Features: This book is part of the "Bai Nian Chao" series of premium publications. It takes the Soviet Union as a starting point and uses recently declassified Soviet archives and other valuable materials to reveal a series of major events that occurred in specific historical contexts, as well as the little-known behind-the-scenes secrets of these events, which are shocking to read. The book also provides detailed accounts of the behind-the-scenes story of Khrushchev's report on Stalin at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, as well as the political ups and downs of Soviet Marshal Zhukov. Additionally, the Cold War that lasted between the United States and the Soviet Union for half a century after World War II, the nuclear standoff in the Caribbean during the 1960s over the "Cuban Missile Crisis," which nearly plunged humanity into the abyss of nuclear war; the tense and thrilling shadow of the Korean War; the rise and fall of the "Red Khmer"—all of these can be found in the book.
