    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    Autobiographical novelAuthor: Alexander KuprinTitle: Junkera (Junkers).Publisher: Editions et librairie «La Renaissance» (Vozrojdenie), Paris, 1933First russian edition328 pagesLanguage: Russian In May 1916 in the newspaper "Evening News" was placed Kuprina interview, talked about his future plans: "... I began to hunt for the end of" junkers ", - informed the writer - this novel is a kind of continuation of my own story" At the turn (Cadets). " Here I am all in the power of images and memories cadet life with her front and inner life, with quiet joy of first love and meetings at dance parties with their "likes." Remember cadet years tradition of our military schools, types of caregivers and teachers. And I remember a lot of good ... I hope that this fall will release this story to light. " (M. Petrov, Y AIKuprin, "Evening News", 1916, May 3, № 973). The revolutionary events in Russia and the subsequent emigration stopped work on a novel writer. Only in 1928, five years before the publication of the novel as a book, in the newspaper "Renaissance" appear some of its chapters. Two years later, in "Renaissance" were printed a few more chapters. Separate edition of the novel was published only in 1933. В мае 1916 года в газете «Вечерние известия» было помещено интервью Куприна, рассказавшего о своих творческих планах: «... с охотой я принялся за окончание «Юнкеров», — сообщал писатель, — повесть эта представляет собой отчасти продолжение моей же повести «На переломе (Кадеты)». Здесь я весь во власти образов и воспоминаний юнкерской жизни с ее парадною и внутреннюю жизнью, с тихой радостью первой любви и встреч на танцевальных вечерах со своими «симпатиями». Вспоминаю юнкерские годы, традиции нашей военной школы, типы воспитателей и учителей. И помнится много хорошего ... Надеюсь, что осенью текущего года выпущу эту повесть в свет». (Петров М., У А.И. Куприна, «Вечерние известия», 1916, 3 мая, №973). Революционные события в России и последовавшая затем эмиграция прервали работу писателя над романом. Только в 1928 году, за пять лет до издания романа отдельной книгой, в газете «Возрождения» появляются отдельные его главы. Двумя годами позже  в «Возрождении» были напечатаны еще несколько глав. Отдельным изданием роман вышел только в 1933 году.

(Historical information).  Language: Russian  Binding: In a composite owner's quality binding of the era  Published: Prague 1922.  Pages: 304   Condition: good   In the book the author writes: "Deliberately ignoring the personal life of Grigory Rasputin and completely bypassing the intimate aspects of it that have become a byword, in my book "Rasputin and Russia" I cite only those facts that are directly or indirectly related, as proof of his influence on matters of purely national significance, which, I think, is more clearly revealed this bulky figure of Russian pre-revolutionary modernity, the figure that brought the last stone to strengthen the autocracy, the stone that crushed the entire structure, carefully constructed for centuries, gaps and cracks of which, completely unnoticed by the builders, and eventually led to disaster. The entire book "Rasputin in Russia", from the biography of Rasputin, his appearance on the socio-political horizon to the moment of his murder - all these data are nothing more than a chronicle of the seven-year Rasputin era, a chronicle that has now become historical.".
