    Where the Iron Crosses Grow: The Crimea 1941-44 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 808min
    The Crimea was one of the crucibles of the war on the Eastern Front, where first a Soviet and then a German army were surrounded, fought desperate battles, and were eventually destroyed. The fighting in the region was unusual for the Eastern Front in many ways, in that naval supply, amphibious landings, and naval evacuation played major roles, while both sides were also conducting ethnic cleansing as part of their strategy - the Germans eliminating the Jews and the Soviets purging the region of Tartars. From 1941, when the Soviets first created the Sevastopol fortified region, the Crimea was a focal point of the war in the East. German forces under the noted commander Manstein conquered the area in 1941-42, which was followed by two years of brutal colonization and occupation before the Soviet counteroffensive in 1944 destroyed the German 17th Army. ungekürzt.

    The Diaries Of Leo Tolstoy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 369min
    Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828 - 1910), usually known as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer, widely regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received many nominations for the Nobel Prize in literature and for Nobel Peace Prize. The fact that he never won is a major controversy. He was born into an aristocratic Russian family although he often struggled financially. He is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as the peak of realist fiction. He first came to literary acclaim in his 20s with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852–1856), along with Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based on his experiences in the Crimean War.   During the 1870s, Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, which led him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. This autobiography covers his youth from 1847 to 1852. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Kington. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/200043/bk_acx0_200043_sample.mp3.

    Passages on the Crimean War: The Crimean War Diary of Private Richard Barnham, 38th Regiment South Staffordshire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 132min
    In 1854, a quarter of a million British soldiers headed east to fight in the Crimean War. Together with their French and Turkish allies, the goal was to free the important port city of Sevastopol from the clutches of Russia, thus keeping them from the seizing control of the Red Sea and thence Mediterranean. This they did, but not without considerable hardship, suffering and loss of life - over 21,000 British men fell to enemy fire, accidents and disease. Many first-hand accounts of this war were penned by British officers, but there few were written by the common soldiers, as most were illiterate. As such, this account by Private Richard Barnham offers a rare insight into the daily lives of the soldiers serving in the Crimea. The passages he recorded during the war are not always an easy listen, as they detail many of the hardships of campaign life, the devastation of the cholera outbreak (which killed almost twice the number of those who died in battle) and the horrors of the military engagements. But Richard also gives great insight into the richness of the Crimean countryside and its people, together with the camaraderie of the soldiers themselves. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Intimate Empire (eBook, ePUB)
    After a humiliating defeat in the Crimean War, the Russian Empire struggled to reassert its position as a global power. A small noble family returned from the siege of Sevastopol and joined the rulers' efforts to advance Russian standing in the decades until 1917. Intimate Empire tells the story of the Mansurovs, who were known to nineteenth-century observers as resourceful imperial agents and staunch supporters of Orthodoxy. In close interplay with scholarship and the media, they built churches and pilgrim hostels to increase Russian dominance within its borders and in the Ottoman Empire. Some of the family's achievements stand to this day: the Russian complex in Jerusalem and an impressive Orthodox Convent in Riga. When the Revolution came, they faced stigmatization as former nobles, believers, and monarchists. Impoverishment and arrests became part of their daily lives in Soviet Russia. Intimate Empire is a study of the momentous role played by elite families in Russia's international involvement in the age of empire. It shows how three generations of a mobile noble family advanced the intertwined causes of the Russian Empire and Orthodoxy, using family resources and tools of intimacy. Women were crucial for the family's efforts, both behind the scenes and in public. It is the first monograph to examine the interplay between family and empire building in Russian history-a topic that has proven extraordinarily prolific for British imperial history yet remains virtually unexplored for the Russian case. Russia, Orthodoxy, and noble family life emerge as part of the European trans-imperial scene.
