Between 1934 and 1941 Stalin unleashed what came to be known as "The Great Terror" against millions of Soviet citizens. This book is a study of how ordinary Russians experienced life during this period. Sarah Davies' study uses NKVD and Party reports, letters and other evidence to show that, despite propaganda and repression, the people continued to criticize Stalin and the Soviet regime, and complain about particular policies. This book sheds light on a hugely important part of Russia's social, political and cultural history.

Checking Out Me History by John Agard: Context and Poem

Do you know a great girl? A wild girl, a free girl? A happy as can be girl? As this fresh, funny take on girl power attests, being a girl is all about being whoever you want to be. A girl can be athletic or artistic, thoughtful or silly or bold. And she can be just as fierce painting a mural as climbing a mountain. With an energetic rhyming text and luminous illustrations that showcase the diversity of girls at work and play, this is a book to make any girl happy just to be herself, and makes a perfect gift for a favourite girl, whether little or all grown up.

Drawing on declassified material from Stalin’s personal archive, this is the first systematic attempt to analyze how Stalin saw his world—both the Soviet system he was trying to build and its wider international context. Stalin rarely left his offices and viewed the world largely through the prism of verbal and written reports, meetings, articles, letters, and books. Analyzing these materials, Sarah Davies and James Harris provide a new understanding of Stalin’s thought process and leadership style and explore not only his perceptions and misperceptions of the world but the consequences of these perceptions and misperceptions.

Dictating the Soviet Order

Stalin's World

The figure of Joseph Stalin has always provoked heated and often polarized debate. The recent declassification of a substantial portion of Stalin's archive has made possible this fundamental new assessment of the Soviet leader. In this groundbreaking 2005 study, leading international experts challenge many assumptions about Stalin from his early life in Georgia to the Cold War years with contributions ranging across the political, economic, social, cultural, ideological and international history of the Stalin era. The volume provides a deeper understanding of the nature of Stalin's power and of the role of ideas in his politics, presenting a more complex and nuanced image of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. This study is without precedent in the field of Russian history and will prove invaluable reading for students of Stalin and Stalinism.

Never Again

This book walks you through the journey of becoming a clinical psychologist, from the very moment you start your psychology undergraduate degree all the way to completing your clinical doctorate training. No filters, this book covers the highs and lows of this career journey, the reality of the competition you face, and the level of work demanded from you. Personal reflections and recommendations are shared throughout the book with the intention of helping you improve yourself both professionally and personally. Validation and advice is given around how to work effectively and efficiently in clinical, research, and academic settings. Given this is a 'people' industry and we work alongside others, I reflect upon how to manage difficult interpersonal dynamics with colleagues, peers, and supervisors, navigating your way around toxic interactions in order to preserve your sense of self and allow you to work to the best of your abilities. I provide consideration and recommendations for those who are involved in dictating the process of becoming a clinical psychologist in the hope that they would recognise the flaws and gaps within the system, moving them to support those who wish to pursue this career. Furthermore, I speak frankly about your need to prioritise and protect your personal wellbeing as it is constantly at risk of being injured by the process of becoming a clinical psychologist itself. Afterall, if you don't have your personal wellbeing, you will have nothing.
