Synopsis

Journey through the captivating history of Russian aviation, from its humble beginnings to its status as a global powerhouse.

In this comprehensive and engaging narrative, we delve into the remarkable feats of Russian aviators, from the early pioneers who took to the skies in rickety aircraft to the cosmonauts who ventured into the vastness of space. We witness the birth of the Soviet aviation industry, a colossus that produced countless aircraft, both for military and civilian use, and played a pivotal role in the nation's victory in World War II. We trace the development of iconic aircraft such as the MiG fighter jets, the Tupolev bombers, and the Antonov cargo planes, marvels of engineering that showcased the ingenuity and determination of Soviet engineers.

Beyond the realm of military and technological achievements, we explore the profound impact that aviation has had on Russian culture and society. We trace the representation of aviation in literature, art, and film, and examine the ways in which it has shaped Russian identity and aspirations. We also investigate the challenges and opportunities that Russian aviation faces in the 21st century, from the need for modernization and innovation to the imperative of sustainability in an era of climate change.

With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book brings to life the extraordinary stories of Russian aviators, engineers, and visionaries who have shaped the course of aviation history. It is a testament to the human spirit of innovation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of the skies.

Parallel Lives - A Love Story...

Iain Pears

An extraordinary love story of two unlikely figures played out against the backdrop of the Cold War.
Best-selling novelist and art historian Iain Pears enchants readers with the real-life romance between Larissa Salmina, a Russian art curator, and Francis Haskell, a British art historian. His fabulous book brings into sharp focus the strange world of the Soviet Union, and the even stranger world of a certain variety of the English elite. It seeks to show how leaving the Soviet Union was a sacrifice for her and how it was the English man, not the Russian woman, who was set free because of their meeting.
Larissa was born in northern Russia, the daughter of a Soviet army officer from a noble family who survived the siege of Leningrad by eating cats’ tails and being evacuated over the ice. Francis was the grandson of an Iraqi Jew, forever feeling out of place in his adopted country of England. Parallel Lives is the story of how these two star-crossed lovers met, instantly understand each other, and were prepared to risk heartbreak, and in her case, retribution, to be together.
Escaping Leningrad, teenage Larissa lived in the Urals surrounded by Spanish revolutionaries, and after the war rose to become the youngest commissar in the Soviet Union and keeper of Italian drawings at the Hermitage. She took the Russian contribution to the Venice Biennale in 1962 and lost it on the journey. She briefly absconded with her supervisor’s corpse, developed a useful sideline in forgery, and stole (“I didn’t steal it. I liberated it”) a Matisse from the Italian government. Francis was a distinguished art historian, comfortably at home in King’s College Cambridge. But he was lonely, self-doubting, and had all but abandoned hope of falling in love. Larissa swept away all the years of anguish in one meal.
Iain Pears, who was neighbors with Larissa and Francis in Oxford, knew both his principal characters well. In telling Larissa and Francis’s love story, he is also capturing the Europe of a bygone era: a world of dancers, exiles, and the occasional spy, of artists, aristocrats, and academics. It is a tale of a world we have lost.

Marla Bernard

The true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a Missouri teen and her family’s journey to justice. In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.
