The book offered to readers by Igor Bunin, “The Gold of the Party,” has been the No. 1 bestseller in the vast expanses of Russia over the past decade. What is the reason for such success? After all, mountains of literature have been written and rewritten about the cunning Ilyich, nimble commissars and cold-headed security officers. The answer is simple - Igor Bunich first presented the October Revolution, the seizure of power by Lenin and his associates, as well as the subsequent seventy-year history of the USSR from the point of view of money - gold - a despised metal - an evergreen convertible currency.
