Andropov. Chekist at the head of state. Semanov S.N.

Yuri Andropov was the first head of state security (chairman of the KGB of the USSR) to take the post of head of our country. A special style of Andropov’s leadership allows us to talk about the “Chekist in power”; It is not surprising that there are many white spots in the activities and biographies to this day. How did this insignificant nomenclature flew into the Kremlin height? He fought with the West - and in his soul adored the Western lifestyle? Finally, did the author of this book Sergey Semanov hid from everyone his family and children during the years of Andropov, the editor -in -chief of the magazine “Man and the Law”. This journal published materials from investigations on corruption in the highest echelons of power. In the end, Semanov was called to the KGB and soon removed from the post of editor -in -chief.

In his book, he collected huge documentary material about the life and activities of Yu. V. Andropov, the most hidden head of the secret police and the state in world history.
