Escape maps of Stalingrad and Stepnoy.

1952183941London: Ordnance Survey 1952. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1919 and 1916 with isogonals correct to 1953. These maps were issued in the early years of the Cold War only a decade after the region was ravaged in the Battle of Stalingrad. Stepnoy now Elista was renamed only five years after this map's publication. In the early years of the Cold War the CIA attempted to gather information on the Soviet Union through aerial spying missions flown with the co-operation of the British government. "The RAF formed a top-secret reconnaissance outfit in the spring of 1951. Churchill approved the RAF overflight program knowing that if one of the planes came down on Russian territory Labour MPs in an embarrassed and angered House of Commons undoubtedly would force a vote of confidence to bring down his government. But he balanced that possibility against the desperate need for radar pictures of Soviet military targets that would held SAC and RAF bombers in the event of war" Burrows pp. 131-33. In 1952 John Crampton flew a high-speed high-altitude test run over the Berlin corridor which Bomber Command followed with three simultaneous sorties reaching as far as Moscow itself. After a ten-hour mission that triggered the Soviet air defences "All three planes made it back to Sculthorpe with their radar imagery and without a scratch" Burrows p. 134 angering the Kremlin and prompting a review of the nation's air warning systems. The map of Stalingrad is the fourth edition and the map of Stepnoy is the fifth. Single sheet of cloth 605 x 554 mm colour maps with key on each side pale border on Stalingrad side lettered in red blue and black. Map bright sometime folded and creased edges a little frayed: a very good copy. William Burrows By Any Means Necessary: America's secret air war in the Cold War 2001. hardcover

[Russie] François-Timoléon de Choisy dit l'abbé de Choisy ou Joseph-Gaspard Lambert de Guérin,Livre Rare Book

Le prince Kouchimen, histoire tartare et Dom Alvar del Sol, histoire napolitaine.

013359[Russie] François-Timoléon de Choisy dit l'abbé de Choisy ou Joseph-Gaspard Lambert de Guérin, Le prince Kouchimen, histoire tartare et Dom Alvar del Sol, histoire napolitaine. Paris, Jacques Estienne, 1710. In-12, [4]-150-[2]p. Edition originale de cet ouvrage attribué à l'abbé de Choisy par Barbier et Quérard mais que certains attribuent à l'ancien ingénieur au service de la Russie, Joseph-Gaspard Lambert de Guérin. Il avait quitté la Russie sans l'autorisation du tsar Pierre 1er en 1706, fut arrêté en Prusse en 1711, accusé de désertion, mais réussit à s'enfuit en Italie. L'ouvrage aura 4 éditions au XVIIIe siècle et son titre évoluera et deviendra Histoire de l'origine du prince Menzikow en 1728. Le premier texte est une critique d'Alexandre Danilovitch Menchikov (1673-1729), proche du tsar Pierre Ier, à l'ambition démesurée. Le nom du personnage est évidemment un anagramme de Menchikov, du verlan avant l'heure ! Le tsar devient le Grand Cam, monarque de la Grande Tartarie. C'est le premier livre à s'intéresser à ce personnage, capable de corruption pour arriver à ses fins, devenu richissime et puissant. Le second texte est une petite nouvelle romançant la rencontre entre Anna Caraffa (1607-1644), princesse de la maison napolitaine Carafa, et Ramiro Núñez de Guzmán (ca.1600-1668), grand d'Espagne, 2e duc de Medina de las Torrès. Ils apparaissent ici sous des noms quasi transparents, Anna devenant Diana et Ramiro devenant Philippes Ramires. Le duc s'est alors présenté à Naples sous le pseudonyme de Dom Alvar del Sol. Plein veau, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre maroquin, tranches rouges. Accroc à la coiffe supérieur, épidermures, deux coins un peu usés, petit travail de vers principalement marginale en pied de pages (sans empêcher la lecture). L'ouvrage, présent dans de nombreux catalogues anciens de ventes, est devenu rare.

"The author has assimilated a large body of foreign scholarship primarily "new social history" produced by Anglo-American authors along with a sprinkling of more broadly European economic and demographic history from the 1970s and 1980s which is effectively incorporated into his own very deep empirical knowledge. . The reader does not find in this extensively researched account the standard Soviet answers to specific historical questions. Mironov has abandoned most Soviet cliches though he still assumes that laws of Russian history can be identified based on social science theory and quantitative analysis Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter."

He was unable to turn a profit from his endeavors and his family fell into financial hardship. His daughter Margaret Olivia Scolum Sage became an influential philanthropist and teacher. She endowed a building and a now-defunct agricultural school at Syracuse University both named after him.Archive. 9 pieces. 1830s-40s. An archive related to Joseph Slocum and his business with Russian agriculture. There are nine letters and documents predominately letters written to Slocum from various Americans and Russians.

It states in part: European Russia it may be divided grosso muto in three great regions or belts running from East to West. 1st - The first region extends between the White Sea and the provinces of Tver Smolensk Nijni-Novogorod & Kazan - it contains more wood low marshy ground intermixed the sand Baron then arable land. Rye oats barley potatoes hemp and flax are the main products of that region. 2nd - the second section of the Empire being comparatively densely populated forms a central part of the European Russia it is particularly addicted to manufacturing pursuits. It's Southern limits is about the course of the Oka River & the Central Valley of the Volga. The agricultural products are nearly the same as aforesaid. 3rd - the third region extending to the south and southeast as far as the Black Sea the provinces of Ashnaklan and the Ural Mountains reaches the Carpathian mountains Galicia & Moldavia in the West. It is mostly covered with a rich strata of black earth with a subsoil of clay lime & sandstone. Minoru is generally not used in this part of the country vulgarly called the step or prairie count the staple products of the fertile district are rye winter and summer wheat especially summer wheat - the summer frosts in the autumn preventing the seeds of the winter week to start up well millet oats barley peas buckwheat field poppy hemp flax & linseed. Cotton & Vine are raised merely in the most remote districts of the South such as Georgia Astrakhan the territory of the Cossacks of the Don Crimea & Bessarabia.

The saltworks are especially remarkable on the left sure the Volga on the verge of the province of Astrakhan as well as near the Ural River not far from the city of Orenburg.
