À propos de cet audio

 Of all the despots of our time, Joseph Stalin lasted the longest and wielded the greatest power, and his secrets have been the most jealously guarded - even after his death.

In this book, the first to draw from recently released archives, Robert Conquest gives us Stalin as a child and student; as a revolutionary and communist theoretician; as a political animal skilled in amassing power and absolutely ruthless in maintaining it. He presents the landmarks of Stalin's rule: the clash with Lenin; collectivization; the Great Terror; the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Nazi-Soviet war; the anti-Semitic campaign that preceded his death; and the legacy he left behind.

Distilling a lifetime's study, weaving detail, analysis, and research, Conquest has given us an extraordinarily powerful narrative of this incredible figure.

The reality of the stalinist years was that there was one man in the center and moving parts around him. That made much of the book hard to follow. But without memorizing any names, we can still understand the levels of evil, madness, and stupidity of the system and its people. The last chapter includes a philosophical analysis that even I could understand. So I liked that.

This book was published at the end of the Soviet era, so it's missing an analysis of the effects on the post-Soviet years. I don't hold this against the writer, just understand that there may be some content lacking as Russia has changed.

Excellent portrait of a ludicrous time
