Summary/Abstract |
A LOT IS KNOWN about the Great Patriotic War. However, its history is still being written as new documents are emerging from declassified archives, as well as the memoirs of its participants. There is a certain gap between classic academic research involving thoroughly checked facts, verifications, assessments, and evaluations, on the one hand, and naturally emotional publications (memoirs) devoted to specific events and written by war veterans, on the other. One such work is a book by Vasily Ivanovich Kolotusha, a well-known diplomat, Arabic studies expert, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, entitled "Detention Camp Unknown... Place of Burial, Wlodomierz."

Summary/Abstract |
THE VERY TITLE of Roman Silantiev's book Musulmanskaia diplomatia v Rossii. Istoria i sovremennost* (Muslim Diplomacy in Russia: Past and Present) causes surprise or even an inner protest: it looks as if the author has moved away from diplomacy as a foreign policy instrument to look at it as an art of tactfulness. In anticipation, the author has introduced the book with his own interpretation of the trends of Muslim diplomacy; he refers to the relationships with the Muslims in other countries and with followers of other Muslim trends and other religions as well as with political and public organizations. The second out of five types of relationships - "relationships with the authorities of their own (non-Islamic) state and with authorities of other countries" - intensifies the feeling of protest. This makes the book to look somehow undiplomatic on the domestic scene.
