Stalin. After the war. Book One. 1945-1948. Starikov N.V.

Stalin, no doubt, stands among the greatest historical figures. However, despite the lasting interest of researchers, in his biography there are periods that are little -known to the reader. First of all, the post -war. By the scale of the tasks, it is quite comparable to industrialization and is hardly less dramatic. And in terms of the scale of political decisions, it far exceeds all previous ones, since from now on the USSR was superpower, and the whole world followed the actions of Stalin. He was struck by the Stalinist "Economic Miracle" and Stalinist monetary reform, Stalin's skyscrapers and Stalinist prizes. His political steps looked no less mysterious. Why did Stalin withdrew troops from Iran and not landed in Japan? How did he act during the Berlin crisis? Because of what he quarreled with Tito and why did he “present” Poland Rokossovsky? What are the real reasons for the “Aviators' Affairs” and how were modern aviation and rocket science born? How did the leader communicate with cultural figures and why was Boris Pasternak adored him? About this and much more - in the book of the historian of the publicist, public figure Nikolai Starikov.
