Herkunft

Leuchtende Farben und einfache, geometische Muster – dafür werden Kelims auf der ganzen Welt geliebt. Kelims (auch Kilim, Qilim) wurden traditionell nur für den Eigengebrauch hergestellt. Nomaden und Bauern benutzten und benutzen ihre Kelims als Teppiche auf dem Boden, aber auch als Zelt- oder Wandbehänge, Decken, Kissen oder Taschen. Weil Kelims im Alltag ständige Begleiter waren, tragen die Muster – mögen sie auch naiv wirken – immer eine persönliche Botschaft und haben eine Bedeutung für die Weber und ihre Familien.

In Europa sind insbesondere Kelims aus der Türkei, dem Kaukasusgebiet, dem Iran, Afghanistan und dem turkmenischen Kulturraum bekannt und beliebt. Tatsächlich werden in allen Ländern in denen Teppiche geknüpft werden auch Teppiche handgewebt.

Muster

Die abstrakte, geometrische Komposition macht die schlichte Eleganz dieses Kelims aus. Das Muster schmeichelt der Gestaltung des Raumes und nimmt den Möbeln, der Dekoration und den architektonischen Element nicht die Aufmerksamkeit. Es fügt sich fantastisch in jede Umgebung ein und ergänzt die Einrichtung eines Raumes auf subtile Weise.

Die Oberfläche dieses Kelims wirkt meliert. Die Farbtonänderungen und Hell-Dunkel-Schattierungen des Florgarns lassen die Farben schimmern und machen den Teppich unempfindlich gegenüber Verschmutzungen. Der Teppich wirkt wegen diesen sogenannten Farbsprünge Abrasch lebendiger. Die Melierung entsteht, weil die Wolle dieses Kelim handgesponnenen wurde. Beim Einfärben werden die natürlichen Farbstoffe unterschiedlich aufgenommen.

Im Muster dieses Kelims stechen insbesondere die Rauten hervor. Rauten sind ein auf einer Spitze stehender Rhombus, dessen vier gleiche Seiten im Orientteppich gezackt, abgesteppt oder mit Haken besetzt sein können. Die Raute gehört zu den ältesten Grundformen im Orientteppich. Sie hat in der islamischen Welt eine symbolischen Bedeutung: Sie versinnbildlich die Unsterblichkeit der Seele. Daher ist sie sehr häufig als Füllmotiv anzutreffen.

Den Rand dieses Teppichs ziert eine angedeutete Bordüre.

Der Hintergrund dieses Kelims ist Beige. Der Rand ist in den Farben Beige und Schwarz gestaltet.

Material

Kelims werden handgewebt und bestehen nur aus Kett- und Schuss-Fäden, haben also keinen dicken, nach oben ausgerichteten Flor. Kelims haben auf beiden Seiten das gleiche Muster und sind daher beidseitig nutzbar. Die Musterung entsteht durch die farbigen Schussfäden, die in die Kettfäden gewebt werden. Für jede neue Farbe muss in jeder Reihe ein neuer Faden benutzt werden. Die Fadenenden werden mit eingearbeitet.

Die Schuss-Fäden dieses Kelim Teppichs bestehen aus handgesponnener, mit Pflanzenfarben gefärbter Schafwolle. Vor dem Weben des Teppichs wurden dafür zunächst Schafe geschoren und die Wolle anschließend gereinigt, gekämmt und schließlich gesponnen. Nach dem Spinnen wird die Wolle der Kelim Teppiche in einem aufwendigen Prozess mit Naturfarben gefärbt. Der Flor der Kelim Teppiche wirkt wegen dieses traditionellen Verfahrens trocken und leicht pelzig. Die Kett-Fäden dieses Kelims bestehen aus Baumwolle.

