About the book: 2015 / Joseph Stalin. The most controversial ruler of Russia. A man who single-handedly ruled the USSR for almost three decades. A dictator who took the country with a plow and returned with an atomic bomb. A terrorist and robber in his youth, a god for atheist communists in his old age. The Generalissimo who won the war after almost losing it at first. A leader who lived by one formula: the end justifies the means. A Georgian who called himself part of the Russian people. He was loved to madness, and hated just as desperately. And even now this personality leaves no one indifferent.
