The roots of the Stalinist Bolshevism. Nerve nerve of Russian history

The book "The Roots of the Stalinist Bolshevism" is a bold attempt to figure out the stormy ups and downs of our history, which, as a result, led to the breakdown of the state system in Russia in 1917. Alexander Pyzhikov connects their causes with the confessional split of the second half of the 17th century, which formed a different (latent) lifestyle and thoughts of more than a million Russians, known to us as the Old Believers.
What is the basis of the author’s statement that the old -faith is the nerve of Russian history? How is this due to the Stalinist Bolshevism? What were agitprop battles for the minds of ordinary people? What role did Soviet writers play in it? What was the struggle for power in the USSR at all? How and why do its consequences affect today?
On the pages of the book, real portraits of participants in key historical and cultural events pop up, links to their memories, works and archival documents are given. The book is addressed to the widest circle of readers
