Erstausgabe
First edition and 1 of 5000 copies published. Period boards. 4to, 136 pages. Folio. In Russian. "Jewish Massacre. 1918-1921." With numerous photographic illustrations. A detailed album highlighting the horrific results of a wave of ferocious pogroms afflicted upon Jewish communities in the Ukraine including Skvira (Skver) , Poltava, Uman, Kiev and Yelizavetgrad during the Civil War years of 1918-21. The text has a distinctly Nationalist element, portraying Jews saved from the attacking native population by the Red Army. The publication was issued by Z. S. Ostrovsky on behalf of the Jewish Committee for Aid to Victims of Pogroms. With well over 200 photos, this work is based on an exhibit of images and documents put together by the Jewish Committee of Victims of Pogroms which was shown in 1923 in Moscow. It's a brutal depiction of the third set of pogroms which swept in Russia from 1918 and 1921 in the wake of the Russian Revolution, much worse than the earlier massacres in the 1880s and then again in 1903-1906. This post-war set of pogroms were led by bands of soldiers from the disintegrating tsarist army. Ostrovsky's work doesn't state the fact that the first pogroms to be accompanied by slaughter of Jews were perpetrated by units of the Red Army which retreated from the Ukraine in the spring of 1918 before the German army. These pogroms took place under the slogan "Strike at the bourgeoisie and the Jews." The Jewish communities of Novgorod-Severski and Glukhov in northern Ukraine were the most severely affected. These pogroms reached their climax in the massacre at Proskurov on Feb. 15, 1919, when 1,700 Jews were done to death within a few hours. On the following day, a further 600 victims fell in the neighboring village of Felshtin (Gvardeiskoye). Those responsible for these pogroms went unpunished, and henceforward the Ukrainian soldiers considered themselves free to spill Jewish blood. The Jews regarded Simon Petlyura, the prime minister of the Ukraine and commander of its forces, as responsible for these pogroms. The general chaos which reigned in the Ukraine in 1919 resulted in the formation of large and small bands of peasants who fought against the Red Army. The Jews in the villages, shtetls, and towns there were constantly terrorized by the peasants, who extorted money and supplies from them or robbed and murdered them. One of the most notorious pogroms carried out by the peasant bands was that in Trostyanets in May 1919, when over 400 people lost their lives. In the fall of 1919, there was a wave of pogroms committed by the counterrevolutionary White Army, under the command of General A.I. Denikin. (credit: Klinebooks). See Z.

