Seminar, hero -lover, terrorist, poet, meteorologist, pirate, hunter – and this is far from all the guise of Stalin, who has not yet become a tyrant. Did a ruthless dictator always doze in it, capable of destroying millions of people? Why did he the choice of history fell? How did contemporaries who were not afraid of Stalin see Stalin? To answer these questions, the British historian Simon Sebag Montefiore found unique archival documents and restored the pre -October period of the life of the Soviet leader, carefully fixing every step towards the Kremlin throne.
The book “Young Stalin” Montefiore, exciting, balanced and largely unexpected, caused a wide reader’s response and became a world bestseller. She adds important features to the portrait created by the author in the previous biography – “Stalin. Dvor of the Red Monarch.”
