No matter how much blame the “personality cult”, but in Russia, as in the USSR, too much depends on the first person of the state. As he calls him – the leader of the people, the general secretary or president – the authorities are too used to living “in Korolevsky”, according to the principle: “The state is me.”
From Lenin and Stalin to Putin and Medvedev – this book traces the fate of all the owners of the Kremlin over the last century, among whom were geniuses and villains, revolutionaries and filter, bold reformers and emptys. This is a group portrait of the Kremlin leaders, whose comparative biographies shed light on the most forbidden pages of history and the most protected “palace secrets”, allowing you to look behind the curtains of great politics, at the holy holy authorities.
