Why is Stalin, not Trotsky, Zinoviev or Bukharin, came out of the winner from the fight for leadership in the party? What did he strive for, what did he achieve all his life? Is it only uncontrolled power? Did he hide his plans, goals, or did he act openly? How was the hardware struggle inside the team of Stalin himself? What was the true back of the "Stalinist repressions"? What reforms in the USSR did he try to carry out - successfully and unsuccessfully? Why were the most important materials about the activities of Joseph Stalin, revealed in the perestroika years, were again classified in 1996? Could Stalin be the only and sovereign creator of Soviet history throughout the segment from 1922 to 1953? To whom is the mythologization of the figure of Stalin beneficial?
