About the book: 2010 / Harsh criticism of militant anti-Sovietism, uniting many Russian nationalists with the most inveterate liberals. Discussion of the most pressing and painful issues of Russian history. Is there any reason to declare the 1917 revolution “the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century”, and the policies of the Bolsheviks as “genocide of the Russian people”? Who were the Russians in the USSR - “victims of the communist regime” or the backbone of the Empire, the object of monstrous experiments or creators of the future? Are researchers right when they call Russians “the main victims” of Soviet power? Was state Russophobia an accidental excess or the essence of the “red project”? Should the Stalin era be considered a time of national humiliation and “travelling” or the pinnacle of Russian history??
