Vadim Zakharovich Rogovin (1937-1998) - Soviet sociologist, philosopher, historian of the revolutionary movement, author of a seven-volume history of the internal party struggle in the CPSU (b) and the Comintern in 1922-1940. In this study, for the first time in domestic and world science, the most extensive factual material from the most dramatic period of our history (from 1922 to 1941) was comprehended and linked into a single historical concept of development (completely different from the one that was imposed on us in Soviet times, and the one that is being imposed now). g.).The fifth volume covers the most important political events in the USSR, starting from the June plenum of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks in 1937, at which the opposition to the great terror within the Central Committee was broken, and until the removal of Yezhov from the post of People's Commissar of Internal Affairs. The activities of Trotsky, the Bolshevik “defectors” and the progressive world community to expose Stalin’s crimes are revealed. The criminal actions of Stalin's agents abroad are described. What remained of the Bolshevik party after 1938, what did it become? Were all confessions of defendants in open trials fictitious? Was there resistance to Stalinism in the USSR in the 30s? Which part of Soviet society represented the social support of the great purge? The reader will find the answer to these and many other questions in this book.
