Anastas Mikoyan. Political portrait in the background of the Soviet era

   The book of a young historian from the Krasnodarsky region, offered to the attention of the reader, will certainly interest those who are not indifferent to the recent history and the present fate of our country. Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, the main character of the book, is one of the iconic figures of Soviet history. Bright and an original personality, he was inextricably linked for half a century with all its major events. How was the persistent struggle for the creation of a new society? What issues and how to solve those who stood at the head of the new system of power? How did the new state manage to contain the strongest in modern history invasion of foreign forces and ultimately to win? Why did not the victory open the era of a truly triumphant procession of a new ideology on the planet? A lot of similar and related questions arise from the thinking person when he addresses our still recent past. In addition, every reader had fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers and other elder relatives passed through the crucible of bloody and ruthless external and internal wars and trials, before which the leaders of the new system of power did not stop, claiming a new form of civilization. After reading the book M.Yu. Pavlova, the reader will receive at least some of the answers to questions of domestic history that concern him. And he will understand how psychologically and morally different people were, seemingly, united monolithically by the organs of higher power in a narrow space called the Kremlin.
