Features: Based on a wealth of documentary evidence and firsthand accounts, Yemelianov unravels the mysteries surrounding Stalin's life and career. Stripping away the historical froth of the successive deification and demonization campaigns surrounding Stalin, he presents us with a real Stalin. Why did Ordzhonikidze commit suicide? Why was Kirov assassinated? What were the real causes of the Soviet internal political struggles of the 1930s? What role did Stalin play in the Soviet leadership before and during the Great Patriotic War? The real answers to all these questions can be found in this book. This is the second volume of a two-part series on Stalin.