Softcover. Zustand: g to vg. Limited First edition. 1/5000. Folio (10 3/4 x 14 1/2"). 134, [2]pp. Original photo-illustrated wrappers, with silver lettering and decoration to covers. Decorative initials. Illustrated with no less than 219 photogravures, this work is based on an exhibition of documents and photographs organized by the Jewish Commitee of Victims of Pogroms, and held in Moscow in the summer of 1923. It is a gruesome photographic account of the third wave of pogroms which occurred in Russia between 1918 and 1921, far surpassing in scope and gravity the two previous outbreaks of the 1880s, and of 1903-1906. These attacks on the Jews were connected with the revolutions and the civil war which took place in Eastern Europe during this period. At the end of 1917, pogroms had already occurred in the villages and towns within proximity of the war front. They were headed by groups of soldiers from the disintegrating czarist army, and consisted of unruly acts against Jews (mainly looting). Many pogroms of this type occurred in the Ukraine after its short-lived declaration of independence in 1918. Ostrovsky's work does not mention that the first pogroms to be accompanied by slaughter of Jews were perpetrated by units of the Red Army which retreated from the Ukraine in the spring of 1918 before the German army. These pogroms took place under the slogan "Strike at the bourgeoisie and the Jews." The Jewish communities of Novgorod-Severski and Glukhov in northern Ukraine were the most severely affected. However, "after a short period of confusion, the Soviets adopted harsh measures against pogromists found in the ranks of the Red Army. In addition to a fundamental and comprehensive information campaign, severe penalities were imposed not only on guilty individuals, who were executed, but also on complete army units, which were disbanded after their men had attacked Jews. Even though pogroms were still perpetrated after this, mainly by Ukrainian units of the Red Army at the time of its retreat from Poland (1920), in general, the Jews regarded the units of the Red Army as the only force which was able and willing to defend them. In the spring of 1919, at the time of the retreat of the Ukrainian Army before the Red Army which occupied Kiev, units of the Ukrainian Army carried out organized military pogroms in Berdichev, Zhitomir, and other towns. These pogroms reached their climax in the massacre at Proskurov on Feb. 15, 1919, when 1,700 Jews were done to death within a few hours. On the following day, a further 600 victims fell in the neighboring townlet of Felshtin (Gvardeiskoye). Those responsible for these pogroms went unpunished, and henceforward the Ukrainian soldiers considered themselves free to spill Jewish blood. The Jews regarded Simon Petlyura, the prime minister of the Ukraine and commander of its forces, as responsible for these pogroms. The general chaos which reigned in the Ukraine in 1919 resulted in the formation of large and small bands of peasants who fought against the Red Army. The commanders (atamans) of these bands occasionally gained control of whole regions. The Jews in the villages, townlets, and towns there were constantly terrorized by the peasants, who extorted money ("contributions") and supplies from them or robbed and murdered them. These atamans included Angell, Kazakov, Kozyr-Zyrko, Struk, Volynets, Zeleny, Tutunik, and Shepel. The ataman Grigoryev, who in May 1919 seceded from the Red Army with his men, was responsible for pogroms in 40 communities and the deaths of about 6,000 Jews in the summer of 1919. He was killed by Ataman Makhno, who led a peasant rebellion in eastern Ukraine and endeavored to restrain his men from attacking the Jews. One of the most notorious pogroms carried out by the peasant bands was the one which occured in Trostyanets in May 1919, when over 400 people lost their lives. In the fall of 1919, there was a wave of pogroms committed by the counterrevolutionary White Army, under the command of General A.I. Denikin, in its advance from northern Caucasus into the heart of Russia. This army, which sought to restore the Czarist regime, proclaimed the slogan: "Strike at the Jews and save Russia." Its officers and soldiers made savage attacks on the Jews in every place which they occupied. The most sinister of these pogroms was in Fastov at the beginning of September 1919, in which about 1,500 Jewish men, women, and children were massacred. The soldiers of the White Army also perpetrated similar pogroms in other regions of Russia: in Siberia, where they were led by Admiral Kolchak and where the Cossack battalions of Baron R. Ungern-Sternberg gained notoriety for the systematic destruction of many communities in eastern Siberia and Mongolia; and in Belorussia, where Bulak-Balachowicz was in command in 1920. During 1920-21, when the Red Army gained control of Ukraine, the armed anti-Soviet bands still retained their full strength and the pogroms and brutalities against the Jews assumed a character of revenge, such as the massacre in Tetiev, in which about 4,000 Jews were put to death and the whole townlet was set on fire. The anti-Jewish movement set the total annihilation of the Jews as its objective and destroyed whole townlets. Only the military weakness of the attackers prevented a holocaust of Ukrainian Jewry. During this period of pogroms, Jewish self-defense organizations were formed in many places throughout the Ukraine. The "Jewish Militia for War against Pogroms" of Odessa was renowned; it prevented pogroms in the largest community of Ukraine. Such groups were created in many towns and townlets but they were not always capable of withstanding military units or large armed bands. It was only after the consolidation of the Soviet regime that they received its support and played an important role in the suppression of the armed counter-revolutionary movement. It is difficult to assess the scope of the pogroms during the civil war years and the number of victims they claimed. Partial dat.

