Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War, a state leader who turned our country into a superpower... Interest in Stalin's personality not only does not diminish, on the contrary, it is increasingly discussed in the media space with each passing year. However, it is almost impossible to find serious, balanced assessments of the activities of a man who left an indelible mark on the history of Russia. The real Joseph Stalin and his era have been completely hidden from us behind a fence of idle speculation and blatant myths. A bestseller by a well-known historian and journalist impartially debunks the most common and topical myths about the Stalinist era.
How did Stalin actually come to lead the USSR? What were the true goals of collectivization and industrialization? How did the NKVD become an all-powerful agency and how did the concept of "Enemy of the People" appear in Soviet criminal law? What exactly led to the creation of the main anti-brand of our country - the Gulag? Did the "Tukhachevsky Conspiracy" actually exist, and does Stalin have a personal connection to the execution of Polish officers in Katyn? What secrets does the legendary 1944 assassination attempt on the Soviet leader still hold? What is the true history behind the famous film "The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed" about the gang "Black Cat"? Was Victory Day celebrated in Stalin's USSR? Finally, what are the real numbers of victims of the Stalinist era and what is the main mystery surrounding the death of the Leader?
