Manuscript / Paper Collectible First Edition
Original wrappers. Dimensions: 21 × 15 cm. 15 pages. Text in Russian. Supplement to the "Ekho" magazine, No. 22. Translation from the American magazine "Fortune." Chipped along the edges. This book was published by the Russian refugees and printed in a very small run to be distributed in post-war Germany's Displaced Persons (DP) camps. Due to difficult circumstances in those camps, including a lack of resources and military censorship, such publications are a testament to the resilience and determination of the displaced persons community during this challenging time in history.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Children's poem about a rich tourist visiting the Soviet Union. He s impressed with all the buildings, ships, theatres, sports grounds, and factories that carry the name Komsomol. So, he figures, these must all belong to a rich guy like himself, Mr. Komsomol! Alas (for him), there's no Mr. Komsomol. Instead, the Komsomol was, of course, the Young Communist League. The author, Samuil Marshak (1887-1964), was one of the biggest names in Soviet children s poetry. The talented graphic artist Adrian Ermolaev (1900-1977) contributed the rich illustrations here. Detgiz, the State Publishing House of Children s Literature, issued this work; Marshak was the first chief editor of Detgiz. Text entirely in Russian. While ostensibly a poem for children, there's undoubtedly a message here for adults, too: Just look at everything the Komsomol and the Party do for Soviet children and society. And see how foreigners are so impressed by Soviet achievements (even if they're confused about "Mr. Komsomol.") The poem really drives home the point that the collective (in this case, the Komsomol) is more important than the individual. PHYSICAL DETAILS: Quarto (10 3/8 x 7 3/4 inches; 264 x 198 mm), [16] pages, in stapled, illustrated wrappers (soft cover). CONDITION: Soiling to wrappers, evidence of water staining to wrappers and to a number of pages, general handling wear. Good or better. This work is scarce; OCLC shows a handful of institutional holdings. None in commerce.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octabo 21.5x18 cm., illustrated wrappers, (10) pp. Drawings by L. Iudin. A wonderful collaboration between OBERIU pioneer and absurdist Aleksandr Vvedenskii and Lev Iudin in a most original, brilliant work for children. Lev Aleksandrovich Iudin (1903-1941) was a Vitebsk native who joined UNOVIS with Malevich and later studied at VKHUTEMAS, then worked in the Theoretical Dept of GINKhUK (State Institute of Art Culture), also with Malevich. Overlooked by historians, Iudin was an important artist contributing to the avant-garde art world of the early Soviet era. Vvedenskii (1904-1941) was a key figure, along with Daniil Kharms, in forming the most extreme and last avant-garde movement in Soviet Russia known as OBERIU. Outside of their writings for children s books all of their work was suppressed, leaving this to be their only outlet to work with relative safety, and then only for a time. Vvedenskii allegedly couldn t stand children, but nevertheless produced some of the best children s books in Russian literature. Worldcat locates three holdings in North America (Harvard, Columbia, Univ Chicago). This copy very good. An important document. This copy trimmed 1x2 cm. affecting some images, and priced accordingly.

First Edition
Softcover. Condition: vg. First edition. Octavo. 8pp, incl. covers. Original covers with Art Nouveau illustration framing black lettering, protected by modern mylar. Scarce anti-Semitic pamphlet related to the 1911 murder of the 13-year-old Ukrainian boy Andrei Yushchinsky. No records of institutional holdings found. The pretrial investigation of the case accusing Menahem Mendel Beilis (Beilis Affair) of the ritual murder was conducted by the foremost investigator of the Kiev Police Department Nikolay Krasovsky. Beilis, a Jewish brick-factory worker, was accused of the murder based on the testimony of a lamplighter who claimed he had witnessed Beilis kidnapping of Yushchinsky. Under horrific conditions Beilis spent more than two years in prison awaiting his trial which took place from September 25th through October 28, 1913. The Russian right-wing press and politicians started a campaign throughout Russia against Jewish communities with accusations of the ritual murder. Despite the investigation by the local police which clearly linked the murder to a criminal gang killing Yushchinsky because he most likely had overheard conversations revealing information relating to crimes the gang committed, the investigators in charge were dismissed. Evidence and many other aspects of the trial were manipulated by government officials at the highest level. Archival documents prove that the jury was rigged and monitored, and witnesses were bribed or threatened. The trial sparked international criticism both from Jewish and non-Jewish intellectuals, among them Maxim Gorky, Vladimir Korolenko, Alexander Blok and Alexander Kurpin. Yushchinsky was abducted on a Saturday morning while Beilis was at work. Ironically, the alibi was the result of Beilis' unusual habit of working on the Jewish Sabbath and eventually the lamplighter confessed that he had been confused by the secret police. The prosecution's case was further undermined when it became clear that the body of the boy showed 14 wounds rather than 13, which was deemed to be in accordance with the "Jewish Ritual," a fact the prosecution had spent a great deal of effort to establish. However, after several hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Beilis. After his acquittal Beilis left Kiev for Palestine and later settled in the United States. There he published his memoir under the title "The Story of My Sufferings" in Yiddish, 1925, and a year later in English. Beilis story became the basis for Bernard Malamud's novel "The Fixer," which won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Text in Polish. Very light wear along edges of pamphlet. Contemporary price stamp on cover, and year penciled to bottom. Pamphlet in overall very good condition.
