Мао Цзэдун

Mao Zedong is one of the most controversial figures in world history. A philosopher, an expert on Confucius, a poet whose poems amaze with their elegance, and at the same time a man who, with the ease of a capricious monarch, controlled the fate of entire nations. Hedonist, subtle intellectual - and politician, on whose conscience the nightmare of the `cultural revolution`. Mao Zedong is still considered a sublime genius and a gloomy villain, a fiery revolutionary and an inert dogmatist. Who was this man anyway? How did you live? How did he act? What did you feel? Have you heard about the famous quotation book that made "Comrade Mao" the master of the minds of millions of people around the world? Do you know anything about the secret intrigues and crimes of the great Chairman? Then this book is for you. Because both admirers and opponents should first of all know their teacher or opponent, especially if he is a downcast idol.
