Stalin. Zhizn' i smert' [Stalin. Life and Death]

Hundreds of books have been written about Stalin, millions of pages. But there is one oddity: in all literary works, Stalin as a person is overshadowed by Stalin as a politician (memoirs of his colleagues, relatives and even his daughter - without exception). We know almost nothing about his thoughts and feelings, standing at the top of a huge pyramid of power, which he himself created. Edward Radzinsky approaches this Stalin phenomenon by analyzing the personal qualities of the so-called red tsar, creating a three-dimensional figure, with all his advantages and disadvantages.
