A specialist on Ukraine, Russia, and the USSR, and on nationalism, revolutions, empires, and theory, he is the author of 10 books of nonfiction,  and a contributor of dozens of articles to academic and policy journals, newspaper op-ed pages, and magazines.

Dr. Alexander Motyl is a scholar and an artist. By day he is a professor of political science at Rutgers-Newark.

He also has a weekly blog, “Ukraine’s Orange Blues.”

SWEET SNOW is set in the Ukraine in the winter of 1933. While a terrible famine rages in the countryside, the secret police are arresting suspected spies in the cities. A German aristocrat from Prussia, a Jewish communist from New York, a Polish diplomat from Lviv, and a Ukrainian nationalist from Vienna come to share a cell. As they are being transported, their van overturns and they are freed - to wander amidst the devastated villages, desolate landscapes, and frozen corpses. As they struggle to survive, they come to grips with the horror of the famine as well as with their own delusions, weaknesses, and mortality. 

A native New Yorker, Motyl received his doctoral degree in political science, master of philosophy in political science, and master of international affairs from Columbia University. He earned his bachelor of arts in history from Columbia College.

The price of the book: $18.00.
