Stalin After the War: The Main Points

That Stalin is the greatest historical figure is no longer denied even by ardent Russophobes and lovers of distorting the history of the USSR. Yet, far from all moments of the leader's life are still understood and convincingly explained by historians. The two-volume work «Stalin. After the War», which instantly became a bestseller with a total circulation of 35,000 copies, has been creatively reworked by the author and combined into one book. Here are gathered the most important, fateful pages of Joseph Vissarionovich's life in the post-war years - from 1945 to 1953. The author explores mysterious events that are not easy to explain. Against the backdrop of Western hostility – the leader's last attempts to establish good neighborliness. With the obvious threat of a new world war – a delicate diplomatic game to divert attention in Korea. The production of an own bomb – under the nuclear blackmail of the West. Desperate attempts to keep Tito from adventures – during the explosive Balkan crisis. And, of course, the mysterious death of the Master in the midst of the struggle for Stalin's legacy. The book offers a completely unexpected perspective on the end of the Stalin era.
