The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of classical and Marxian economic theories, including the arrangement of fundamental concepts such as surplus value, the division of labor, and the social relations between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Intended as a popular guide for the working class and radical intelligentsia, this translation by V. Tuchapskaya serves as a vital primary source for documenting the dissemination of socialist ideas in the provinces during the lead-up to the 1905 Revolution. It reflects the era's urgent need for accessible educational material that could decode the complexities of the global market for the common laborer.\u003cbr\u003eThe physical identity of this Rostov-on-Don imprint is defined by its compact \"small format\" and its origin at the legendary publishing house of N. E. Paramonov. \"Donskaya Rech\" was a pivotal hub for liberal and socialist literature, producing over 600 titles before its suppression by Tsarist authorities in 1907. The 59-page booklet documents the exact moment when Paramonov’s press began to pivot toward socio-political agitprop, often resulting in censorship, police raids, and the destruction of stock. Because many of these inexpensive brochures were confiscated or worn out through underground circulation, surviving copies from the 1903–1907 period are exceptionally scarce. For bibliophiles, historians of the labor movement, and collectors of revolutionary ephemera, this volume is a cornerstone acquisition, preserving a tactile connection to the intellectual spark of the First Russian Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963056259114,"sku":"EB-306289376302","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_a37d5720-65b1-48e6-823b-247e200a7641.jpg?v=1768160769"},{"product_id":"robespierre-revolutionary-1959-робеспьер-революционная-законность-и-правосудие","title":"Robespierre, M.

Published by the State Publishing House of Legal Literature (Gosyurizdat), the volume presents Robespierre not merely as the architect of the Terror, but as a sophisticated legal mind concerned with the rights of the citizen and the constitutional foundations of a republic. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Jacobin jurisprudence, including the arrangement of speeches on the abolition of the death penalty, the right to vote, and the philosophical necessity of virtue in a revolutionary government. By selecting works specifically focused on justice, the Soviet editors curated a version of Robespierre that resonated with contemporary discussions regarding the restoration of socialist law and civil rights.\u003cbr\u003eThe physical edition is notable for its high production quality and its artistic design by V. I. Belsky. In a slightly enlarged format with a durable hardcover, the book includes scholarly annotations and a critical introductory essay by V. A. Tumanov, which situates Robespierre's 18th-century radicalism within the framework of mid-20th-century political theory. Across its 276 pages, the volume serves as a bridge between the French Enlightenment and Soviet political thought, offering a primary source on the radical democrat who famously proclaimed that \"the goal of constitutional government is to preserve the Republic.\" With a limited print run of 6,000 copies, this 1959 edition remains a prized acquisition for historians of the French Revolution, scholars of legal history, and collectors of Soviet academic imprints from the Thaw period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963125989418,"sku":"EB-306350382380","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_8395443b-dfbe-47e7-9ee0-ff879a1d40eb.jpg?v=1768161536"},{"product_id":"sarmiento-civilization-and-barbarism-1988-сармьенто-цивилизация-и-варварство","title":"Sarmiento, Domingo Faustino.

First published in 1845 during his exile in Chile, Facundo is a unique hybrid of biography, sociology, and political polemic. Sarmiento uses the life of the provincial caudillo Juan Facundo Quiroga to illustrate the fundamental conflict of 19th-century Latin America: the struggle between European-oriented \"Civilization\" (urban, progressive, and liberal) and local \"Barbarism\" (the wild, lawless world of the gauchos and pastoral chieftains). The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Argentine pampa, including the arrangement of geographical descriptions that Sarmiento argues dictate the violent political character of the nation.\u003cbr\u003ePrepared for publication by the noted scholars Valery Zemskov and Natalia Poprykina, this edition features a rigorous academic apparatus, including extensive commentaries, an introductory article, and a detailed chronicle of Sarmiento's life.

The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the modern metropolis, including the arrangement of influential essays by leading German social thinkers of the era. The collection features Georg Simmel's seminal work \"The Metropolis and Mental Life\" (translated here as \"Big Cities and Spiritual Life\"), which explores the psychological impact of urban environments on the individual, as well as Karl Bücher’s historical analysis of urban growth.  Other critical contributions include Georg Mayr’s demographic studies of city populations, H. Wentig’s analysis of the economic primacy of large cities, and D. Schäfer’s exploration of their geopolitical and strategic importance. As a vital primary source, this volume documents the intellectual reception of European sociological theories in Imperial Russia during a period of rapid industrialization and social upheaval. Edited by the prominent Russian economist Ivan Ozerov, the book represents a pioneering attempt to systematically study the \"Big City\" as a distinct socio-economic phenomenon. Published in a small-format hardcover by the prestigious \"Prosveshcheniye\" partnership, this edition is a significant bibliographical rarity for urbanists, sociologists, historians of Saint Petersburg, and collectors of pre-revolutionary social science literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44126543904810,"sku":"BOOK-BIGCIT-KNJA","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7253.jpg?v=1771947489"},{"product_id":"ricardo-david-collected-works-sochineniya-in-five-volumes-only-volumes-i-and-ii-issued-1941-in-russian","title":"Ricardo, David.

