A landmark in Russian literature hailed as “one of the four great masterpieces of twentieth-century prose” by Vladimir Nabokov, author of Lolita. In this incomparable novel of the seething revolutionary Russia of 1905, Andrey Biely plays ingeniously on the great themes of Russian history and literature as he tells the mesmerizing tale of Apollon Apollonovich Ableukhov, a high-ranking Tsarist official, and his dilettante son, Nikolai, an aspiring terrorist, whose first assignment is to assassinate his father. “There is nothing like a ticking time bomb to supply fictional suspense, and perhaps no other writer has ever used the device more successfully than Andrey Biely in St. Petersburg . . . Biely is a crafty storyteller who can keep a reader flipping the pages while whipping up an intellectual storm.” —Time

Petersburg

By: Andrey Bely

Taking place over a short, turbulent period in 1905, Petersburg is a colourful evocation of Russia's capital - a kaleidoscope of images and impressions, an eastern window on the west, a symbol of the ambiguities and paradoxes of the Russian character. History, culture and politics are blended and juxtaposed; weather reports, current news, fashions and psychology jostle together with people from Petersburg society in an exhilarating search for the identity of a city and, ultimately, Russia itself.

The Silver Dove

By: Andrey Bely

Andrey Biely completed The Silver Dove in 1909, four years after the shattering days of the Russian revolution of 1905. Together with St. Petersburg, this book, into which he poured his effort to give Russian literature a new vocabulary, earned him a reputation of being a Russian James Joyce. In his preface, Harrison Salisbury calls The Silver Dove "a psychic vision of Russia's future," for in its pages Biely created a prophetic allegory of the tragedy which was waiting in the wings for Russia. The Silver Dove is the story of a writer's involvement with a peasant woman who stands under the strange influence of Kudeyarov, a local carpenter and head of a secret sect "The Doves." After many bizarre occurrences, the writer breaks with the carpenter's magical influence and the carpenter arranges for the writer to be murdered. As an allegory, each of its characters stands for one of the major forces which were to shape the fate of Russia in the coming sixty years. The novel has a rich, complex texture, a rhythmical style and many interwoven themes (East vs. West) which add to its contemporary interest. There are superb lyrical descriptions of the countryside as well as of magical and psychic phenomena, but also realistic and ironic comments on characters drawn from various strata of society. None of Biely's prose or novels has been republished in the Soviet Union since 1934.

The Russian Catastrophe and Chances to Overcome It

By: Andrey Zubov

Andrej Zubov byl v roce 2022 nucen opustit svoji rodnou zemi a přijal pozvání rektora Masarykovy univerzity, aby přednášel v Brně. Soubor jeho přednášek česky souhrnně nazvaný „Ruská katastrofa a možnosti, jak ji překonat“ nyní vychází knižně. Autor skrze studium ruských dějin hledá odpovědi na dvě úzce související otázky: Proč bylo Rusko od bolševického převratu po celé dvacáté století neustálým zdrojem agrese? a Existuje nějaká naděje, že se Rusko radikálně promění, přestane být agresorem a stane se mírumilovným státem, demokratickou zemí, jako země EU a NATO? Profesor Zubov věří, že jeho texty přispějí k lepšímu pochopení tragického osudu jeho lidu v minulých i současných staletích, procesů, které vedly k válce, a tím i k budování trvalejšího míru po jejím skončení.
