Khazaria in the Ninth and Tenth Centuries

By: Boris Zhivkov

In Khazaria in the Ninth and the Tenth Centuries Boris Zhivkov offers a new view on Khazaria by scrutinizing the different visions offered by recent scholarship. The paucity of written sources has made it necessary to turn to additional information about the steppe states in this period, and to analyze exceptional cases not directly related to the Khazars. In re-examining the Khazars, he thus uses not only the known documentary sources and archaeological finds but also what we know from history of religions (comparative mythology), history of art, structural anthropology and folklore studies. In this way the book draws together a synthesis of conclusions, information and theory.

The KGB's Poison Factory

By: Boris Volodarsky

In late November 2006 the world was shaken by the ruthless assassination in London of Alexander Litvinenko, a former Lt Col of the Russian security service (FSB). The murder was the most notorious crime committed by the Russian intelligence on foreign soil in over three decades. The author, Boris Volodarsky, who was consulted by the Metropolitan Police during the investigation and remains in close contact with Litvinenkos widow, is a former Russian military intelligence officer and an international expert in special operations. His narrative reveals that since 1917 beginning with Lenin and his Cheka the Russian security services have regularly carried out bespoke poisoning operations all over the world to eliminate the enemies of the Kremlin. The author proves that the Litvinenkos poisoning is just one episode in the chain of murders that continues until the present day. Some of these assassinations or attempted assassinations are already known, others are revealed here for the first time. Uniquely Volodarsky has had a personal involvement in almost every each of the 20 cases, from the radioactive thallium poisoning of the Soviet defector Nikolai Khokhlov in Frankfurt in September 1957 to the ricin umbrella murder of the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov in London in 1978. "Here, for the fan of murder thrillers and modern history alike, is a cracking good read. In brilliant light we see what lay for nearly a century behind the London polonium poisoning of British citizen Alexander Litvinenko, former Russian. It was just one recent hit by the world's most prolific serial killer -- the Russian state. With original research guided by his insider's eye and scholarly care, Boris Volodarsky recounts scores of murders. Assassination emerges as state policy, as institutionalized bureacracy, as day-to-day routine, as laboratory science, as a branch of medicine researching ways not to stave off death but to deliver it in apparently innocent or accidental forms, and as engineering technology, devising ever-new devices to meet each new requirement, from umbrella tips and cigarette cases and rolled-up newspapers -- to Litvinenko's teacup." Tennent H. Bagley, former CIA chief of Soviet Bloc counterintelligence.

Original Yoga - Superhumans

Self Help for Personal Development and Spirituality in the New Millennium

By: Boris Deen

For anyone in need of self-help with physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual suffering, the Original Yoga - Superhumans book is here to assist. These challenges can manifest in various ways, such as diseases, emotional distress, psychological complexes, and soul-ignorance. Wherever you are, it is now easier than ever to address and ease that suffering. By following the teachings of the superhumans, original yoga will elevate you to the same spiritual heights as its originators, and its legacy will endure through the ages. Inside, you will discover about the authorities on yoga, the four distinct types of gurus prevalent today, and the crucial element that is missing. Is reincarnation recognised in the original Christian teachings? What really happened to Donald Trump and the 2020 USA elections? Sadly, astrology is frequently misrepresented by the media. The ancient, original astrology stands out for its remarkable precision and stark contrasts to the modern Western astrological practices. Uncover the facts in this comprehensive yoga book. In order to experience effective self-help, rapid personal development, and spiritual growth, it is essential to gain knowledge and tap into the energy power outlined in the original yoga system. You will find the former within the pages of this book, but the latter is entirely in your hands. On the 25th of November 2021, the first edition of this book was published, featuring unusual words on its back cover: “There is an eternal connection between our inner core and the electromagnetic energies of the planets and constellations. Today is scientifically proven that the PH of water worldwide significantly changes on the new moon day, and our bodies are about 60 per cent water. That is the tip of the iceberg. Still in doubt? This book will be published in November 2021 – watch the unfavourable chain of events worldwide because of the planetary energies between December 2021 and the end of April 2022. Some of the truths in this book are known, but others will be discovered in the future.” TIMELINE: December 2021 – armed clashes between Russia and Ukraine along the border, an unexpected event, the appearance of Omicron, its lightning spread worldwide, and a deepening energy crisis. January 2022 came with the conflict in Kazakhstan, a completely unexpected event, the domination of Omicron worldwide, and a deepening of the Ukrainian crisis. On February 13, 2022, the USA closed its embassy in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and conquered much of the Donbas region, shaking the world politically and economically. On May 18, 2022, the USA reopens its embassy in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. On May 19, 2022, a personal telephone connection was established between the commanders-in-chief of the Russian and US armed forces, Generals Valery Gerasimov and Mark Milley, after which Russia’s territorial gains in Ukraine became insignificant, and the invasion became a hybrid war. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Boris Deen has been following the original yoga system for 36 years with spectacular results, as shown on the covers and inside, without any surgical intervention. In this book, he shares his findings. NOT JUST FOR YOGIS: Boris audience is made up of people who had never thought of yoga as a way to self-help, personal development and spirituality. This training is for any human being of any religion with a tiny step; to get started. Even the longest journey begins with a small step—the journey of your life. This book can be your guide to an extraordinary life, incredible personal growth and self-improvement – now more than ever.

