Control: Book One A desperate divorcee on the hunt for some no-strings kinky fun. A brooding, sexy billionaire with a penchant for manipulation and mind games... What could possibly go wrong? Brother of the fiercest crime lord in Fair Haven, Vadim Gorgoshev has survived horrors most men couldn’t imagine in their nightmares—and he’s learned to thrive in the chaos. But the master of control meets his match when a fiery redhead crosses his path. Will the obsessive Vadim maintain the upper hand or will the reckless Tiffany turn his world upside down? Corrupt: Book Two With Vadim’s control stretched to its breaking point, he aims to turn the tables by enacting Tiffany’s wildest fantasies—whether she wants him to or not. The harder she finds it to resist him, the more she becomes swept into his growing family, forced to reassess her previous boundaries. But when Vadim’s past comes back to haunt him, the chaos threatens to ignite their budding relationship… And destroy it for good. Conquer: Book Three When a ghost from Vadim’s past returns to haunt him, he resorts to his worst instincts—putting his relationship with Tiffany to the test. With no end to his paranoia in sight, Tiffany is forced to decide once and for all whether to conquer their shared demons together... Or protect her heart by walking away for good. Vadim’s trilogy can be enjoyed without first reading Maxim’s trilogy or read as a continuation to Maxim's series.

Social Syndicate Rejects A Dark Mafia Suspense Romance - Book 1 Vadim was the second born but his brother believed in equality… of power and responsibility. Vadim, his sister, Vanya, and the eldest, Arian, leaders of the Guzun Bratva, ruled Moldova as a team. Sabira Kovalyova How the hell I ended up on the plane of the very man I conned must have been fate’s attempt at humor. Believe me, I wasn’t amused when I recognized Vadim Guzun, the most feared of Bratva Leaders in the EU. Except I refused to back down. He got me into trouble, he will damn well help me escape the hounds hunting me… he had no choice. Not with my gun against his head! Vadim Guzun If there was one thing I abhorred, it was to have my authority mocked. The little Koval Bratva chit did just that by stealing my latest gun consignment. When I find her, she would realize the Guzun family took those who overstepped the Thieves’ Code seriously. How nice of her then to stow away on my plane, placing her right where I wanted her… under my power… or body, whichever would give me the most pleasure. Retribution always came with a price. Something the seductive little Bratva realized when I conceded to her demand for protection. Of course, as a gentleman I conceded; as a ruthless mafioso I offered her the only choice I was prepared to give… her freedom or her life. Except there were larger problems at play that threatened the Guzun Bratva's authority. Now, all bets were off. Those who dared rise against the most feared Mafia group in the EU, would soon realize they made an error in judgement... or die trying.

Entering the shady world of what he calls "violent entrepreneurship," Vadim Volkov explores the economic uses of violence and coercion in Russia in the 1990s. Violence has played, he shows, a crucial role in creating the institutions of a new market economy. The core of his work is competition among so-called violence-managing agencies—criminal groups, private security services, private protection companies, and informal protective agencies associated with the state—which multiplied with the liberal reforms of the early 1990s. This competition provides an unusual window on the dynamics of state formation.Violent Entrepreneurs is remarkable for its research. Volkov conducted numerous interviews with members of criminal groups, heads of protection companies, law enforcement employees, and businesspeople. He bases his findings on journalistic and anecdotal evidence as well as on his own personal observation. Volkov investigates the making of violence-prone groups in sports clubs (particularly martial arts clubs), associations for veterans of the Soviet—Afghan war, ethnic gangs, and regionally based social groups, and he traces the changes in their activities across the decade. Some groups wore state uniforms and others did not, but all of their members spoke and acted essentially the same and were engaged in the same activities: intimidation, protection, information gathering, dispute management, contract enforcement, and taxation. Each group controlled the same resource—organized violence.

The first major study by a Russian Marxist Historian of the Stalinist purges which are often collectively reffered to by the year they reached their greatest intensity: 1937. Rogovin shows that the purges were aimed at the physical annihilation of the growing socialist opposition to Stalin's bureaucratic regime. Focused on Leon Trotsky and his thousands of supporters, the purges were a blow against the October Revolution, its leaders and its heritage.

During the Soviet years, Russian science was touted as one of the greatest successes of the regime. Russian science was considered to be equal, if not superior, to that of the wealthy western nations. The Perversion of Knowledge, a history of Soviet science that focuses on its control by the KGB and the Communist Party, reveals the dark side of this glittering achievement. Based on the author's firsthand experience as a Soviet scientist, and drawing on extensive Russian language sources not easily available to the Western reader, the book includes shocking new information on biomedical experimentation on humans as well as an examination of the pernicious effects of Trofim Lysenko's pseudo-biology. Also included are many poignant case histories of those who collaborated and those who managed to resist, focusing on the moral choices and consequences. The text is accompanied by the author's own translations of key archival materials, making this work an essential resource for all those with a serious interest in Russian history.

Operational Amplifier Speed and Accuracy Improvement proposes a new methodology for the design of analog integrated circuits. The usefulness of this methodology is demonstrated through the design of an operational amplifier. This methodology consists of the following iterative steps: description of the circuit functionality at a high level of abstraction using signal flow graphs; equivalent transformations and modifications of the graph to the form where all important parameters are controlled by dedicated feedback loops; and implementation of the structure using a library of elementary cells. Operational Amplifier Speed and Accuracy Improvement shows how to choose structures and design circuits which improve an operational amplifier's important parameters such as speed to power ratio, open loop gain, common-mode voltage rejection ratio, and power supply rejection ratio. The same approach is used to design clamps and limiting circuits which improve the performance of the amplifier outside of its linear operating region, such as slew rate enhancement, output short circuit current limitation, and input overload recovery.

Transurfing Reality was one of the top non-fiction bestsellers in the world in 2005 and 2006. Unknown till now in the West, the series has sold over 1,300,000 copies in Russia in three years. This translation (by Natasha Micharina) describes a new way of looking at reality, indeed of creating it. It provides a scientific explanation of the laws that help you do this, building up a scientific model, speaking in detail about particular rules to follow and giving important how-to tips, illustrated with examples. The author introduces a system of specific terms, notions, and metaphors, which together make a truly convincing, thought-provoking theory of creating your own life. “You are ruled by circumstances and it will always be like that until you learn how to manage your reality,” says the author. Bringing together the cutting edge of modern science and philosophical teaching, the book's style is popular-scientific, metaphorical and conversational. Books in the series: Reality Transurfing 1: The Space of Variations; Reality Transurfing 2: A Rustle of Morning Stars; Reality Transurfing 3: Forward to the Past; Reality Transurfing 4: Ruling Reality; Reality Transurfing 5: Apples Fall to the Sky
