Dimitrij Antonovič Volkogonov Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

In den sieben Jahrzehnten ihres Bestehens wurde die Sowjetunion von sieben Männern regiert, die nachhaltig und auf unterschiedliche Weise die Weltgeschichte prägten. Der russische Historiker Dimitri Wolkogonow zeigt in seinem letzten Werk die Wahrheit hinter den Kulissen der kommunistischen Herrschaft in Russland. Er kannte die letzten vier Herrscher persönlich und hatte darüber hinaus als Militärberater Jelzins Zugang zu den Archiven der Roten Armee sowie Einblick in Geheimdokumente der kommunistischen Partei und in geheime Präsidentschaftsakten.

A former general in the Soviet Army's propaganda department, Director of the Institute for Military History, and Defence Adviser to President Yeltsin from 1991 to his death from cancer in December 1995, Dmitri Volkogonov had unrivalled access to Soviet military archives, Communist Party documents and secret presidential files. Basing this book on these inside sources, he reveals the truth behind the activities of the world's most secretive political leaders. He throws new light on: Lenin's paranoia about foreigners in Russia; his creation of a privileged system for top Party members; Stalin's repression of the nationalities and his singular conduct of foreign policy; the origins and conduct of the Korean War; Khrushchev's relationship with the odious secret service chief Beria; Brezhnev's vanity and stupidity; the Afghan War; Poland and Solidarity; Soviet bureaucracy; and Gorbachev's Leninism and role in history.

This is a biography of Leon Trotsky, a dominating figure of the Russian Revolution. He was largely responsible for building the Red Army, and advocated the system of state terror which was ultimately to lead to the nightmare of Stalinism.

Vše o Leninovi - fakta. Přeloženo z anglického vydání (Lenin. A new biography) ruského originálu.

Traces the life of the Soviet leader, uses the secret Soviet archives to reveal new information, and argues that Lenin set in motion many of the worst excesses of the state later expanded by Stalin

The author had an incredible access to secret KGB files in his role as historian for the Soviet Army. This book, the first of a trilogy written by Volkogonov on Stalin, Lenin, and Trotsky, takes advantage of the author's discoveries to reveal much heretofore unknown knowledge about Stalin's reign of terror in the early days of the Soviet Union.