Media Law in Bulgaria

By: Boris E. Kolev,Tzvetelina Petkova

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this analysis of media law in Bulgaria surveys the massively altered and enlarged legal landscape traditionally encompassed in laws pertaining to freedom of expression and regulation of communications. Everywhere, a shift from mass media to mass self-communication has put enormous pressure on traditional law models. An introduction describing the main actors and salient aspects of media markets is followed by in-depth analyses of print media, radio and television broadcasting, the Internet, commercial communications, political advertising, concentration in media markets, and media regulation. Among the topics that arise for discussion are privacy, cultural policy, protection of minors, competition policy, access to digital gateways, protection of journalists’ sources, standardization and interoperability, and liability of intermediaries. Relevant case law is considered throughout, as are various ethical codes. A clear, comprehensive overview of media legislation, case law, and doctrine, presented from the practitioner’s point of view, this book is a valuable time-saving resource for all concerned with media and communication freedom. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Bulgaria will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative media law.

The Soviet Union and the June 1967 Six Day War

By: Yaacov Ro'i,Boris Morozov

Why did the Soviet Union spark war in 1967 between Israel and the Arab states by falsely informing Syria and Egypt that Israel was massing troops on the Syrian border? Based on newly available archival sources, The Soviet Union and the June 1967 Six Day War answers this controversial question more fully than ever before. Directly opposing the thesis of the recently published Foxbats over Dimona by Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez, the contributors to this volume argue that Moscow had absolutely no intention of starting a war. The Soviet Union's reason for involvement in the region had more to do with enhancing its own status as a Cold War power than any desire for particular outcomes for Syria and Egypt. In addition to assessing Soviet involvement in the June 1967 Arab-Israeli Six Day War, this book covers the USSR's relations with Syria and Egypt, Soviet aims, U.S. and Israeli perceptions of Soviet involvement, Soviet intervention in the Egyptian-Israeli War of Attrition (1969-70), and the impact of the conflicts on Soviet-Jewish attitudes. This book as a whole demonstrates how the Soviet Union's actions gave little consideration to the long- or mid-term consequences of their policy, and how firing the first shot compelled them to react to events.

Assassins

The KGB's Poison Factory 10 Years On

By: Boris Volodarsky

A look at the events surrounding the 2006 poisoning of a former Russian security officer in Great Britain. In November, 1998, Alexander Litvinenko, a former lieutenant colonel of the Russian security service or FSB, along with several former colleagues, publicly stated that their superiors had instigated an assassination attempt on a Russian tycoon and oligarch. Following his subsequent arrest and failed trials, Litvinenko fled to London where, having been granted asylum, he worked as a journalist and writer, as well as acting as a consultant for the British intelligence services. Eight years later, Litvinenko’s past caught up with him when he was assassinated in London. On November 1, 2006, Litvinenko was suddenly taken ill and hospitalized. He passed away twenty-two days later. Significant amounts of a rare, highly toxic element were subsequently found in his body. Before his death, Litvinenko had said, “You may succeed in silencing one man, but the howl of protest from around the world, Mr. Putin, will reverberate in your ears for the rest of your life.” Author Boris Volodarsky, who was consulted by the Metropolitan Police during the investigation and remains in close contact with Litvinenko’s widow, details the events surrounding Litvinenko’s murder. Volodarsky updates the story, referring to the findings of the official British inquiry, on the release of which Prime Minister David Cameron condemned Putin for presiding over “state sponsored murder.” The author proves that the Litvinenko’s poisoning is just one of many. Some of these assassinations or attempted assassinations are already known; others are revealed by him for the first time.

