Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergei Georgiyevich Gorshkov led the Soviet Navy for almost three decades during the height of the Cold War. He was the architect of the Red Fleet, turning it from little more than a coastal defense force into the most powerful navy that Russia ever possessed. It was a remarkable achievement and gave his country unprecedented influence far beyond its shores. Ahead of his time, he was a strategist who advocated a much broader view of sea power than just the naval element, drawing together the exploitation of natural resources, the conduct of mercantile business, the enabling of legal frameworks, societal needs, environmental protection, politics and maritime security into his unified vision. But, most importantly for today’s scholars, he was also a writer, capturing his thoughts in books and articles written throughout his period at the helm. Now, a century after the Russian Revolution and almost three decades after the collapse of the USSR, there is renewed interest in the history of the Cold War. The time is right for new, objective assessments of the confrontation that shaped so much of the last century, for in it there are lessons for our own. Western, predominantly Anglo-American concepts of sea power have so dominated theory and practise that they have become accepted in the West almost without question. Sergei Gorshkov showed that there is always an alternative perspective. 21st Century Gorshkov is a collection of writing by one of the twentieth century’s most revered naval figures. Articles, many of which have not previously been published in English, sit alongside notable passages from his more famous books, each with a short introduction linking the work to the challenges facing navies everywhere today. Planners from Washington, DC to Beijing, London to New Delhi have much to learn from the man behind the most rapid naval expansion program in peacetime history. Gorshkov’s ideas on teamwork, ethos, naval ‘art’ and ‘science’, power and prosperity remain as relevant today as the day they were written.
Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century

«The Centre for Irish and Celtic Studies at the University of Ulster hosted at Coleraine, between the 24th and 26th August 2000, a very successful and informative conference on ‘Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century’. The lectures and the discussions were of a high standard, and it was the intention of the organisers to edit and publish the proceedings as soon as possible thereafter. Unfortunately, due to dif culties in assembling some of the papers, this was not possible and, consequently, publication has been delayed much longer than was originally anticipated. Despite this delay, we feel that those papers which we have received merit publication at this time, not only because of their intrinsicmerits, but also because they represent the views of the authors on their respective topics at the turn of the twenty rst century and will hopefully be of value to those interested in the state of the modern Celtic literatures.»

XXI век: исламский вызов. XXI Century: Islamic Challenge
Автор: Роберт Енгибарян
Год издания:
«Исламская цивилизация, в принципе отрицает независимость личности, ее индивидуальные права и свободы, жестко требует от своих приверженцев полного духовного и физического подчинения, восприятия ими ислама в качестве своей человеческой сущности. Реактивный количественный рост исламского населения, подстрекаемый Турцией, Саудовской Аравией, Пакистаном, Катаром и другими, их переселение в дряхлеющие европейские страны, с целью их постепенной исламизации, последние годы особенно усилился. Классическая схема этого процесса выглядит так. Сначала массовая миграция голодных молодых мужчин и женщин, детей, потом их консолидация вокруг мечетей, исламских школ и медресе, бурный количественный рост в новых в значительно более благоприятных условиях, обособленная жизнь в своих анклавах на средства, выделенные государством в качестве социальной помощи и строительство, посланные Турцией, Саудовской Аравией, Катаром и другими деньги, новых мечетей, натурализация и приобретение гражданства, создание подручной пятой колонны и политических партий, бесконечные стычки и требования для живущих по шариату неработающих мусульман новых социальных благ…»
