Love Orlova. Life told by herself

She was called the "Icon of Soviet Cinema" and the "first" star "of the USSR." She was the face of the great era and her beloved actress Stalin. There were even rumors about the leader’s novel with Love Orlova... As it turned out, these were not rumors that she confirmed herself! Lyubov Petrovna decided to write about her relationship with Stalin after his body was taken out of the mausoleum, and the “exposure of the personality cult” grew into an information war against “Stalinism”. She just wanted to restore justice and tell the truth about her beloved... Of course, this book could not be published either in the USSR or in the West. But there was a country that retained a good memory of the leader and quarreled with the Kremlin precisely because of slander on Stalin. Lyubov Orlova’s memoirs, secretly transferred to the Chinese diplomat, were published in Beijing after her death. Only today this book finally returns to the Russian reader. This is a confession of not only the glorified “star” of Soviet cinema, but also a loving woman with whom Stalin allowed himself to drop the leader’s mask and be himself. This is an honest story about the "bright path" of the legendary actress and the entire Soviet state. This is the truth about Stalin and his great era.
