Stalin. The Life of a Leader
19.99 €
The debate over Stalin's sole role in the mass repressions against his own population unleashed in the 1930s, known as the "Great Terror," has raged for decades. Oleg Khlevnyuk's book will be of interest to those seeking answers to this and other questions: was there a different path for the country that leaped from monarchy to socialism? Was it a coincidence that absolute power fell to one man, and could it have been limited? What was Stalin's role in the defeats and victories of the Great Patriotic War? Unlike authors who try to whitewash Stalin or seek an easy way to the reader's heart by cherry-picking piquant details, Khlevnyuk creates a comprehensive, detailed, and accurate portrait of the country and its leader. A world-renowned scholar, the author relies exclusively on verified sources and demonstrates that facts are more compelling and eloquent than any fiction. Oleg Khlevnyuk is a Doctor of Historical Sciences, a leading researcher at the International Center for the History and Sociology of World War II and Its Consequences at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, and a chief specialist at the State Archives of the Russian Federation.
