Bohemian Games
Boris Mogilevsky
$16.00
Boris Mogilevsky author of the “Notes of an Antiques Swindler”, presents a unique view into the lives and history of Leningrad’s Bohemia in the 1950-70.
Mogilevsky is the proverbial Fly on the Wall! His studio became the vortex and haven for the Bohemian elite, where authors, ballet dancers, composers and actors found themselves an unofficial “speak-easy” where each person could be trusted not to inform on each other to the KGB.
Each and every personality of these memoirs was a part of this inner circle and Mogilevky knew them all. Among these prominent literati’s were Victor Louis, Aleksandr Vertinsky, the royalist Shulgin, Igor Belsky, Alexander Shlepyanov, Vladimir Kunin and many others.
The book is enriched by many photos from the author’s archive.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword: Battling with Soviet Propaganda
Lev Shapiro
The Pen is Mightier than the Sword: Battling with Soviet Propaganda presents a new window into the struggle of Soviet Jews for their freedoms and rights. This was an intellectual barricade at which the activists, utilizing Soviet law, regulations and the Constitution itself, safeguarded meaningful tidbits of freedom within the Soviet totalitarian system.
Each chapter of this Exodus should be read and reread in each generation. Shapiro was not merely another Jewish activist, but was one of its leaders and the only witness for the defense at the famous trial of the “hijackers of the airplane”.

My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem (bilingual)
Grigory Rasputin
Hundreds of books have been written about Rasputin, but very few people know that Rasputin himself authored a book. My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem was written as a gift for Tsar Nicholas II in 1915, in a print run of only 50 copies.
There are few figures in history to whom so much research has been devoted; and about whom so much media, including biographies, memoirs, novels, films and even an opera, have been created, than the Siberian “wise man” Grigory Rasputin (1869-1916).
