About the book: 2004 / Book by historian V.E. Molodyakov - the first major study on the history of the concept of the “continental bloc” of Germany, the USSR and Japan and efforts to implement it. At the turn of 1940-1941. The “continental bloc”, as Haushofer, Ribbentrop and Siratori envisioned it, was possible. Moreover, it is possible due to not the “conspiracy of dictators” and especially not the “unity of totalitarian ideologies,” but due to the commonality of global geopolitical interests of the three strongest countries of Eurasia. Why did the “axis” fail and who is to blame for this? First of all, Hitler - he remained faithful to the Atlanticist and Russophobic sentiments of his youth, which were skillfully fueled by interested people both in Germany itself and beyond its borders... This study is, according to the author, not the last word on the history of the failed “Axis” Berlin -Moscow-Tokyo, but above all “food for thought”“.
