East Meets West

The Russia-Ukraine war once more brings into focus the transformations of the former Russian empire: Romanov rule was followed by Bolshevik politics, and after a period of post-communist consolidation, we now see the imperial renaissance under Putin. Ukraine is the victim of the resurgent thrusts of Russian imperialism. This package presents the many faces of the empire from the tsarist era to recent upheavals. In addition to the Russian core, the fifty books also extends into the outer circles of the imperial remit.

The books in this package are shown below, or you can click on this icon to download the list of titles, authors, ISBN and year of publication in .xls format.

Membership is for a minimum of three years.

Shown in table are annual fees in EUR (Euro, €) / GBP (Pound Sterling, £) / USD (US Dollars, $), excluding VAT.

Due to rising publication costs, a 5% annual increase has been applied for annual payments. The slight annual rise in membership fees reflects rising inflation rates alongside rising production costs for publishers globally. The renewed fees allow us to continue to use membership revenue solely to produce new OA monographs, moving towards an affordable, sustainable model for the future of academic publishing. And while the rises are around 5%, in real terms they are no more than a rise of around $20 to $100 a year.

If you would like to prepay your entire 3 year subscription, please let us know. The 3 year prepayment option benefits from a fixed annual price with no price increase during the 3-year term.
