This is a book about why a world war became inevitable. How did fascism gain strength in Europe? Why did the Soviet policy of collective security in Europe fail? Was the USSR involved in the formation of the Nazi Wehrmacht? What was the role of Stalin in the successes and miscalculations of the foreign policy of the USSR in those years? The author of the book, Doctor of Historical Sciences, contemporary and researcher of the described period, tells about the events of the pre-war years, based on declassified documents and historical works of the last decade.