Erstausgabe
20pp. 8vo. First Edition. First Edition. 20pp. 8vo. Tolstoy's most forceful essay puts forth a powerful moral vision for art as a necessary part of human experience. He began thinking about it when his daughter, Tanya, became a student at Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture in 1881. It took him fifteen years to write it, and was published nearly simultaneously in Russia and in England (translated by Alymer Maude, whose Tolstoy correspondence provides a good source for Tolstoy's battles with the censors in Russia). "His first effort in this direction, in 1882, left him entirely unconvinced. And over the next fifteen years, during various periods of time, he struggled with the subject, defining and redefining his position. In all his theorizing, however, one can detect a growing emphasis upon the ethical principle as the immanent organizing factor in the artistic process. And this view ultimately became the starting point for the aesthetic theory that he finally elaborated in What Is Art? The growing popularity of such movements as Decadence and Symbolism during the last decade of the nineteenth century offended both his artistic and his moral sense and provided him with a new impetus to finish his book on art. He worked almost exclusively on it through a large part of 1897 and finished it in December." (Simmons, Ernest, "Leo Tolstoy: The Later Years," The Atlantic, Aug. 1946). "What is art?" is one of Tolstoy's most important non-fiction works, a philosophical statement concerning the morality of art, and one of the most important and controversial aesthetic credos ever written. Bernard Shaw, in his review of this essay, says "Tolstoy's main point . . . is the establishment of his definition of art. It is, he says, 'an activity by means of which one man, having experienced a feeling, intentionally transmits it to others,'" and that "this book of his will not be valued for its specific criticisms, some of which, if truth be told, represent nothing but the inevitable obsolecence of an old man's taste in art." The final published version was actually relatively mild when compared with some of Tolstoy's diary entries on the subject of art of that period. But although his full fury was "mutilated by the censor, [when it] came out at the beginning of 1898, it aroused a storm of protest. Most artists were simply dismayed by this profession of faith by the most illustrious author in Russia, confusing art with pedagogy and talent with right-mindedness. . . . Tolstoy was not displeased by this commotion. If they were all shouting so loudly then he must have hit the mark" (Troyat, pp. 556-557).

Third Russian edition. Third Russian edition. In publisher's printed wrappers. 134 p. Tolstoy finished the novella in late 1889 and the story was recited for public in a friends publishing house, but it was obvious that the Russian censorship would not allow the story to be published. Only a few hundreds of clandestine mimeograph (hectograph) copies of the handwritten text were circulated in Russia. In 1890 the German publishing house the "Bibliographic Office in Berlin" (B. Berg) published the story first in four languages (Russian, German, French and English) simultaneously. The second Russian edition was published the same year and the third edition in 1891. Extremely rare and very early edition. . Spine with blue vignette, slight rubbed. Front cover creased at lower corner. Trace of white vignette on inner rear cover. Overall a good copy.

The book is unread, with pages uncut and un-opened. Issued by the state publishing house, this is the second edition of Russian revolutionary poet and author Demian Deny's (Yefim Alekseevich Pridvorov, 1883-1945) collection of satirical poetry. Images throughout by the author humorously depicts revolutionary and political topics with figures sometimes taking the form of fairytale animals. The b/w images here which often show dark, violent and adult topics, are juxtaposed with visual style that is often childlike and whimsical and/or symbolic. Most images are printed in woodblocks. Being a supporter of the Bolsheviks and the revolution, the topics of his ridicule and contempt here and in other works are the Tsarist regime, nobles, landowners, capitalists, the clergy and other members of the old order (hence the title), while supporting and allying with the perspective of the common people. This copy of the book has the ink stamp of Marcel Bekus (1888-1939), on the interior front cover. Bekus was a Russian anarchist revolutionary who took part in the Russian Revolution of 1905, and was subsequently imprisoned in Siberia. In the wake of the revolution in 1918, he was released from prison and moved to Paris. He later took part in the Spanish Civil war on the side of the Republicans, where he was killed in 1939. In 1985, years after his death, his library of publications and posters were uncovered by his grandson, and sold off. Text throughout in Russian.

Both women were members of the Russian aristocracy of the period. As stated opposite the title page, the work is dedicated to Russian children and features delightful b/w engraved illustrations throughout by French artist Georges Gimbel (George Gimbel, ca.1840- ca.1890). The final 8 pages contain sheet music for 9 songs (with musical notation, lyrics and illustration), some of which was composed by "E.N.

