P6161Moscow: Informatsionnyi Tsentr Moskovskogo Narodnogo Fronta 1988. Octavo 19 × 14 cm. Original side-stapled blind card wrappers: 123 pp. Wrappers lightly soiled; some rust to staples. Internally very good or better. This samizdat directory of "amateur socio-political organizations" published by the Moscow People's Front is a remarkable record of the burgeoning civil society in the late Soviet period as well as such phenomena as environmentalism and urban conservation. The Moscow People's Front MNF was founded in June 1988 when members of some forty amateur organizations convened to draft a ratification document and elect a governing body. According to this document "The objective of MNF is to aid in the democratic self-organization of the masses and to fight for socialist renewal of society for a democratic socialism." While the group advocated democracy "freedom of press and speech freedom of public protest" as well as for "a democratic planning of the economy" they saw this reform happening within the framework of socialism and "respect for the principles of socialism" was discussed as being of key significance. MNF further advocated for all government to be given over to "democratically elected Soviets" for labor unions to exist outside of government control and for ecological concerns to be taken seriously in the management of country's natural resources. The organization held weekly protests at Pushkinskaia Square in Moscow throughout the summer of 1988 to draw attention to its goals. This directory of socio-political organizations throughout the Soviet Union was created by MNF in the same year for internal use. <br /> <br /> The first "amateur organisations" sprang up in the Soviet Union in the 1960s during the Thaw. However these were mostly non-political in nature cultural literary scientific or sports clubs. Emboldened by Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of Glasnost and Perestroika Transparency and Rebuilding the amateur organisations took on an increasingly political bent. In 1986 a new decree "Regulations on Amateur Associations" legalised the registration and functioning of amateur or "informal" associations in the Soviet Union. Observing this movement in 1990 Lyudmila Alekseeva wrote for the Helsinky Watch Committee: "The emergence of so many spontaneous free associations since 1986 is working a fundamental change in Soviet life. What was for so long a grey and mute mass is now speaking out in a chorus of vigorous dissonant voices. A society that was atomized by Stalinist terror has begun to restructure itself. . Nicknamed by the Soviet press as neformaly or "informals" to distingush them from participants in officially organised and controlled bodies these millions of historic preservationists environmentalists political activists nationalists human rights campaigners body-builders pacifists sports fans Afghan war veterans hippies rock-music devotees and others are the grassroots activsts and sometimes the strategists of the new social movements" Neformaly: Civil Society in the USSR. New York: Helsinki Watch 1990. Despite the publicaton of this report the burgeoning of civil society in the late Soviet period was quickly forgotten. It comes to light in this directory.<br /> <br /> The directory is organized by republic and city and each entry gives the name of the organization the organization's focus and objectives as well as a brief history of its formation closing with contact information. Nearly 200 socialist anarchist nature and historical preservation organizations are listed all across the country each ranging in size from just a dozen to hundreds of members. The primary purpose of many of the associations listed in the directory is a kind of whistleblowing. For example the Moscow based "press-club" Glasnost defined its mission as "helping the individuals whose rights are being trampled by local authorities. . The aid is provided by publishing their story in the eponymous journal printed and distributed by the organization." Demokraticheskii Soiuz Democratic Union defined its mission as "opposition to totalitarianism" by organizing events and protests "promoting pluralism." Another Moscow based organization "Narodnyi arkhiv" People's Archive was actively compiling an archive of all manner of Samizdat self-published materials. The Leningrad based Demokratizatsiia profsoiuzov Democratization of Worker's Unions advocated "the creation of worker's unions that would be independent from the state." Arkhangelsk based "Ekologiia severa" Ecology of the north is one of many environmental organizations listed in the directory. The volume closes with organizations with a nationwide presence such as "Memorial" а group for the "preservation of memory of victims of Stalinism" and "providing aid to the victims of Stalinism" headed by the Soviet scientist and dissident activist Andrei Sakharov. Together the organizations in the directory provide a broad overview of the social concerns of Soviet citizens as well as the mechanisms that were available for their organizing. The volume is a remarkable time capsule of the burgeoning civil society in the last years of the Soviet state. Many of the organizations went on to achieve significant results often on the regional level and some of their initiators were to be elected to political positions. <br /> <br /> KVK OCLC show various copies of the first part suggesting that no further issues were published.

1912131502Moscow: P. P. Pavlov 1912-13. A remarkable photographic survey of pre-Revolution Moscow Superb and extremely scarce photographic record of pre-Revolution Moscow captured in a series of quite stunning images by one of the foremost Russian photographers of the period P. P. Pavlov. An online search of institutional libraries cites 3 locations only - British Library Harvard and Columbia - with no copy traced on auction records. Among the many subjects featured here are schools hospitals orphanages public housing gasworks tram depots abbatoirs and administrative buildings focusing on the progressive aspects of the city and offering a panoramic view of the Russian capital at the dawn of the 20th century. Included here are two views of Tolstoy's house plates 51 and 52 today the Tolstoy Estate-Museum bearing the caption "acquis par la ville" acquired by the city nicely dating these images to after 15 November 1912 when the Moscow municipality bought the writer's home with all its furniture for 125000 roubles and with the intention that the courtyard should accommodate a Tolstoy School of sixteen classes. Pyotr Petrovich Pavlov 1860-1924 was born into a peasant family in Feodorovskaya village Olonetsky District Republic of Karelia on the western fringes of Russia. In 1881 he arrived in Moscow from St Petersburg and joined the well-established photographic studio of Scherer Nabholz and Co. serving a ten-year apprenticeship. In 1891 Pavlov opened his own studi specialising in individual and group portraits famously photographing Anton Chekhov in 1899. In 1898 he was commissioned by the Imperial Moscow Archaeological Society Imperatorskoye Moskovskoye Arkheologicheskoye Obshchestvo or IMAO to photograph both the historical and monumental fabric of Moscow and later as presented here the city's fine municipal architecture. Interestingly Pavlov was also responsible for a series of photographs recording the damage sustained by Moscow's buildings during the Bolshevik shelling of the city in 1917. His work was the subject of a 2011 exhibition at Rosphoto Moscow Pyotr Pavlov: Views of Old Moscow. Landscape folio 403 x 541 mm. 240 photogravure plates printed on 220 leaves of heavy stock card 20 leaves with two plates captions in Russian and French studio credit of P. P.
