King
of Odessa: A Novel by Robert A. Rosenstone (256
pages)
(Available

Review on Amazon.com:
"Rosenstone takes on the daunting task of imagining
the life of Soviet writer Isaac
Babel, whose literary reputation was lost/destroyed
during the Soviet regime's darkest and most repressive
days. In this fictitious re-creation of Babel's
return to his hometown before being arrested and
executed as a spy, Rosenstone creates the possibility
that Babel was actually involved in a plot to help
political dissidents flee. This is a tragic cautionary
tale, a must-read for those interested in the genre."

The Greeks of Odessa Diaspora
Leadership in Late Imperial Russia
by John Athanasios Mazis (160 pages)
www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/catalog/data/088033/0880335459.HTM
(Available
at Amazon.com for $40.00, Click here)
This book examines the activities
of the Greeks of South Russia during the Imperial
era by focusing on the Greek Benevolent Association
of Odessa (GBAO). Odessa had the largest concentration
of urban Greeks in the Russian empire, and the Greeks
enjoyed economic and social prestige. While the
stated goals of the GBAO were charitable, many of
the organization's activities were nevertheless
political. Because of the wealth and power of the
GBAO, and its failure to openly antagonize the tsarist
regime, the GBAO was able to avoid the most onerous
provisions of the russification laws being pursuing
by the government during the Imperial era.
