On Wednesday, January 28, in a talk sponsored by the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, Princeton professor and Hoover fellow Stephen Kotkin discussed his newly published book Stalin, Volume 1: Paradoxes of Power, 1878–1928. Based on extensive research, the book is the first volume of his trilogy on the life and times of the Soviet dictator. Kotkin's biography focuses on Stalin's role in the Russian revolution and his subsequent rise to power within the Bolshevik hierarchy. It also situates Stalin's political career in the wider context of Russian and world history.

How I Created Acidchains: https://novaspire.wordpress.com/2016/...

Welcome, I am a leading Music Producer/Composer in Ottawa, Canada. I am known as Nova Spire I am located in the Nation's Capital, Ottawa, Canada. I have a home studio where I produce electronic music and big sound. I am constantly writing music, creating piano pieces, creating synth patches, electronic and organic.

I have been creating music on computer since the age of 13. I always had a passion for creating music, drones and noises, what have you, for the images that come to rise in the mind and on film. In the beginning of my journey, I would often take requests from friends of what they wanted to hear from me, stylistically. On occasion, offering remixes for friends as well.

Followed by sequences of events and mentors that had influenced my music life I have decided to delve further in musical composition. The idea of composing for film naturally came about and it was essentially an extension of what I have been doing for the greater period of my life without compensation in my early years.

In terms of style, I have a wide palate and can adjust according to demands. I come from a piano music background so I can deliver musicality with finesse but I am also keen on creating modern music, from Electronica, ambient, hip-hop to industrial. Genres are often good for providing reference to style, soothing like ambient, more urban with hip-hop or just harsh and aggressive with industrial. Variety has proven to be helpful for mixing and developing new ideas for new projects.

Here a some examples of different styles and approaches to music I create:

I am constantly perfecting my sound. Sometimes I aim to create something that I may use in future projects. For instance, I will do a music series based on mood or rhythm. In order to reflect mood for a future musical request. I probably have already written a piece of music which could be used for YOUR next project.

Through It All

Hoover research fellow Stephen Kotkin discusses Conquest’s revelatory work on life behind the Iron Curtain,  noting that Conquest definitively established the colossal scale of Soviet horrors, correctly identified their source in Marxist ideas and practices, and underscored the legions of Western dupes who retailed Soviet lies, beginning when Stalin was alive and decades thereafter.

Stephen Kotkin on Robert Conquest’s Conquering the Former Soviet Union

Stephen Kotkin's masterful biography of Joseph Stalin has a very keen analysis of the outbreak of the First World War.  I discuss some of the relevant points made.  We draw some general conclusions from these lessons.
