Author: Billy Wellman, Enthralling History
Narrator: Jay Herbert

The Russian Revolution is a perfect example of how history can contract and become exceedingly dense and complex. Untangling the Russian Revolution (in fact, Russian revolutions) must start by considering events that happened centuries before February 1917. Only in this way can we understand the multitude of events compressed into the short months of the decisive year 1917. The Russian Revolution, apart from the Chinese Revolution, is perhaps the biggest social experiment the world has ever known. Suddenly, millions of people found themselves living in a country led by fervent Marxists who had grand plans not only for their country but also for all humanity. Finally, the Russian Revolution continues to shape global politics, with modern-day Russia built directly on the ruins of the great Communist revolution.

The Insurrectionist Major General Edwin A. Walker and the Birth of the Deep State Conspiracy


Free Download Peter Adams, "The Insurrectionist: Major General Edwin A. Walker and the Birth of the Deep State Conspiracy"
English | ISBN: 0807179922 | 2023 | 280 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Peter Adams’s The Insurrectionist is the first comprehensive biography of Major General Edwin A. Walker, a figure who, in the 1950s and 1960s, became a leader of a far-right political movement known for its elaborate conspiracy theories, authoritarianism, and uncompromising white supremacy. Sixty years before the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, Edwin Walker was charged with insurrection and seditious conspiracy. He was arrested on orders from the attorney general after leading a deadly riot against federal marshals as they protected the first African American student attempting to register at the University of Mississippi. Those who flocked to Walker’s side believed an invisible government working with coconspirators in the Kremlin and United Nations would soon enslave America under a one-world dictatorship. Walker’s deep state conspiracy theory has echoed through American political culture into the age of QAnon, finding a new home among today’s far-right extremists.

Free Download Form vs. Work: A Major Antinomy of Music Theory and Analysis
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9815129015 | 338 Pages | PDF (True) | 15 MB
The antinomy of musical work and musical form has been central for music theory for centuries. Musical work is complete and all-inclusive, which makes it an ideal object of study. However, the teaching of musical form, albeit selective, is self-sufficient and epistemologically sovereign. The book offers both the historical overview and the analytical discourse on this antinomy in both Western and Russian perspectives. It presents an insider’s view of the latter and contains materials never previously published.
