Beer for Stalin. Essays, conversations, thoughts

This book presents selected journalistic works created by the writer only in the last quarter century. Of course, there were a great many of them. But this collection includes mainly unusual stories from a very recent past, which were printed in central federal publications. Many of them were published in newspapers with multimillion -dollar circulations, others were published in popular magazines. Conversations, essays, sketches, articles - there were different ways for the presentation of materials, but they were all in demand and had a great public outcry. And there is no doubt - their absolute majority will never become obsolete, because they are interesting, because after reading them you will always learn something new. They are emotionally expressive and fascinating, absolutely reliable and still continue to worry people and respond to the requests of society, and not serve, as the great Balzac wrote, with a sweet dessert, which can be dispensed with. In favor of this argument, the fact that the writer’s sharp mind was able not only to talentedly analyze and state him what he saw, but also detain the outgoing moments, opening the veil of sensational events and political secrets. The shadows of the recent past - with its rulers, idols, kind and evil geniuses, gray cardinals - will appear before you. And the intrigues of the past years, which then twisted the heroes of these journalistic works, were so strong that their echoes are also felt in our days
