Discover the profound insights of 'The Tragedy of Property,' a captivating exploration of Russian political culture through the lens of private ownership. Authored by Maxim Trudolyubov and published by John Wiley & Sons in 2018, this brand new hardcover book examines the unique relationship between property and power in Russia. Unlike in many Western societies where private property serves as a shield against government intervention, Russian history reveals property as a state control tool. Through vivid historical analysis, Trudolyubov highlights how Nineteenth-century liberals dismissed property rights, viewing them as a remnant of serfdom and aristocracy. After the revolutionary upheaval of 1917, property ownership transformed, especially with mass housing's rise in the 1960s, as citizens sought their own space amidst state control.

With 220 pages of rich illustrations and compelling narratives, this book is essential for anyone interested in Russian history, political culture, and property rights. It's perfect for readers who want to understand the complexities of ownership in a post-Soviet context, including why many Russian entrepreneurs choose offshore investments. Experience an enlightening journey through Russia’s tumultuous past and see how property continues to shape the nation's identity.

Description:
Russian novels, poetry and ballet put the country squarely in the European family of cultures and yet there is something different about this country, especially in terms of its political culture. What makes Russia different? Maxim Trudolyubov uses private property as a lens to highlight the most important features that distinguish Russia as a political culture. In many Western societies, private property has acted as the private individual™s bulwark against the state; in Russia, by contrast, it has mostly been used by the authorities as a governance tool. Nineteenth-century Russian liberals did not consider property rights to be one of the civil causes worthy of defending. Property was associated with serfdom, and even after the emancipation of the serfs the institution of property was still seen as an attribute of retrograde aristocracy and oppressive government. It was something to be destroyed “ and indeed it was, in 1917. Ironically, it was the Soviet Union that, with the arrival of mass housing in the 1960s, gave the concept of private ownership a good name. After forced collectivization and mass urbanization, people were yearning for a space of their own. The collapse of the Soviet ideology allowed property to be called property, but not all properties were equal. You could own a flat but not an oil company, which could be property on paper but not in reality. This is why most Russian entrepreneurs register their businesses in offshore jurisdictions and park their money abroad.This fresh and highly original perspective on Russian history will be of great interest to anyone who wants

Very good product
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
I purchased these to wear inside lowcut slip on casual shoes, I don't particularly like to not wear socks in my shoes for hygienic reasons. Prior to purchasing these socks, all I could find were those made of very light beige hosiery type material , and my slip on shoes would slide around a bit. These are light weight and breathable athletic type material, with a very good gripper strip at the heel. One pair of my slip on casual shoes have a particularly lower cut in the toe area, but the shoe is black and I chose the black color and though I see a hint of the sock there, it matches and does not detract from the look of the casual solid black shoe

They stay out! No more sock wads!
Size: Medium, Color: (100) White / White / Mod Gray
Best no show socks ever made!!!!! I've been struggling for 2 years to find ones that actually stay on your foot, even other national brands, and I just became content wearing my sneakers without socks. They ALWAYS slid down into my show & I ended up walking on a wad of sock until I could fix it...or usually just took them off after a couple of tries. Enter Under Armor!!! They a mid weight, but not very thick & still breathable. They work too by actually staying on your foot! Not once have they slid down into my show!! Very comfortable but they could be a little more affordable.
