Intelligence and the Kremlin. Memories of a dangerous witness

Pavel Sudoplatov is one of those few scouts who are rightfully called legendary. The range of tasks completed by him was extremely wide. Starting from the organization of the liquidation of Lev Trotsky, who lived in Mexico and ending with an imitation of Moscow's interest in separate negotiations with Berlin in the fall of 1941. Fate ordered that by the time of the completion of the writing of this book, Pavel Sudoplatov, one of the leaders of independent centers of military and foreign policy intelligence of the Soviet Union, remained the only witness and direct participant in the confrontation of special services and zigzags in the Kremlin’s domestic and foreign policy in the period 1930-1950. Despite the repressions in the pre -war and post -war years, Pavel Sudoplatov, who was in conclusion of 15 years, due to a bizarre combination of circumstances and undoubted luck, managed to survive and record a number of memoirs associated with the contradictory and tragic development of the events of that time.
