  Are you curious to learn what set Russia on its present-day course? 
  The Russian Revolution is a perfect example of how history can contract and become exceedingly dense and complex. Untangling the Russian Revolution (in fact, Russian revolutions) must start by considering events that happened centuries before February 1917. Only in this way can we understand the multitude of events compressed into the short months of the decisive year 1917. 
  The Russian Revolution, apart from the Chinese Revolution, is perhaps the biggest social experiment the world has ever known. Suddenly, millions of people found themselves living in a country led by fervent Marxists who had grand plans not only for their country but also for all humanity. 
  Finally, the Russian Revolution continues to shape global politics, with modern-day Russia built directly on the ruins of the great Communist revolution. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about:The early days of the Russian Empire, the legendary Ruriks, and how Russians accepted Christianity.The radicalization of social movements, personified in the typical anarchist, Sergey Nechaev.Bloody precursors of the Russian Revolution, such as the assassination of Emperor Alexander II by anarchists.The inert and anachronistic Nicholas II Romanov who unwittingly contributed to his empire’s downfall.Fervent, feverous, and audacious Vladimir Lenin who led the revolution toward its radical turn in October 1917.The chaos of the Russian Civil War and the birth of war communism and the Red Terror.The aftermath of the Revolution: Lenin’s sudden illness and the political struggles of his successors.The rise of Stalin, who would lead the USSR into its most glorious and horrifying moments.

  The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. Niccolò Machiavelli, belongs to such prominent Florentines as Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli

  The Weimar Republic - Inflation...

  To summarize everything about this topic, the Weimar Republic was a disaster. Perhaps the setup of the republic wasn’t as much as fault as just the world events that led to the Great Depression, the eventual surrender of Germany to France, Russia, and England in World War I before that, and other significant changes in the economy at the time. 
  The Weimar Republic was a federal constitutional republic that lasted in Germany from 1918 to 1933. The German Reich (Deutsches Reich) was the main name of the state, which was also referred to as the German Republic (Deutsche Republik). The first word associates with the city of Weimar, which hosted the republic's first constituent assembly. The nation was typically described as "Germany" in English; the title "Weimar Republic" didn't become well-known till the 1930s. 
  Do you want to buy a few eggs with thousands of marks? How about a loaf of bread for ten thousand dollars? The inflation in the Weimar Republic led to a severe economic downturn, one that had probably never been there ever before. This led to other problems, which also explained the rise of Nazi Germany somewhat later. 
  If you want to understand all these things, then go ahead and get started.

  What if the very medicine that could save your life was locked behind a patent?
   
  Owning the Sun is a powerful and urgent investigation into how the pharmaceutical industry turned lifesaving knowledge into private property—and the global consequences of that transformation. Tracing the rise of medical monopolies from postwar public research to pandemic-era profit wars, this audiobook exposes the systems, laws, and ideologies that prioritize wealth over wellness.
   
  With riveting storytelling and deep analysis, it unpacks how drugs developed with public funds became billion-dollar assets controlled by private corporations. From the AIDS crisis in Africa to the COVID-19 vaccine battles, from grassroots resistance to the call for a new commons, Owning the Sun challenges listeners to reconsider what we value—and who pays the price for progress.
   
  Essential listening for anyone concerned with healthcare, ethics, or justice in the modern world, this audiobook is a call to action: reclaim medicine for the many, not the few.
