From this book, the reader will learn the unknown “behind-the-scenes currents” in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which led the party to a sharp decline in its authority in society. After the betrayal of the top of the CPSU led by Gorbachev, the renewed Communist Party was headed by Gennady Zyuganov. He became a leader, but did not become a leader, because in August 1991 the party no longer needed Pravda. It was at that time when the “victorious democracy” made every effort to destroy the newspaper. The book by the last editor-in-chief of the “main” newspaper of the Soviet Union “Pravda” Alexander Ilyin, who led it through the lies of 1991 and the executions of 1993, is an honest story about the most difficult, dramatic, sometimes even tragic period in the fate of the country and people through the fate of the party and its leader - Gennady Zyuganov.
