"Корсары кайзера" - прославленные немецкие рейдеры Первой Мировой вписали в историю морских войн одну из самых запоминающихся страниц.
С 1914 года Германия оказалась в условиях жесточайшей морской блокады против нее была обращена объединенная морская мощь Великобритании, Франции, Италии, Японии, России, а позднее и Соединенных Штатов. Однако, несмотря на неравенство сил, немецкий флот смог нанести противнику серьезные потери. В этой морской войне особенно отличились германские крейсера-рейдеры. Действу в одиночку, не имея ни баз, ни союзников, ни регулярного снабжения, они раз за разом переигрывали своих более сильных противников, нанося чувствительный урон их торговле и престижу.
Под командованием капитана Мюллера легендарный крейсер "Эмден" захватил уничтожил 23 вражеских парохода. На счету капитана легкого крейсера "Карлсруэ" Келера 17 вражеских судов. Капитан Нергер, командовавший вспомогательным крейсером "Вольф", записал на свой счет 27 побед... Эти "рекорды" "корсаров кайзера" так и остались непревзойденными, а читать об их приключениях во враждебных водах не менее увлекательно, чем о похождениях легендарных пиратов парусной эпохи.

"Russia has a fun drink that can't already be" - so said the great Prince of Kiev Vladimir Svyatoslavich in 988 to the invitation to accept Islam, which forbade the consumption of strong alcoholic drinks. Since then this phrase has often served as an argument in favor of debates over primordial Russian drinking traditions and "Russian spirit" with his prowess and immensity.
On the basis of medieval Chronicles and acts, official documents and testimonies of contemporaries, statistics, journalism, data press and literature the authors show, where, how and what our ancestors drank; as developed in Russian drinking tradition; what was "drinking policy" of the state and how to respond to her subjects - from ancient times to recent times.

The book of famous Moscow historians addressed to the General reader, as the subject in varying degrees, affects a large portion of the Russian population.

О короле Артуре, непобедимом вожде бриттов, на Туманном Альбионе было сложено немало героических баллад. Он успешно противостоял завоевателям-саксам, учредил рыцарский орден Круглого стола, за которым все были равны между собой.

The book Seeds Resnick is true and dramatic story of the Jews in Russia and their persecutors. Those who dumped on them the sins of the first tsarist and then Soviet rule, and dumped into the abyss and them, themselves and the country. In 2003, the publishing house "Zaharov" released a book by S. Resnick "Together or apart?", covering mainly the pre-revolutionary period. The new edition is twice as larger in volume - the narrative is brought down to the present day.

This book is not so much an analysis of the novels of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "two Hundred years together", how many concurrent reading of the history of Russia, with an attempt to determine the actual position of the Jews and the so-called Jewish question. If A. Solzhenitsyn attracts mostly Jewish sources, mainly secondary (proceedings of the "Jewish encyclopedia", publicistic works and memoirs mostly minor parties), S. Reznik is based on documents-primary sources, evidence of the higher ranks of the tsarist and Soviet administration, the direct participants in the events, in some cases, on special works of historians.

Although controversy with Solzhenitsyn runs through the narrative, the book is not limited thereto: it is much deeper and wider.

В конце августа 68-го - через несколько дней после оккупации Чехословакии войсками Варшавского пакта - Солженицын и Сахаров решили как-то объединить свои усилия для содержательного протеста, который могли бы поддержать наиболее известные представители интеллигенции. Так начиналось то общее, что было в судьбах этих столь разных людей: писателя и ученого, ставших весьма значимыми личностями в политике и идеологии.
