Erstausgabe
First edition. Complete. Printed in only 5,000 copies. In publisher's photographic folder. 145 105 mm. One of the earliest publications about Chelyuskin. A collection of 34 photographic postcards, with images showing the episodes of the Chelyuskin expedition, the Arctic voyage of the steamship that stuck in ice, the rescue of the passengers and crew by airplane, and the celebration of their homecoming. The story became one of the most glorified events in 1930s Stalinist Russia, and it was mythologized as much as the British expeditions of Shackleton and Scott. The official professional photographers and cameramen of the expedition were Petr Novitzky, and Arkadi Shafran (1907-1983), who also made a film about the event (Chelyuskin, Heroes of the Arctic; 1934). Some of the photos were also used in the famous photo book "Geroicheskaia Epopeia" published by the Pravda in 1935. The steamship Chelyuskin with the leader of the expedition Otto Yuliyevich Shmidt, the captain Vladimir Ivanovich Voronin, the crew and about hundred of passengers on board started its mission from Murmansk, in August 1933. The expedition's task was to determine the possibility to travel by non-icebreaker through the Northern Maritime Route in a single navigation season. In September 1933 the ship got stuck in pack ice in the Chukchi Sea near Kolyuchin Island and after an unsuccessful rescue attempt by an icebreaker, on 13 February 1934, Chelyuskin was crushed by ice. The members of the expedition managed to escape and landed on a drifting ice floe where they built a makeshift airstrip. The Soviet government had taken measures to rescue people by airplanes thus between March 5 and April 13, 1934 all passengers and crew were evacuated, and in June together with the hero-pilots, led by Anatoly Liapidevsky and Sigizmund Levanevsky arrived to Vladivostok. All passengers of Chelyuskin were awarded medals and the pilots were first in the country to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Despite the failure of the expedition the Soviets considered it successful, as it had proven that an ordinary cargo vessel could voyage through the North-East Passage in one season, thus the Northern Sea Route was officially opened and commercial exploitation began in 1935. Rare, we could not trace any complete set in institutional holdings worldwide. [Bibl.: Parr, M.; Badger, G.: The Photobook: A History. London: Phaidon, 2004. Vol. 1. p. 164.] . Folder artistically restored. Price on cover in ink. In very good condition. The postcards are in mint condition. In publisher's photographic folder First edition. Complete.

Third Russian edition. Third Russian edition. In publisher's printed wrappers. 134 p. Tolstoy finished the novella in late 1889 and the story was recited for public in a friends publishing house, but it was obvious that the Russian censorship would not allow the story to be published. Only a few hundreds of clandestine mimeograph (hectograph) copies of the handwritten text were circulated in Russia. In 1890 the German publishing house the "Bibliographic Office in Berlin" (B. Berg) published the story first in four languages (Russian, German, French and English) simultaneously. The second Russian edition was published the same year and the third edition in 1891. Extremely rare and very early edition. . Spine with blue vignette, slight rubbed. Front cover creased at lower corner. Trace of white vignette on inner rear cover. Overall a good copy.

Softcover. Zustand: poor to good+. Second edition. Folio. [3] 38pp. [9]. Original illustrated gray wrappers with red lettering on the front cover. Three illustrated title pages. Compiled and recorded by Ekaterina Alekseevna Cherkasskaya (1825-1888) and Baroness Varvara Sergeevna Plessen (1825-1893), this extremely scarce work is a collection of Russian lullabies, nursery rhymes, and children's songs of the 19th century. Both women were members of the Russian aristocracy of the period. As stated opposite the title page, the work is dedicated to Russian children and features delightful b/w engraved illustrations throughout by French artist Georges Gimbel (George Gimbel, ca.1840- ca.1890). The final 8 pages contain sheet music for 9 songs (with musical notation, lyrics and illustration), some of which was composed by "E.N. Zh-oy", and some of which was taken by her from previously existing melodies. We have not been able to determine the composer's identity, but the text states she is female. The first edition of the work is believed to have been published the previous year, also in Strasbourg, although information on this collection is extremely scant. There are no noted copies of either edition of this extremely scarce work on OCLC worldwide, although there are a few references to an existing copy in the Russian State Archives, and it is not known how many copies were ever printed. Pre-Revolutionary era Russian children's books with sheet music where quite uncommon, and it is interesting to observe that the majority of the contributors to this work were women. Text throughout in Russian. Wraps frayed along edges with chips and light creasing, back cover detached but present. Spine mostly missing. Some foxing in margins not affecting images.

