Красная площадь (L)

The plot of the popular detective novel by E. Topol and F. Neznansky "Red Square" is based on real events, namely, the suicide of one of Brezhnev's court generals, which at that time made a sensation and gave rise to all sorts of rumors and legends. The authors, by no means hearsay those who are familiar with the intricacies of political consequences in the USSR put forward the version that the general was killed by an interested nomenklatura group.

From a historical and documentary point of view, this is fiction, but from an artistic point of view, this is true even more real than reality itself: intrigues, provocations, corruption, enmity between different departments of the state apparatus, courtship, competition in obsequiousness - all this stems from the very essence of communism, and fanfares, banners and newspaper editorials are just a facade covering the inside - like a brick wall on Red Square For decades, it was a facade covering up the crimes of the Kremlin leaders.