P O W E R F U L .
Format: Paperback
The author summarized: "The ghost of the disappeared Soviet Union ... still haunts the imagination of contemporaries .... This amazing story teaches us not to trust in the seeming certainty of continuity and should help us prepare for sudden shocks in the future" (p. 439). An engrossing in-depth eloquent analyses concerning the events and individuals affecting the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union. Moreover, the unforeseen Chernobyl nuclear disaster on April 26, 1986, crystallized the horrors of a possible nuclear war. Thus, a new orientation to end the exorbitant arms race with the United States. Further, General Secretary Gorbachev promulgated new reforms, including, relaxing travel restrictions in 1989: "... [T]he shock that thousands of Soviet people experienced when they crossed Soviet borders and visited Western countries .... For first-time Soviet travelers to the West a visit to a supermarket produced the biggest effect. The contrast between half-empty, gloomy Soviet food stores and glittering Western palaces with an abundant selection of food was mind-boggling.... This experience changed Soviet travelers forever" (p. 82). At times, repetitive and somewhat confusing. For instance, U.S. President Bush needed Gorbachev's approval for his Iraq offense, which was initially described on Page 143, then inexplicably again, on Page 172. On another occasion, the author indicated that Yeltsin was influenced by Alexander Solzhenitsyn's brochure "How To Rebuild Russia," on Page 150, which is again repeated, on Page 173. Scrupulous editing needed. Notwithstanding such glitches, nonetheless, a fascinating detailed portrayal of the unexpected implosion of a superpower. Having read other books on the subject, if I had to select only ONE about the USSR collapse, I would choose this as the best.

Thought Provoking
Format: Kindle
I bought this book after I heard the author on a podcast. Growing up in the US we have been inundated with the story that the collapse of the Soviet Union was an inevitable triumph of liberal, Western values. I had my doubts. Even poorly run dictatorships can muddle along for years. What the author did was center Gorbachev in the story. He was the eye of the storm. It was the terrible combination of Gorbachev’s ambitious idealism and gross ineptitude that led to the dismantling of the Soviet Union. Unlike much of Marxist historical narratives which emphasize the forces of history; the author shows that it’s individuals who shape events and are shaped by them. A different person than Gorbachev could have turned the tide in a different direction and left us a different world than we have today. This is a history book that teaches lessons not just about the Soviet Union but about human history in general.

A compelling account of the fall of the USSR
Format: Kindle
Zubok describes blow by blow the series of decisions that sent the USSR towards disaster. Gorbachev, widely hated in Russia, comes across as principled but indecisive, ignorant of economics, and incapable of translating his worship of Lenin into coherent action. The book reads like a thriller despite the density of facts. Zubok is a pessimist, but his thesis is convincing.

Fascinating, an against the grain account of the perestroika era
Format: Kindle
Gorbachev is hailed as a hero in the West but the book tells the story of a meek, naive individual that precipitated the fall of the Soviet Union creating suffering and an a!most unprecedented calamity.

A masterfully falsified history of the late Soviet developments
Format: Paperback
This book represents academic propaganda, providing some interesting insights into important events. Some details are true, but some crucial details are omitted. It represents a sanitized version of Russia's modern history. It provides misleading information about Gorbachev's constitutional reforms, aimed at partitioning of 15 republics into 53 confederation entities. Originally, the targeted republics were Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, etc. Those conflicts were manufactured by the Soviet center to discredit "nationalists," facilitate the partition of national republics, and grant Moscow right to protect ethnic minorities. According to Starovoitova, Bakatin, Yakovlev, and a few other primary sources, the Soviet security services led special operations in the Caucasus and Central Asia to provoke those conflicts. Zubok avoids citing those parts. Using the imperial approach of "divide and rule," Moscow attempted to become a peacekeeper in the conflicts it created between different ethnicity. In addition to fragmenting the republics with well-developed national identities, Gorbachev's new constitution would revoke their right to leave the USSR, written in Lenin's 1922 Constitution (Shakhnazarov, 1992). Zubok does not explain any of it. His book is an effort to protect the truth and conceal facts with Russian myths and lies about nationalism (also referred to as Nazism). Notably, Zubok does not recognize non-Russian republics and describes them as "territories." He mentions Pitsunda as a resort on the Black Sea, not as Georgia. For lying about the genocidal ethnic cleansing conducted by the Russian military against the Georgian population of Abkhazia, Zubok owes apology to the victims of conflicts and wars initiated by Gorbachev and carried on by Yeltsin. The story about "the hardliners coup against Gorbachev" is also a big fat lie. American scholars, Amy Knight, John Dunlop, and William Odom provide more accurate insights. For Russian sources, read Marshal Shaposhnikov or Aleksandr Lebed's memoirs (1995) and listen to Gennady Yanaev's interview (2009). According to Mitrokhin archives (original), the August 1991 coup was an active measure the KGB developed per Gorbachev's request. The so-called coup was part of Gorbachev's constitutional reform, which would lead to the removal of unfriendly leaders (including Yeltsin) from the republics. It failed because the Soviet military brass, foremost Pavel Grachev, had defected to Yeltsin earlier in 1991. When you read a book by a seasoned Russian propagandist, like Zubok or Trenin, take it with a grain of salt, because it will always contain a mix of lies and truth.