Broadside. Zustand: vg+. 8 1/4 x6". Illustrated and printed tanned broadside. Two-sided, with text and illustration on the front, additional text on the verso. This German propaganda leaflet is printed in Russian, and was intended for distribution amongst members of Red Army to demoralize their troops during WWII. The front side features an image of broken chains, with accompanied text. The verso contains additional defiant text declaring the failure of Russian general Georgy Zhukov's plan to crush the German forces of the 1st Panzer Army under the command of General Hans-Valentin Hube, during the battle of Battle of the Kamenets-Podolsky pocket (March-April 1944), in Western Ukraine. Part of the larger soviet offensive known as the Proskurov-Chernovitsy Offensive, this battle commenced as Soviet forces encircled a German force of some 220,000 men, creating a pocket, cutting them off, and trapping them behind enemy lines. After weeks of furious fighting the Germans were able to break free and escape with the help of reinforcements from the west. However, this escape came at a steep price, with Wermacht forces loosing 45,000 soldiers and nearly exhausting their supply of supplies and equipment, including most of their tanks and heavy weaponry. Additionally, the massive marshaling of forces and supplies from across Europe during this time to the aid of the trapped forces, is now seen as playing a significant role in the weakening of the strength of forces on the Western front, at at time not long before the storming of France by Allied forces, during D-Day.

Softcover. Zustand: g to g+. First edition. Large octavo. [6], 121, [1], 41, [1]pp. Wrappers missing. In this detailed study, George Moses Price, a Russian-Jewish newspaper correspondant, analyzes the figures for the 1881 to 1891 Russian-Jewish migration following the pogroms of 1881 in the Pale of Settlement, a western region of Imperial Russia, in which permanent residency by Jews was allowed and beyond which Jewish permanent residency was generally prohibited. It extended from the eastern pale, or demarcation line, to the western Russian border with the Kingdom of Prussia (later the German Empire) and with Austria-Hungary. The Pale was first created by Catherine the Great in 1791, after several failed attempts by her predecessors, notably the Empress Elizabeth, to remove Jews from Russia entirely, unless they converted to Russian Orthodoxy, the state religion. Jewish life in the shtetls ("little towns") of the Pale of Settlement was hard and poverty-stricken. The concentration of Jews in the Pale made them easy targets for pogroms and anti-Jewish riots by the majority population. These, along with the repressive May Laws, often devastated whole communities. Though pogroms were staged throughout the existence of the Pale, particularly devastating attacks occurred between 1881-1883 and 1903-1906, targeting hundreds of communities, killing thousands of Jews. Although the concentration of pogroms in the southern region of the Pale might imply that the dominance of settlers from the South Pale was typical of Jewish migration in the early 1880s, this was not the case. Indeed, George Moses Price reveals that the Jewish immigration figures for the period of mass migration (1881-1891) indicate that most were from the North or Northwest Pale (areas hit most strongly by economic hardship).

The first Russian edition of Clara Zetkin's lecture on education, held at Women's Conference in Bremen in 1904.

Clara Zetkin (1857-1933) was a prominent figure in the German and international workers' movement, particularly in the women workers' movement as a pioneer advocate for women's rights, the editor of Die Gleichheit (Equality) the magazine of the women's proletarian movement, and as leader of various international women organizations during the course of her life.