The Geography of Survival

Ecology in the Post-Soviet Era

By: Boris Komarov

Boris Komarov is the name under which Ze'ev Wolfson published his 1979 The Destruction of Nature in the Soviet Union in the west after he could not get it published in Moscow. He based his criticisms on his observations as an employee of the Soviet Department of Nature Preserves. Here he focuses on how aridization, the loss of natural soil, destruction of fresh water resources, and other ecological problems move across the landscape without regard to national boundaries. His examples are the migrating environmental degradations spawned by oil and gas production in Siberia and cotton production in the Aral basin. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Sakharov And Power: On The Other Side Of The Window

By: Boris Altshuler

This book is a testimony to the amazing life of Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989) — the great scientist and great man, the creator of the most terrible weapon in the history of mankind and at the same time the Nobel Peace Prize Winner. Sakharov's life is, one might say, an exciting detective story, a chain of incredible events, not accidental however, but dictated by the genius and fortitude of the protagonist. The theme of this book acquired new striking meanings after the 'Sakharov documents' of the KGB of the USSR and of the Politburo of the Soviet ruling Communist Party were declassified. 'I'm not on the top floor. I'm next to the top floor — on the other side of the window', Sakharov once joked, referring to the top floor of political power. This joke accurately reflects the uniqueness of his status, which has become his destiny.Andrei Sakharov is a giant among thought leaders who have shaped the fate of mankind. This book is an important commemoration of his 100th birthday to summarize his creative experience of 'producing miracles', which will help to find constructive solutions to the challenges of the 21st century. The peculiarity of this book is that the main storyteller is Sakharov himself: it collects the most significant quotes from his memoirs, alternate with vivid memories of people who knew him, offering documentaries and explanations.

The Disintegration of the Monolith

The Disintegration of the Monolith

By: Boris Kagarlitsky

In this book Boris Kagarlitsky offers a trenchant analysis of the break-up of the Soviet Union and the transformation of a section of the old nomenklatura into a new possessing and ruling elite. Kagarlitsky shows that Western commentators have been misled by the street theatre of events like the bungled coup of August 1991 into supposing that a fundamental break has been made with the confused politics and economics of the late Soviet period. He analyses the ill-considered and self-interested attempts made by the nomenklatura to privatize assets and inaugurate a free-market economy, finding an essential continuity between the plans of Gorbachev’s and Yeltsin’s advisers. He reveals, too, how the new Russian President has displayed a greater capacity to assert dictatorial powers than did the last General Secretary, a tendency which has brought him into repeated conflict with elected bodies. Boris Kagarlitsky is himself a Socialist member of the Moscow Soviet and one of the founders of Russia’s new Party of Labour. The Disintegration of the Monolith furnishes both a memorable indictment of the greed and irresponsibility of Russia’s new/old rulers and a fascinating account of the slow but unmistakeable awakening of forces of resistance as the peoples of Russia and the other states of the former Soviet Union confront the hyper-inflation, shortages, unemployment and general havoc wreaked by the free-market experiment. Kagarlitsky describes the gradual emergence of a new Russian trade unionism, but warns that popular discontent is also being exploited by nationalist demagogues, such as the leader of Russia’s new Liberal Party. For those seeking to understand what has changed in Russia—and what has remained the same—The Disintegration of the Monolith is required reading.

Changing Images of the Left in Bulgaria

An Old-and-New Divide?

By: Boris Popivanov

The violent protests that shook Bulgaria in recent years were fueled by a widespread belief that, after 25 years of transition, a new base for the political process is required. In this important new study, Popivanov provides a critical re-assessment of the role of the Bulgarian Socialist Party -- arguably, the single most important political entity in Bulgaria's post-communist history.Assessing its internal problems and the challenges it faces from a new and radical grassroots Left, Popivanov asks why and how Bulgaria's Socialist Party was the only one in the Eastern bloc to remain an important political organization, after the end of communism. This timely book skillfully analyzes the current societal and political situation in Bulgaria that threatens the Socialists and argues for a complete reformulation of the concept of the 'Bulgarian Left'.
