Born in Moscow, Wladimir Kaminer emigrated to Berlin in the early `90s when he was 22. Russian Disco is a series of short & comic autobiographical vignettes about life among the emigres in the explosive & extraordinary multi-cultural atmosphere of `90s Berlin. It`s an exotic, vodka-fuelled millennial Goodbye to Berlin. The stories show a wonderful, innocent, deadpan economy of style reminiscent of the great humorists. [ Several of his European editors make a comparison with current bestseller David Sedaris.] Kaminer manages to say a great deal without seeming to say much at all. He speaks about the offbeat personal events of his own life but captures something universal about our disjointed times. ...

Fleeing Russia amid the chaos of the 1917 revolution & subsequent Civil War, many writers went on to settle in Paris, Berlin & elsewhere. In exile, they worked as taxi drivers, labourers & film extras, & wrote some of the most brilliant & imaginative works of Russian literature. This new collection

Includes:: stories by the most famous emigre writers, Vladimir Nabokov & Ivan Bunin, & introduces powerful lesser known voices, some of whom have never been available in English before. Here is Yuri Felsen`s evocative, impressionistic account of a night of debauchery in Paris; Teffi`s witty & timely reflections on refugee experience; & Mark Aldanov`s sparkling story of an elderly astrologer who unexpectedly finds himself in Hitler`s bunker in Berlin. Exploring displacement, loss & new beginnings, their short stories vividly evoke the experience of life in exile & also return obsessively to the Russia that has been left behind
- whether as a beautiful dream or terrifying nightmare. By turns experimental, funny, exciting, poignant & haunting, these works reveal the full range of emigre writing & are presented here in masterly translations by Bryan Karetnyk & others.

The vast & expanding Russian empire of the eighteenth century was inhabited by a great number of peoples. This book, part anthology, part commentary, is the first of its kind to bring together British travellers` accounts of the peoples & places of the lesser known but key parts of Russia s frontiers: the Lower Volga, Azerbaijan, parts of Kazakhstan & `independent Tartary` or central Asia. In the course of their journeys the travellers variously encountered indigenous Finnic groups, diverse sedentary & nomadic Tatars & Mongol Oirats (Kalmyks). With the exception of central Asia, Russia made significant inroads into these regions from 1700 onwards, with a resulting cultural impact on their non-Slavic inhabitants that included forced Christianisation, the restriction of pastures & the settlement of foreign & Russian colonies. The majority of writers included here were working in Russia & travelled in the course of their duties, visiting parts little known to Western Europeans. Their observations include ethnographic, scientific, antiquarian & contemporary historical analysis. They reflect eighteenth-century enlightenment curiosity & the writers personal voices but were also coloured by experiences at the hands of the state & by Russia`s spectacular growth, which prompted feelings ranging from admiration to alarm. Commentaries contextualise the texts, & include references to contemporary observers working for the St. Petersburg academy of sciences (academicians) & other foreign travellers as well as to modern scholarship. This anthology, which spans nearly one hundred years, introduces the reader to the various areas regionally, thematically & chronologically, & while giving an overview of the history of the times, reveals geopolitical issues that still deeply affect many of these regions today. ...
