The Liquidator (novel)
''The Liquidator'' (1964) was the first novel written by John Gardner and the first novel in his Boysie Oakes series. After publishing his autobiographical account of alcoholism ''Spin the Bottle'', Gardner decided to write a thriller, which he later described as "a pretentious piece of rubbish about how governments went around legally killing people". When he sent the first four chapters to his literary agent, the latter summoned him to London and told him the book was "truly dreadful"; but went on to suggest that as he had "made a hash of drama", perhaps he should try his hand at comedy. Inspired by the James Bond series of Ian Fleming novels and films, Gardner wrote his book with the character of Brian "Boysie" Oakes as an anti-Bond. The success of the novel led to several more in the series, and interest from MGM in a Boysie Oakes film series, with only '' The Liquidator'' made in 1965 with Rod Taylor as Boysie. One of Gardner's Boysie Oakes short stories "A Handful of R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chernobyl Liquidators
Chernobyl liquidators were the civil and military personnel who were called upon to deal with the consequences of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the Soviet Union on the site of the event. The liquidators are widely credited with limiting both the immediate and long-term damage from the disaster. Surviving liquidators are qualified for significant social benefits due to their veteran status. Many liquidators were praised as heroes by the Soviet Government and the press, while some struggled for years to have their participation officially recognized. Name The colloquial term "liquidator" ( ua, ліквідатор, be, ліквідатар, russian: ликвида́тор, ''likvidator'') originates from the Soviet official definition "участник ликвидации последствий аварии на Чернобыльской АЭС" (''uchastnik likvidatsii'' ''posledstviy avarii na Chernobylʹskoy AES'', literally "participant in liquidation of the C ...

The Bolshevik faction followed Vladimir Lenin, and organised a separate party, the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party, aka Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks), in 1912. After the October Revolution of November 1917 it became the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks). * Mensheviks formed from the 1903 split with the Bolsheviks; the Mensheviks followed Julius Martov. With the formal severing of ties in 1912, the Mensheviks used the name Russian Social Democratic Party (Mensheviks), or sometimes without the qualifier. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the majority supporting the war ("Defencists") maintained control of the RSDLP(M) under Fyodor Dan ...
