In the vast expanse of post-Soviet Russia, a land of contrasts and contradictions, a journey of transformation unfolds. This book takes readers on an immersive exploration of Russia's political, economic, social, and cultural landscapes, revealing the challenges and opportunities it faces in the 21st century.

    Crisis of Command - How We Lost...

    Combat-decorated Marine officer Stuart Scheller speaks out against the debacle of the Afghan pullout as the culmination of a decades-long and still-ongoing betrayal of military members by top leadership, from generals to the commander in chief, comes to light. 
 
 
 
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller was the perfect Marine. Battle tested. A leader. Decorated for valor. Yet when the United States acted like the Keystone Cops in a panicked haphazard exit from Afghanistan for political reasons, Scheller spoke out, and the generals lashed out. In fact, they jailed him to keep him quiet, claiming he lost the "trust and confidence" bestowed upon him by the Marines—when the faith and trust is exactly what our generals and even our commander-in-chief betrayed by exercising such reckless and derelict policies. Now Scheller is free from the shackles of the Marine Corps and can speak his mind. And in Crisis of Command, that he does. He holds our generals' feet to the fire. The same generals who play frivolously with the lives of our service men and women for political gain. The same generals who lied to political leaders to further their own agendas and careers. Stuart Scheller is here to say that the buck stops here. Accountability starts now. It's time to demand accountability and stand up for our military. In this book, Stuart Scheller shows us how.

    A reconsideration of Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking A Room of One’s Own through a very modern lens, revisiting Woolf’s now archaic politics and mining the text for lessons on how to be a writer.
The central message of A Room of One’s Own is that, to write, women must have money and a room of their own. The context of this has changed, so Queyras is asking what the contemporary version of that room is.

    The mechanics have a secret hidden deep in the junkyard. I’ll never tell anyone… 
I’m a private equity investor. I buy struggling companies and gut them. People think I’m evil, but it’s just business. 
My latest employees refuse to be laid off though. 
Now I’m chained to a desk in a dark, lonely room. I struggle to remember what life was like before this. I’ve become a pet—a toy for the men I was supposed to fire. 
They’ve fastened a collar around my neck and named me “Shadow”. They’ve trained me for obedience. With each passing day, it grows harder to remember my past. I’m sinking deep into this new life. 
I’m loyal now. I’m a good, obedient boy.