Ricardo occupied a place of central importance in the Soviet canon of political-economic classics: Karl Marx engaged with his arguments at length throughout «Das Kapital» and the «Theories of Surplus Value», and Lenin referred repeatedly to his theory of differential rent in the analysis of Russian agrarian capitalism. The present edition was conceived by the State Publishing House of Political Literature (Госполитиздат) as the first Soviet «Sochineniya» of Ricardo in five volumes — a project that would have placed Volume I (The Principles, 1817) and the monetary writings collected in Volume II alongside parliamentary speeches, correspondence, and the polemical pamphlets of the bullion controversy. Both volumes appeared in 1941 with parallel English-Russian title pages and the imprints «The State Political Press» \/ «ОГИЗ Госполитиздат». The German invasion of June 1941 abruptly interrupted the project: volumes III–V were never published, leaving the «pyatitomnik» a permanently incomplete two-volume set. The translation, undertaken by a team of Soviet economists and Marxist theorists, remained the standard Russian Ricardo until the post-war Sraffa-based edition of the 1950s, and the wartime imprint is now uncommon — particularly as a clean, matched pair — and is sought both by historians of economic thought and by collectors of Soviet pre-war Marxist publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44292667473962,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_1835.jpg?v=1777316436"},{"product_id":"monuments-of-the-customary-law-of-albanians-of-the-ottoman-period-pamyatniki-obychnogo-prava-albantsev-osmanskogo-vremeni-compiled-by-yu-v-ivanova-1994-in-russian","title":"Monuments of the Customary Law of Albanians of the Ottoman Period (Pamyatniki obychnogo prava albantsev osmanskogo vremeni), compiled by Yu.

Ivanova's career at the N. N. Miklukho-Maklay Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology spanned more than four decades and produced foundational work on Albanian tribal society, the Balkan institution of hospitality, and the community structures of the Ottoman Balkans. The volume publishes Russian translations of four distinct manuscript recensions of the Kanun of Leke Dukagjini - the most celebrated monument of Albanian customary law, attributed in tradition to the fifteenth-century nobleman Leke Dukagjini, an ally of Skanderbeg. The Kanun, recorded systematically only in 1913 by the Franciscan friar Shtjefen Kostantin Gjecovi and published in Shkoder in 1933, governs honour, kinship obligation, blood feud, hospitality, marriage, and property under the concept of besa. Ivanova's edition also includes additional records of customary law from other regions of Northern Albania and draws on Ottoman archival materials demonstrating the interaction of tribal law with the legal infrastructure of the empire. The responsible editor, Aleksandr Iosifovich Pershits (1923-2007), was the most authoritative Soviet theorist of customary law and primitive social institutions, lending the volume additional scholarly weight. The print run of 400 copies is exceptionally tight even by the crisis standards of early post-Soviet academic publishing, and the book is rarely found on the market. A 2015 reprint by LENAND exists, but the original Nauka\/Vostochnaya literatura edition remains the preferred reference copy for specialists.

Born in Baku to a worker at the Nobel Brothers oil company, Baibaków graduated from the Azerbaijan Oil Institute, rose to managing the Leninneft trust by 1937, and in 1938 was appointed by People's Commissar of Fuel Industry Lazar Kaganovich as head of Vostokneftedobicha (Eastern Oil Production) in Kuibyshev. This book was written the following year, when Baibaków was 27-28 years old and held direct operational command of the Second Baku program. He subsequently served as People's Commissar and Minister of the Oil Industry (1944-1955) and, most consequentially, as Chairman of Gosplan USSR in two terms — 1955-1958 and 1965-1985 — making him the longest-serving director of the Soviet state planning apparatus and one of the most powerful economic administrators in the history of the USSR. He was twice Hero of Socialist Labor and laureate of the Lenin Prize (1963). All of Baibaków's other books — his memoirs \"Forty Years in Government\" (1993), \"From Stalin to Yeltsin\" (1998), and \"My Homeland Azerbaijan\" (2001) — appeared only after the dissolution of the USSR. The 1939 \"Second Baku\" is therefore the only publication from the decades of his actual authority: a category of document that does not exist for any comparable figure in Soviet economic history.\u003cbr\u003eThe subject matter amplifies the significance further. The Second Baku — the Volga-Ural oil region, extending across Bashkiria, the Kama basin, and the Kuibyshev area — was designated a strategic priority of the Third Five-Year Plan in direct party resolutions by Stalin (XVII Congress) and Molotov (XVIII Congress), both quoted as epigraphs in this volume. The stated rationale was the Soviet government's fear that in the event of war the Baku oilfields could fall to an enemy — a fear proven prescient in 1942 when German forces reached the northern Caucasus. Whether the Second Baku was a genuine strategic alternative or, as some later historians have argued, in part a deliberate act of strategic deception intended to mislead potential adversaries about Soviet oil capacity, only deepens the historical interest of this primary document written by its own director. The book surveys the initial oil discoveries of 1929 at Verkhnechusovskie Gorodki, the geology of the region, the history of eastern Soviet oil extraction, and the operations of the Bashneft, Syzranneft, Embaneft, Tuimazaneft, Prikamneft, and Buguruslanneft trusts, covering the Ishimbai, Tuimaza, Krasnokamsk, Severokamsk, Syzran, Kuibyshev, and Samarskaya Luka fields. Both maps of the oilfield region are present.\u003cbr\u003ePolitical pamphlets of this type, printed on newsprint-grade paper by OGIZ in 1939, had extremely low survival rates. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44367914795050,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_3269.jpg?v=1778800800"},{"product_id":"soselia-g-the-social-and-state-system-of-georgia-according-to-the-knight-in-the-panthers-skin-sakartvelos-sazogadoebrivi-da-sakhelmtsipoebrivi-tskobileba-vepkhistkaosnis-mikhedvit-sokhumi-1956","title":"Soselia, G.
