192542907Berlin Neuer Deutscher Verlag 1925. 1st edition. Original 3-color printed wrappers 12mo 176 pages. Foreword by the Dutch trade union official Edo Fimmen 1882-1942. <br> Fimmen was committed to a workers’ united front and was chairman of the The International Federation of Trade Unions also known as the Amsterdam International from 1919 to 1923. He was also a member of International Workers' Aid and through his friendship with Willi Münzenberg an important supporter of the International Red Aid and the League against Imperialism and Colonial Oppression. <br> Widely-read among Anti-fascists in Germany in the years leading up to Hitler's win in the Reichstag this work includes numerous photo plates with travel impressions and a list of the delegation members. <br> In her recent history of East Germany “Beyond the Wall†historian Katia Hoyer discusses the importance of this book in building a positive image of the newly founded Soviet Union among German Communists including Jews who would soon begin to flee to the USSR in large numbers as the Nazi noose tightened.<br> She notes that “a 1925 brochure called ‘What Did 58 German Workers See in Russia’ became instrumental in creating a paradisiacal image of the Soviet Union. It was inspired by the communist Hermann Remmele who had led a group of his comrades on a grand tour of sorts through Russia. <br> The pamphlet was based on their reports and boasted of 'female workers who proudly talked of their equal treatment' and of wages that were '33 per cent higher' if one takes into account that workers lived rent-free and had excellent healthcare. All of this must have made the Soviet Union seem like the promised land to the unemployed and the destitute as well as to idealist intellectuals. <br> Having experienced the First World War and its appalling consequences older German communists wanted to believe there was a better alternative and saw the Soviet Union as a beacon of hope especially after the waves of arrests in Berlin in 1933. For most German political refugees who fled to the USSR after Hitler took power their time in Moscow began as a great adventure†page 15.<br> She notes that later however “Hermann Remmele the leader of the group that penned the propaganda brochure ‘What Did 58 German Workers See in Russia’ was to endure a fate that would stand in for many German communists. Once a darling of the Soviet political elite Grigory Zinoviev had called him 'the best and most precious asset of the German party. the gold of the proletariat' he was arrested in Russia in May 1937 on charges of spying and sabotage. Two years later he was sentenced to death and shot on the same day 7 March 1939.<br> His son Helmuth died on his way to a gulag in Siberia and his wife Anna would succumb to health problems caused by a horrific spell in Moscow's Butyrka prison†page 19.<br> SUBJECTS: Labor and laboring classes -- Soviet Union.

193042139Kiev: Katedr far Yidisher Kultur ba der Ukr. Visnshaftl. Akademye Filologishe Sektsye 1930. Paper Wrappers. 1st edition. Original printed publisher’s color paper wrappers 4to large ca 72-116 columns ca 36-58 pages per issue. 28 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates roughly as “The Yiddish Language.†Succeeded in 1931 by “Afn shprakhfront.â€Di Yidishe Shprakh was a “Yiddish linguistic journal published in Kiev from 1927 to 1930. A bimonthly journal Di yidishe shprakh The Yiddish Language was published by the cooperative publishing house Kultur-lige and was the main philological publication of the Kiev Yiddish academic center. Its editor was the veteran Yiddishist Nokhem Shtif a founder of YIVO who had returned to Kiev from Germany in 1926. The journal’s inaugural issue March–April 1927 was published under the auspices of the Central Yiddish Bureau of the Ukrainian Commissariat for Education. With the next issue Di yidishe shprakh was an organ of the Chair and from July to October 1929 it was an organ of the Institute for Jewish later Proletarian Jewish Culture at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Initially defined as a 'journal for practical Yiddish linguistics' from May to June 1927 it appeared as simply a 'journal for Yiddish linguistics. 'Shtif distinguished three language registers: the vernacular of the old generation partly represented in the works of Sholem Aleichem and predecessors; the highbrow language of modern writers such as Dovid Bergelson; and the contemporary 'culture language' most notably of the press. Although Shtif sought to target speakers of the mass 'culture language' the journal’s circulation hovered around 500 copies read mainly by Yiddish teachers.Apart from Shtif who published articles on various language-planning problems the most active contributors to Di yidishe shprakh were Ber Slutski Ayzik Zaretski Elye Falkovitsh Lipe Reznik and Shimen Dobin. In early 1929 Moscow literary critic Aron Gurshteyn criticized the journal for its purist approach to language planning. In the July–October 1929 issue Shtif published his article 'Di sotsyale diferentsiatsye in yidish' The Social Differentiation in Yiddish heralding an intensification of Soviet linguists’ anti-Hebraist campaign. That issue of Di yidishe shprakh adopted completely reformed Soviet spelling omitting for example final consonant letters.Although the last—twenty-fifth—issue of the journal was dated November–December 1930 it included materials from the First All-Union Yiddish Language Conference convened in Kiev from 8 to 13 February 1931 that issue is present here. Published under the imprint of the Central Publishing House this issue also signaled the demise of the remaining vestiges of the Kiev Kultur-lige. Yoysef Liberberg’s article 'Far parteyishkayt in der yidisher visnshaft-arbet' For a Party Approach to Yiddish Linguistics marked a full break with YIVO scholars particularly with YIVO director Max Weinreich whom Liberberg ridiculed for presenting Yiddish as an emanation of the Ashkenazic Jews’ soul. The Yiddish Language Conference decided to change the name of the journal. Between 1931 and 1939 it appeared sporadically under the title Afn shprakhfront On the Language Front reflecting its new more aggressive and politically charged approach' Gennady Estraikh in YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe 2010.

Title translates as “The Season.â€<br> Rare volume 1 published in the USSR of the quarterly literary magazine Ha-Tekufah. Includes essays by Simon Dubnow poetry short stories translations and articles.<br> Ha-Tekufah was a “Hebrew periodical devoted to literary scientific and social subjects which appeared first as a quarterly then as an annual intermittently between 1918 and 1950. Ha-Tekufah received the financial backing of Abraham Joseph Stybel a philanthropist who had placed David Frischmann in charge of launching Hebrew literary projects on an unprecedented large scale. Accordingly Frischmann established both the Stybel publishing house and launched Ha-Tekufah serving as the editor of both projects. The first volume of Ha-Tekufah appeared in Moscow early in 1918 before the Bolshevik regime had decided to suppress Hebrew literature. Frischmann published the works of the world's best authors and scholars. The literary standards of the periodical were high. Frischmann encouraged young authors for example Eliezer Steinman. In all respects and not least for its beautiful graphic work Ha-Tekufah was a rare phenomenon in Hebrew literature.†Jewish Virtual Library.<br> SUBJECTS: Hebrew literature Modern -- Periodicals.

The first article produced on the eve of Indian independence begins: 'Moscow radio broadcast an account of a lecture given by Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Zhukove on "The Situation in India" at the Polytechnical Museum in Moscow.' It proceeds with a summary of Zhukov's lecture the view he expounds including the following: 'Britain's new policy derives from the economic changes which took place in India during the years of the Second World War. India's big bourgeoisie made profits from the war and have become richer and at the same time more compliant towards Britain. The bourgeoisie's fear of the popular masses is greater than their fear of Britain.' The second articles is pure propaganda beginning: 'A vast territory of over 1158000 sq. miles lies in the North-East of the Soviety Union. In Tsarist days it was known as "the Siberia of Siberia." It is now the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic - a part of the Russian Federation - which is just celebrating the 25th anniversary of its foundation says a TASS message.'
