Revealing the historical inevitability of the socialist revolution in our country, the author proves that Nikolai Starikov’s version is not only unfounded, but also unpatriotic, since it represents both the Russian people and their political elite as stupid and corrupt cattle , unable to independently decide their fate. The book contains a huge number of interesting and little-known facts, written in excellent language. It is understandable even to those who have not read the works of N.V. Starikov.

Balaev, occurred in 1953 and led to the restoration of capitalism in the USSR and the subsequent collapse of the country.
