STEMMEN FRA UKRAINA Oksana Zabuzjko er en av Ukrainas aller viktigste forfattere og tenkere. Les hennes personlige og kruttsterke fortelling om Russlands invasjon av hjemlandet. Da Russland invaderte Ukraina 24. februar 2022, hadde forfatter Oksana Zabuzjko akkurat ankommet Polen for å promotere sin nyeste bok. Hun hadde pakket den lille reisevesken, for hun skulle bare være borte fra leilighet og ektemann i Kyiv i et par dager. Da ektemannen ringte for å fortelle hva som hadde skjedd, forandret alt seg. Reisen ble brått til et ufrivillig eksil - og nyhetene fra hjemlandet mer grusomme for hver dag. I «Min lengste reise» forteller Zabuzjko nært og gripende om sin egen opplevelse av invasjonen slik hendelsene utfoldet seg utover våren - men også skarpt analytisk om Russlands krigføring og det hun betrakter som Vestens feighet. Teksten gir rom for både medfølelse og innsikt, og er et viktig bidrag til forståelse for oss som sitter på utsiden - fra en stemme som kjenner historien fra innsiden.

Endelig er Ukrainas store forfatter Oksana Zabuzjko oversatt til norsk. Hennes hovedverk, den storslåtte romanen Museet for etterlatte hemmeligheter, er en familiesaga som spenner over seksti års ukrainsk historie - fra Stalin-tiden til Oransjerevolusjonen - og gir leseren en nøkkel til å forstå konflikten med Russland. I sentrum av fortellingen står journalisten Daryna. Hun kommer over et gammelt fotografi av Olena Dovgan, et medlem av den ukrainske opprørshæren, som ble drept av Stalins hemmelige politi i 1947. Fascinert av Olenas historie, bestemmer Daryna seg for å lage en dokumentarfilm om den ekstraordinære kvinnen - og med det åpner hun en dør til fortiden som skal komme til å forandre fremtiden.

Oksana Zabuzhko, celebrated author of the novels Field Work in Ukrainian Sex and Museum of Abandoned Secrets, gathers here her short fiction for the uninitiated. These stories have been widely translated and read, and they offer a magnificent perspective on Zabuzhko s illustrious writing career."

Den russiske filosofen Oksana Timofejeva presenterer i «Solens politikk» en filosofisk analyse av solen. Siden antikken har solen hatt en avgjørende betydning for vår utopiske forestillingsverden. Solen er i siste instans kilden til all energi, og dens uendelige gavmildhet kan brukes som modell for menneskelige samfunn og antyde et alternativ til den kapitalistiske økonomien med dens endeløse ekspansjon, kolonisering og katastrofale konsekvenser i en kosmisk skala. Men solen er også en ødeleggende kraft som er farlig og voldelig i sin suverene makt. Timofejeva viser hvordan den franske filosofen Georges Batailles teorier om solens Økonomi og solens vold er relevante for å forstå den verdenen vi lever i. Hun drøfter spørsmålet om vold og suverenitet i lys av tenkerne G. W. F. Hegel, Georges Sorel, Walter Benjamin og Frantz Fanon. «Hver progressiv protestbevegelse, hver generalstreik og hver ekte revolusjon er full av dette - solens guddommelige, luksuriøse og storartede element, som Platon assosierte med det høyeste gode.» (Fra boka)

Filmmakers in the early decades of the Soviet Union sought to create a cinematic map of the new state by portraying its land and peoples on screen. Such films created blueprints of the Soviet domain's scenic, cultural and ethnographic perimeters and brought together - in many ways disparate - nations under one umbrella. Categorised as kulturfilms, they served as experimental grounds for developing the cinematic formulae of a multiethnic, multinational Soviet identity. Screening Soviet Nationalities examines the non-fictional representations of Soviet borderlands from the Far North to the Northern Caucasus and Central Asia between 1925-1940. Beginning with Dziga Vertov and his vision of the Soviet space as a unified, multinational mosaic, Oksana Sarkisova rediscovers films by Vladimir Erofeev, Vladimir Shneiderov, Alexander Litvinov, Mikhail Slutskii, Amo Bek-Nazarov, Mikhail Kalatozov, Roman Karmen and other filmmakers who helped construct an image of Soviet ethnic diversity and left behind a lasting visual legacy.The book contributes to our understanding of changing ethnographic conventions of representation, looks at studies of diversity despite the homogenising ambitions of the Soviet project, and reexamines methods of blending reality and fiction as part of both ideological and educational agendas.Using a wealth of unexplored archival evidence from the Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive (RGAKFD) as well as the Gosfilmofond state film archive, Sarkisova examines constructions of exoticism, backwardness and Soviet-driven modernity through these remarkable and underexplored historical travelogues.

"Despite increasing attention towards Russias economy and capital market, corporate governance norms of Russian public firms are rarely analyzed. This project presents and interprets evidence regarding various governance practices followed by Russian firms covering almost the entire period of the existence of the Russian stock market. Its findings run counter to some widely held beliefs according to which Russia is a country with high resistance to corporate innovations due to socialist imprints. Part one of this two-volume study focuses on the role that boards of directors play in reducing intra-corporate agency conflicts. Russian companies have adopted progressive governance mechanisms including director independence, nationality and gender diversity on the board, dismissal of poorly performing CEOs, and cross-listing of companies on foreign markets with stringent reporting obligations. Some of these innovations have had notably positive impact on firms performances and market valuation. Others, such as nationality diversity on boards of directors, enhanced the image of Russian companies but made little contribution towards improving internal governance. Unresolved issues impeding further progress include limited liability of directors towards shareholders due to imperfections of the Russian legal system, a taboo on disclosures of executives compensations, and generally high risks of conducting business in Russia. Despite impressive improvements in internal practices, Russian firms still have a long way to go to achieve the governance levels of their peers in developed countries. "
