St. Petersburg: Neva, 2005 480 p. [16 ill.] Serie: Tainy velikikh Hardcover. 12.5 x 20 cm ISBN: 5765440282 Language: Russian
This book offers an alternative vision on the history of the USSR from mid 1930s to mid 1950s and on the role and significance of Lavrentii Beriia whose life was destroyed, image was blemished and his positive actions deleted from history by the next generation of Kremlin politicians. The St. Petersburg journalist Elena Prudnikov, the author of the books "Dvoinoi Zagovor" and "Stalin: Vtoroe Ubiistvo" (both are also available) investigates all the major accusations against Beriia, shows many strained interpretations and arguments, and tries to prove that Beria`s case was completely falsified. The author also disputes the statements of many accusers of Beria, particularly of Anton Antonov-Ovsienko.
