Features: This book is a memoir by P. N. Mostochkina. P. N. Mostochkina worked at the Kremlin Hospital from the 1950s to the 1980s, a facility that served the "special class." She had contacts with the families of Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Andropov, as well as with prominent writers, composers, and actors of the time, such as Sholokhov and Shostakovich. As a witness, this personal memoir offers a unique perspective for examining a special era and a group of extraordinary individuals. Today, the Kremlin Hospital no longer exists, and the Soviet Union has long disintegrated. The events that took place in the hospital have become history. Back then, it was shrouded in mystery, with big figures coming and going, and doctors walking on eggshells. But in the author's eyes, the big figures were not as towering as they seemed, and the beds revealed their human vulnerability and authenticity. Many little-known secrets were unveiled behind the scenes.
