Cardiologist Evgenii Chazov (b. 1929) was the head of the department of the Ministry of Health care which was in charge of providing care to the leaders of the USSR in 1967-1986, and later the minister of the health care industry (1987-1990). This period was special because leaders died one after another: Brezhnev, then Andropov, then Chernenko. This book describes diagnoses and the course of medical treatment of them as well as those who came after: Gorbachev and Yeltsin. The book portrays all these leaders not only from a medical, but also from a personal point of view, as well as the situation at the top echelons in the course of their treatment. (0.205 kg.)