The 'Life of the Finnish Workers' was Kollontai's "major socio-economic investigation of the living and working condition of the Finnish workers and peasant in relation to industry". Her "first articles on Finnland appeared in 1900. For the next 20 years, she was generally recognized as the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party's (RSDLP) foremost expert on the 'Finnish question', writing numerous articles and serving as an advisor to RSDLP members in the Tsarist Duma and as a liaison with Finnish revolutionaries. She took a keen interest in the Finnish struggle for independence, (Kollontai's mother was from Finland), helped the Finnish workers to organize into trade unions and wrote articles about the struggle between the Finnish people and the the Russian autocracy. Well known for her sympathy for Finland, Kollontai urged the Finns to seek independence in 1917. [.]. The book attracted much attention among revolutionary circles and established her fame as noteworthy Marxist political economist and a respected expert in the working-class question."

Erstausgabe
Softcover. Zustand: vg to near fine. First edition. Quarto. 8pp. of text + 8 plates. Green printed wrappers with black lettering on the front cover. Pages un-opened. A scarce and obscure publication detailing the Jewish tombstones found at the archeological site of the ancient Greek city of Phangoria. The publication contains 8 pages of text followed by 8 plates of b/w illustrated figures, reproducing the content of the ancient graves. Founded circa 543 BC, Phangoria was located on the Taman Penninsula, in what is now Krasnodar Krai, in southern Russia, across the Strait of Kerch from Crimea. At its height, city served has the main and most important trading hub between the areas North of the Sea of Azov, and the areas on the southern coast of the Black Sea. Excavations at the site starting in the early 19th century revealed that the site contained a vast necropolis surrounding the city. Among the interesting revelations of these excavations, there appeared what were believed to be Jewish grave sites, dating to at least the first centuries AD. This is a striking reminder of the spread of Jewish people and culture around vast areas of the world, beyond the borders of Judea and the the eastern Mediterranean, providing important insight into this period of ancient Jewish history. There has been some doubt cast on the legitaimacy of these claims, in the years since. Text in Russian. Wrappers with minor rubbing to extremities, and a few small smudges to the front cover. Small ink stamp with pen markings of a previous owner on the back cover. Wrappers in very good, interior in near fine condition overall. Extremely scarce.

Erstausgabe
Softcover. Zustand: g to vg. First edition. Small quarto. 200pp. Tan paper wrappers, with black lettering on the front cover. This scarce Bulgarian publication, is comprised of a series of documents collected and assembled by Bulgarian-Jewish political figure Natan Grinberg (1903-1988), which provide evidence on the deportation of Jews from Thrace, Macedonia, and Pirot, to death camps, now known as the Dannecker-Belev Agreement. These three areas were annexed by Bulgaria in 1941, from Greece, and parts of Yugoslavia (now parts of Serbia and most of North Macedonia), with the assistance of Nazi Germany, with whom they were allied. Unlike Jews in Bulgaria proper, the Jews in these areas where not considered Bulgarian citizens and were ultimately given over to the Germans, per their 1943 request to be supplied with "20,000 Jewish captives". It is considered the only known agreement of its kind to have been official recorded, and agreed upon in this way, between the Nazis and governments of client or puppet states, during the war. Ultimately more than 11,000 Jews from these areas were handed over to the Nazis by Bulgarian authorities, where they were subsequently transported to Auschwitz and Trebrinka. Nearly all were killed. These actions were overseen by the leader of the anti-semitic Commissariat for Jewish Affairs in Bulgaria, Alexander Belev (1898-1944), and the head Nazi official in Bulgaria, SS-captain Theodor Dannecker (1913-1945). These documents where assembled shortly after the war, likely to preemptively provide evidence for prosecutors of People's Court, in charging individuals collaborating with the Nazis and fascists. It is an extremely early document of its kind to provide documents as evidence of the Holocaust directly following the war, and is of foundational importance for the study of the Holocaust in Bulgaria, and these areas. In the years since, these documents have not been widely publicized, as they tarnish the image of a country thought of as being comparatively merciful to its Jewish population during this infamous period. The material here includes text from more than 40 official Bulgarian governmental documents from the period, including correspondence and numerical tables, discussing all aspects of the operation, including the logistics and finances. The first text page contains introductory statements from the founder of the post-war Jewish Consistory of Bulgaria, Isaac Elizar Franaise. The final pages contain a facsimile reproduction of the typed 1943 document requesting for the transfer of 20,000 Jews, showing the signatures of Theodor Dannecker and Belev, six captioned b/w photographic reproductions and a table of contents. Text in Bulgarian. Wrappers rebacked with new spine and back cover. Front cover, with some stains, and a tear at the top right corner. Period ink stamp on the front cover. A light stain to the title page until page 15. Pages throughout age toned, with some light creasing at the top corners. Wrappers in good, interior in very good condition overall. Protected in modern mylar. A facsimile edition was finally published in 2015.

