On the ways to thermidor. The customs of the highest Soviet leadership. Basy G.

The book of a Soviet diplomat, a former adviser to the embassy in Paris, who later cooperated closely with special services, was published once in 1997 and has long become a bibliographic rarity. The memoirs of the Versiavsky, published for the first time in 1930, talk about the activities of Soviet diplomacy and special services in the 1920s, the customs of the highest Soviet leadership. Much attention was paid to the confrontation of various groups in the NKID, as well as the rivalry of the OGPU, military intelligence and agents of the Comintern.
