Кузькина мать Хроника великого десятилетия

A new sensational version of our political and military history, destroying the usual ideas and myths about the driving forces and causes of key events in the mid-twentieth century. Putting the well-known and little-known facts and events of those years into a single mosaic, the author talks about the true causes of the Berlin and Caribbean crises, which official propaganda, politicians and historians in Russia and abroad are silent about. These events were the culmination of the second half of the 20th century, a turning point and predetermined the historical fate of the Soviet Union and communist ideology, the subsequent collapse of the USSR and the triumph of capitalist economies and the free market.


This is a book about how the leadership of the USSR, headed by Nikita Khrushchev, trying to preserve the "cause of Lenin", tried to achieve what Stalin had in mind, but could not achieve during the Second World War - to fan the fire of the World Revolution and, under the guise of communist ideology, achieve world domination. This is a book about political intrigues and struggle for power, about the confrontation between two superpowers and their secret services, about covert intelligence operations and about people who pushed humanity to destruction and saved it.

The book contains more than 150 photographs, including including unique archival photographs published in Russia for the first time.

80 inserts with illustrations.
