"[A]n admirable contribution to
our knowledge of one of Russia's less-studied peoples.
Scholars of Russian and Soviet nationality issues, Mongolian
studies, and late-Soviet/post.Soviet politics will all
benefit from this original work." The Russian
Review on Kalmykia
in Russia's Past and Present...
"A sharp, thoughtful, graciously
written study, based on impressive research in the archives
of the French and Italian parties, as well as East German
records, for insights into Soviet actions. The book
does not change the overall understanding of the positions
and roles of the two parties, but it adds much rich
detail and subtlety. Summing up: highly recommended".

Unfinished Socialism
Pictures from the Kádár Era
András Gerô, Central European University, Budapest
Iván Petô is a historian and a Member of the Hungarian
Parliament (Alliance of Free Democrats)
This extraordinary book provides a snapshot of socialism
throughout the Kádár regime in Hungary (1956-1989) and
captures the reality of the world behind the 'iron curtain'
in a stunning, and often stark, collection of photographs.
Unfinished Socialism is a visual anthropological study
containing over 450 photographs, many previously unpublished,
which portray life in Hungary from every angle: from
the May Day March to pop music and from the homeless
to sport.
With an introduction that will help the reader understand
and appreciate the true meaning of the photographs,
this political, social and cultural study of the Kádár
years truly transports the reader back to a time of
great significance in Hungary's long and turbulent history.
"essential reading/viewing for anyone interested
in the everyday life of Eastern European socialism."
