Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2004-08-01
Features: Stalin was not only a leader but also an autocratic dictator. Under the guise of the cult of personality surrounding this ruthless autocrat, there was an ordinary man skilled in thinking and strategizing, with a strong will. He worked diligently and possessed a certain level of knowledge, making him an undeniable patriotic figure in historical terms. In this sense, Stalin can still be considered an "unknown" figure. The authors have a large number of recently declassified archival materials and related new books in the book, analyzing a series of events that have not been discussed in detail in many other biographies of Stalin, breaking free from the old stereotypes people had formed about him. It should be said that this book is of great reference value for understanding and researching Stalin, as well as for understanding and researching Soviet history. As for the authors' views, readers are expected to make their own judgments and evaluations based on their own understanding of Soviet history.
