Last battle of Lavrenty Beria: Elena Prudnikova

Here is a book written in the rare genre of a political detective. Its action begins on June 26, 1953, on the day when a coup d’etat occurred in the Soviet Union. The novel of the famous St. Petersburg journalist and writer Elena Prudnikova is dedicated to that period and the person who is also narrated by the historical work of the author. The time of action is the 30th – 50s of the twentieth century, which are called the “Stalinist time”, the main character is Lavrenty Beria, the successor of Stalin, who was killed by the conspirators a hundred days after the beginning of his reign. The historical concept of the author is shocking unusual, but … extremely convincing. We recommend that you read this book to those who are not indifferent to the history of your Fatherland. The interpretation of historical events given by E. Prudnikova is so different from the one to which we are accustomed, that after reading the novel you feel not even shock, but rather a feeling, as from a blow to the head. In the author’s version, all the devils become angels, and quite decent people are criminals. …
