Stalin has been a dictator for so long that most historians considered the officials surrounding him ordinary agreements and elements of political decor. This book disputes such an idea, showing that behind Stalin there was a group of loyal people who made an unusually effective team with him from the late 1920s to his death in 1953. Based on extensive original research, Sheila Fitzpatrick offers the first detailed description of the participants in this inner circle and their families. She shows that these loyal associates - Beria, Andreev, Khrushchev - not only worked closely with Stalin, but also constituted his social environment. Conducting readers from the cataclysms of “large purges” and the Second World War to the paranoia of the last years of Stalin’s life, the book draws a completely new portrait of Stalin in his environment, changing our understanding of how the Soviet Union was ruled throughout its existence
