About the book: 2024 / This book is the first of its kind attempt to “talk” with Stalin. Moreover, we, Russian citizens, have accumulated a lot of questions for him: - Why did he annex the Russian Donbass to Ukraine? - Why did he give Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan? - Did he really sign the execution lists? - How did he fight corruption and restore the country after the war? How did you see the future of the state of workers and peasants? You will find the answers in this book. Stalin will respond with documents that he signed with his own hand: coded telegrams, letters, instructions, orders, notes in the margins of documents. Today, as archives are declassified, we can try to “hear” this man without ingrained stereotypes and prejudices. Hear in order to understand why we Today we live in such a country. How we need to build Russia further so that it does not die once every hundred years.
