guerrilla force (the mujahideen). The hit-and-run bloodletting across the war's decade tallied more than 25,000 d…ead Soviet soldiers plus a great many more casualties and further demoralized a USSR on the verge of disintegration.In The Soviet-Afghan War the Russian general staff takes a close critical look at the Soviet military's disappointing performance in that war in an effort to better understand what happened and why and what lessons should be taken from it. Lester Grau and Michael Gress's expert English translation of the general staff's study offers the very first publication in any language of this important and illuminating work.Surprisingly, this was a study the general staff never intended to write, initially viewing the war in Afghanistan as a dismal aberration in Russian military history. The history of the 1990s has, of course, completely demolished that belief, as evidenced by the Russian Army's subsequent engagements with guerrilla forces in Chechnya, Azerbaijan, Tadjikistan, Turkmenistan, and elsewhere. As a result, Russian officers decided to take a much closer look at the Red Army's experiences in the Afghan War.Their study presents the Russian view of how the war started, how it progressed, and how it ended; shows how a modern mechanized army organized and conducted a counter-guerrilla war; chronicles the major battles and operations; and provides valuable insights into Soviet tactics, strategy, doctrine, and organization across a wide array of military branches. The editors' incisive preface and commentary help contextualize the Russian view and alert the reader to blind spots in the general staff's thinking about the war.This one-of-a-kind document provides a powerful case study on how yet another modern mechanized army imprudently relied upon the false promise of technology to defeat a determined guerrilla foe. Along the way, it vividly reveals the increasing disillusionment of Soviet soldiers, how that disillusion seeped back into Soviet society, and how it contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Red Army had fought their war to a military draw but that was not enough to stave off political defeat at home. The Soviet-Afghan War helps clarify how such a surprising demise could have materialized in the backyard of the Cold War's other great superpower.

Per Wikipedia, Pyotr Nikolayevich Krasnov (Russian: Пётр Николаевич Краснов; 1869 - 1947), Also Known As Peter Krasnov, Was A Russian Military Leader, Writer And Later Nazi Collaborator. Krasnov Was Son To Lieutenant-General Nikolay Krasnov And Grandson To General Ivan Krasnov. In April-May 1902 A Series Of Articles Were Published In Russkii Invalid, The Newspaper Of The Imperial Russian Army, Containing P. N. Krasnov's Impressions Of His Trip To Mongolia, China And Japan As The East Asia Correspondent Of Russkii Invalid. In His Article "Fourteen Days In Japan", Krasnov Painted The Imperial Japanese Army In A Negative Light. His Analyzed Was Widely Criticized As Motonic But Was Read And Appreciated By The Czar. Krasnov Served As A Lieutenant General In The Imperial Russian Army During World War I And Later Led Anti-Bolshevik Forces During The Russian Civil War, Where He Served As The Ataman Of The Don Republic. Approximately 25,000 To 40,000 People Were Executed By Krasnov's White Cossacks, Which Lasted Until The Red Army Conquered The Region Following Their Victory At Tsaritsyn. After The Civil War, He Lived In Exile. During World War Ii, Krasnov Collaborated With The Germans Who Mobilized Cossack Forces To Fight Against The Soviet Union In Operation Barbarossa. Following The End Of The War, Krasnov Was Repatriated And Executed By The Soviet Authorities. His Son, Semyon Krasnov, Was A Russian White Army Soldier Who, After The Empire's Defeat In The Russian Civil War, Fled To Yugoslavia And Then To France, Arriving In Nazi Germany In 1942. After The Defeat Of Germany In World War Ii, He Was Extradited Back To The Soviet Union Along With His Father, Pyotr Krasnov. There, Both Men Were Put On Trial And Executed. As A Result Of This, Young Miguel Krasnov And His Mother, Dina Marchenko, Fled To Chile. His Grnadson Miguel Krassnoff Martchenko (Born Mikhail Semyonovich Krasnov, Russian: Михаил Семёнович Краснов; Born 1946) Is A Chilean Military Official Involved In Human Rights Violations During The Dictatorship Of General Augusto Pinochet. He Held Several High-Ranking Positions In The Pinochet Regime, Including In The Chilean Intelligence Agency, Dina. As Such, He Was Responsible For The Interrogation, Torture, And Disappearance Of Political Prisoners At The Detention Center, Villa Grimaldi. In 2006, Miguel Krassnoff Was Sentenced To 144 Years Imprisonment For Over 20 Counts Of Crimes Against Humanity. In 2016, He Was Also Sentenced To 10 Years Of Imprisonment For The 1974 Abduction Of José Ramírez Rosales. Signed by S. Bartley Cannell.

With embossed tax stamp and circular stamp in black ink dating the document to London, 24 September 1849. The agreement, on the first two pages, is 'Between George Hibbe…rt of Albany Piccadilly in the County of Middlesex Esquire of the one part and George Krehmer of Albanyaforesaid Esquire of the other part.' It is signed 'George Hibbert', with 'Witness Charles Sprigges'. The whole of the third page carries the 'Inventory and Valuation of sundry Furniture and Effects the Property of George Hibbert Esq. at Letter L. No 4 Albany as sold to George Krehmer Esq.', divided into 'Anti [sic] Room', 'Best Room', 'Dining Room &c' and 'Drawing Room' and signed at foot by Sprigges.

Edward George Hibbert, whose splendid library was sold in 1902, also had his London address at L4 Albany, and was presumably the younger Hibbert's son.
