  Magna Carta - Its Medieval...

  The Magna Carta Libertatum, commonly known as the Magna Carta, is a royal charter of rights that was signed by King John of England on June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, near Windsor. This historic document was initially drafted by Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton in response to escalating tensions between King John and a group of discontented barons. The Magna Carta sought to resolve these tensions by outlining a series of promises and protections, aimed at securing peace between the monarchy and the nobility. 
  At its core, the Magna Carta addressed several critical grievances, promising protection for the rights of the Church, safeguarding barons from illegal imprisonment, guaranteeing access to swift justice, and imposing limitations on feudal payments to the Crown. These promises were to be enforced through the creation of a council of 25 barons, which would oversee the king's adherence to the terms. However, the charter's effectiveness was short-lived. Within a few months, Pope Innocent III annulled the document, declaring it void, as neither King John nor the rebel barons honored their commitments. This revocation led directly to the First Barons' War, a conflict that further destabilized the kingdom.

  The fascinating true story of how Taos Pueblo's Indigenous people recruited members of the famous Taos art colony to help spark a movement for Native justice that reshaped the nation.When the first white artists arrived in Taos by horse-drawn wagons, centuries of military conquest and brutal government policies had pushed Indigenous people to the brink of collapse. New Mexico's pueblos had become some of America's last holdouts of traditional culture, resolutely preserving their sacred lands in the face of mounting pressure. Many of the free-spirited newcomers in Taos came to admire the pueblos' peaceful, communal societies and holy regard for the natural world. To these outsiders, pueblo civilization offered a marked contrast to America's record of endless war, hyperindividualism, and environmental destruction. Among those attracted to Taos was the "Queen of Bohemia," a wealthy New York heiress who dabbled in peyote and personified radical chic. Mabel Dodge Luhan fell in love with Taos Pueblo leader Tony Lujan and hoped to inspire an American spiritual renaissance based on pueblo values.  As the art colony gained international fame, the US government targeted the pueblos for extinction, moving to seize their lands and destroy their cultures. This same grim scenario had played out countless times before in US history. It seemed that nothing could stop the brutal crush of conquest. But the puebloans, who had once unleashed a fierce revolt against Spain in 1680, found a new way to fight back in the modern era. As master diplomats, they began recruiting the prominent creatives converging on Taos, shrewdly enlisting them as political allies. And these artists and writers, at a crucial moment in history, rose to join the pueblos and challenged their own culture's prevailing genocidal policies.

  “An exceptional study. The author of the book has had the audacity to approach Russian chaos... armed with her desire to prove that the country is by no means a madhouse but simply an immense space, difficult to access for the outsider who is unfamiliar with Russian traditions, history and mentality.” Lyubova Klobukova, Izvestia. 
   
  “Alla Sergueeva’s book is highly topical. The author loves Russia, cares about its people, is proud of its history, culture and science.” Vladimir Nogovsky, Russian Thought.
   
  Should a foreigner accept an invitation to the Russian baths? How many glasses of vodka should you drink in one go before trying to refuse? Why do Russians endure life at great sacrifice? What is “Russian happiness” made of? And above all, what’s new in 21st-century Russia?
  Over the past fifteen years, the “mysterious Slavic soul” has undergone unprecedented metamorphosis. It was time to draw up an exhaustive inventory of the new way of life and psychology of the Russians.
