Leonid Brežnev ja tema "kuldne ajajärk"

Was there a secret, a mystery in Brezhnev's personality and actions? Yes, it probably was. No one has yet answered the question of how a person who was considered the most complete embodiment of mediocrity by those close to him remained at the helm of the world's second superpower for 18 years without anyone even trying to take the helm from him. Was Brezhnev a genius of political struggle or did the times demand just such a dull and ordinary personality? In order to find an answer to these questions, this book pays a lot of attention to Brezhnev's close family, comrades in arms who encouraged and supported him, as well as his private and family life, which sometimes turns out to be more interesting and even more important than his political achievements. The internationally recognized Russian historian Boriss Sokolov is the author of 65 books, including biographies of Zhukov, Beria, Molotov, Baron Ungern and others, as well as historical, political and economic writings published in many languages, six of which have also been translated into Estonian.
