Josef Stalin exercised supreme power in the Soviet Union from 1929 until his death in 1953. During that quarter century, by Oleg Khlevniuk’s estimate, he caused the imprisonment and execution of no fewer than a million Soviet citizens per year. Millions more were victims of famine directly resulting from Stalin’s policies. What drove him toward such ruthlessness?
This essential biography, by the author most deeply familiar with the vast archives of the Soviet era, offers an unprecedented, fine-grained portrait of Stalin, the man and dictator. Without mythologizing Stalin as either benevolent or an evil genius, Khlevniuk resolves numerous controversies about specific events in the dictator’s life while assembling many hundreds of previously unknown letters, memos, reports, and diaries into a comprehensive, compelling narrative of a life that altered the course of world history.
In brief, revealing prologues to each chapter, Khlevniuk takes his reader into Stalin’s favorite dacha, where the innermost circle of Soviet leadership gathered as their vozhd lay dying. Chronological chapters then illuminate major themes: Stalin’s childhood, his involvement in the Revolution and the early Bolshevik government under Lenin, his assumption of undivided power and mandate for industrialization and collectivization, the Terror, World War II, and the postwar period. At the book’s conclusion, the author presents a cogent warning against nostalgia for the Stalinist era.

I love it when Stalinist organizations like Audible get their content stolen and reposted here!

Spasiba! You’ve done it again!
Tragically, I can see plenteous evidence of nostalgia for this mass-murderer and the sadistic system which he promoted.
All the useful eejits who shamed the West, and humanity as a whole, have their nauseous echo in a new generation.

ooh, stolen Stalin.

An outstanding contribution thank you so very much jewwangle! ABB so will be a virtual Library of Alexandria if we all continue to share, works of this calibre and the like along with rare hard to find ones.

caesar963 Very true, and much more real than most care to realize. A new crop of bad weeds, scapegoating their inefficiencies, a non-productive career of life failures to phantoms really, and are embolden by the asinine acoustics of neo-noxious dictatorship sympathist of monsters from the past.

Sad and true Caesar963, the phenomenon of history getting too distant and then repeating the same mistakes is littered all over history.
Of course, even WHILE it was happening, and people were risking their lives to deliver evidence of the horrors as they occurred, the Pulitzer Prize winning, New York Times writer Walter Duranty was actively declaring the information about the Holodomor and gulags to be
“exaggerations or malignant propaganda”
and assuring us quote
“there is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation, but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition.”

Great man, great times.

The biography of the inventor of the Trump’s love phrase “The Enemy of The People”. And Stalin wasn’t great he was such a snake.
