  Seize the City Undo the State -...

  How do separatist conflicts arise and spread? When does separatism become a cover for a foreign aggression? How do local communities respond when state institutions collapse, and militants take over? The armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which started eight years before Russia's full-scale invasion, contains unique evidence to address each of these questions.In Seize the City, Undo the State, Serhiy Kudelia offers an authoritative study of the conflict at its initial stage—2013-14—based on a meticulous comparison of mobilization dynamics in over dozen towns of Donbas as well as in two major cities outside of it: Kharkiv and Odesa. Kudelia explains how a small group of Russian agents and local militants succeeded in eliminating state control over the largest and most densely urbanized region of Ukraine but failed to do it elsewhere. His findings also show that when enough members of local communities organized to resist militant takeovers, the separatist challenges there quickly dissipated.A fine-grained and highly original on-the-ground analysis of the origins of the wider Russian-Ukrainian war that broke out in 2022, this book offers broader insights into the conditions under which external intervention may trigger the rise of an armed insurgency in a society torn apart by political and ideological disagreements.

  The Communist Manifesto

  Karl Marx

  "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".
  The Communist Manifesto lays out the principles of Marxism, analysing the historical development of class struggles and the dynamics of capitalism. Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict, and that capitalism, like previous systems, contains the seeds of its own destruction. Written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most influential political documents ever written, presenting a laser-sharp critique of inequality and presenting a vision for a radically different, classless society where "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."
  
  But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
  Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto and writing Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
  Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and political theorist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx. Born in Barmen, Prussia (now Wuppertal, Germany), Engels came from a wealthy textile manufacturing family. His early experiences in the family business exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which shaped his views on class struggle and social justice. Engels was a strong advocate for workers' rights and played a key role in the development of Marxist thought. He died in 1895 in London, leaving a lasting legacy in political theory.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson's Spiritual Laws is more than an essay—it's an invitation to align with the rhythm of the universe. With clarity and poetic force, Emerson strips away illusions of control, urging us to trust the quiet power within.
  For him, law isn't rigid or imposed; it's a natural flow, always present, waiting to be recognized. True self-reliance isn't defiance but harmony with this deeper order. The world moves for those who walk with conviction. The awakened soul follows a path beyond logic, yet never loses its way.
  Emerson doesn't instruct; he sparks something. He challenges us to trust our instincts, see beyond the immediate, and embrace the grand design at play.
  Part of his groundbreaking Essays: First Series, Spiritual Laws remains a timeless call to authenticity. Step into its pages, and you may just step into yourself.
