"The price paid by American people": a fine Soviet book pulished in English in the wake of the Great Depression. With extensive photomontage; a very good copy of the first edition, rare complete with both supplements.
REND, Ain [Ayn RAND; pseud. for Alisa ROZENBAUM] and D[mitrii] KOSTYGIN (translator)
Istochnik [The Source; ie. The Fountainhead in Russian translation]
Very rare first edition of 'The Fountainhead' in Rand's native language, Russian. No copies traced at auction, even in Russia; only two in libraries, none in Amercia. A beautiful example.
Fresh example, in contemporary binding, of this extensive, high-quality, and very unusual study of private wealth in tsarist Russia. A fascinating and very informative read, curiously authorised by the censors.
A rare gathering of essays and articles considering which future Ukraine should reach, written by a major figure of newly created Ukrainian state, published in the famous year of 1917. Rarely found, and here in fantastic condition in spite of their fragility.

An extremely rare and very intriguing publication, mixing Russian language, Latin types and Swedish political agenda at the end of the 17th century - just before the wars of Peter the Great and Charles XII. Apparently no copy in Russia; this being the second or third copy traced. A fine example.
Bulgakov's masterpiece in its entirety, complete with the famous dust-jacket. A very good copy, fresh internally. This is the 1971 second printing.

A fine example of the very first edition, originally published in French; fresh, in a master binding. Scarce, as we couldn't trace any copies at auction in many decades. An extensive work covering the history of Russia and the Russian empire, with a slavophile accent.
An intelligent analysis of Alexander II's famous reform and emancipation of the serfs. Uncommon, and here in a fantastic example from the author.

About 40 pp. of fantastic and confidential reading giving a detailed and open description of Siberia during the USSR, to Irkutsk, Khabarovsk and Yakutsk. A rare find, apparently unpublished.

Important little book announcing Lenin and the Russian Revolution. First separate edition, scarce, and here in an attractive binding, rather unusual for this type of text.
May 1945: World War II comes to an end, the Soviet are in Poland and Ukraine. It is time for the anti-Soviet Polish exiled to lobby the world's powers to restructure Poland as they wish to - that is including all its former regions, such as Eastern Galicia and Lvyv... This booklet is their detailed argumentation, with a wealth of explanations and statistics, and three maps. A fascinating read. Scarce: only 3 copies traced in the US.
[ROMANOVS – ALEXANDER II] – SHVETSOV, Gordei Mikhaïlovich
Sochineniia russkogo poeta prostoliudina [Title on cover] [Works of the Russian Common-Man Poet]
A fascinating volume concentrating various aspects of Tsar Alexander's II legacy, with poems celebrating his achievements, written by a former, freed serf and inscribed to the tsar's daughter with his mistress. An exceptional copy.