Softcover. Zustand: g to g+. First edition. Large octavo. [6], 121, [1], 41, [1]pp. Wrappers missing. In this detailed study, George Moses Price, a Russian-Jewish newspaper correspondant, analyzes the figures for the 1881 to 1891 Russian-Jewish migration following the pogroms of 1881 in the Pale of Settlement, a western region of Imperial Russia, in which permanent residency by Jews was allowed and beyond which Jewish permanent residency was generally prohibited. It extended from the eastern pale, or demarcation line, to the western Russian border with the Kingdom of Prussia (later the German Empire) and with Austria-Hungary. The Pale was first created by Catherine the Great in 1791, after several failed attempts by her predecessors, notably the Empress Elizabeth, to remove Jews from Russia entirely, unless they converted to Russian Orthodoxy, the state religion. Jewish life in the shtetls ("little towns") of the Pale of Settlement was hard and poverty-stricken. The concentration of Jews in the Pale made them easy targets for pogroms and anti-Jewish riots by the majority population. These, along with the repressive May Laws, often devastated whole communities. Though pogroms were staged throughout the existence of the Pale, particularly devastating attacks occurred between 1881-1883 and 1903-1906, targeting hundreds of communities, killing thousands of Jews. Although the concentration of pogroms in the southern region of the Pale might imply that the dominance of settlers from the South Pale was typical of Jewish migration in the early 1880s, this was not the case. Indeed, George Moses Price reveals that the Jewish immigration figures for the period of mass migration (1881-1891) indicate that most were from the North or Northwest Pale (areas hit most strongly by economic hardship). Wrappers missing. Age-toning along paper margin. Text in Russian. Pages in overall good to good+ condition.

Both 1st edition. Period boards, 8vo, 116 + 44 + 98 + [2] pages. In Hebrew with the names of places explained in Yiddish or Russian. Titles translate as, "A Journey In the Crimean Peninsula: Including My Travels in the Crimean Peninsula and the Landscape of Tiberias, From the Entrance of the Black Sea to the End of the Sea of Azov and the Nagaysk Steppe. And Their Political and Moral Situation" and "The Crimean War Book Containing All The Stories of the War . Which the Kings of the Alliance Fought Over he City Of Sevastopol in the Years 1853-54-55-56; Also . The History of the Land of this City from Before it was Founded Until This Day." Ephraim Deinard (1846-1930) "was a bookseller, bibliographer, publicist, polemicist, historian, memoirist, author, editor, and publisher. He produced some 70 volumes whose subjects range from Jewish history and antiquities (especially of the Crimea, Russia, America, and The Holy Land), to treatises against Hasidism, Christianity, and Communism, parodies, medieval and modern Hebrew literature, Jewish religion, and especially booklore. Deinard's antiquarian activities, which involved constant travel throughout Europe, the Orient, and America, gave him an acquaintance with scholars, private collectors, fellow booksellers, and libraries. He came into contact and conflict with numerous Hebrew writers and Jewish communal and political figures. His wide-ranging knowledge and experience are fully reflected in his own voluminous writings, mostly in Hebrew, produced over more than half a century. His scope of interests, the intensity of his sentiments, the acerbity of his remarks, all coupled with his bibliophily, render Deinard's works a source of contemporary Jewish historical and literary controversy, as seen in the margins of the Hebrew-reading world, before and after World War I. Deinard is remembered today as both a bookman and a prolific polemicist, two careers inextricably linked in his singular personality. Indeed, his works are devoted in large part to religious, political, and even bibliographical polemics. He attacked Hasidism and Christianity in equal measure, with plenty of bile left over for Communism, Reform Judaism, Kabbalah, Jewish apostates, and Karaism. Surviving copies of Deinard's many works are scattered in libraries around the globe. No library holds a complete set, and some of his books are exceedingly rare."
