About the book: year / On a damp evening, three cars stopped at the building of the Ministry of State Security. Hidden by the fog and darkness of the night, the generalissimo of the latest military history went up to the office of the Minister of State Security, Colonel General Abakumov. The importance of the issue he raised was a system of scientific design sealed with ten printed sheets and marked “top secret.” The second-rank commissar, taking into account his position and experience throughout the war, worked harder on it than Beria did on the atomic bomb. The development of the century awaited the highest signature. The weather of the empty streets of the capital inspired the Almighty of the country, a sad poetic mood, elevated fatigue, did not prevent his long-term habit of having the necessary concentration, when the interests of the state required his signature, it was his signature that created and preserved all the advances needed by the state. He himself, long ago turned into shackles and the vice of constant tension, was forced to carry an even, never-tiring world secret, behind which was hidden a small part of the universe, where freedom and truth, like a hammer and sickle, were anxiously bored in the corner of the red banner.
