One of the most famous modern politicians is perceived differently. The polar nature of Gennady Zyuganov's assessments is explained by the fact that he is constantly at the center of a social conflict generated by two different value systems, two views on the path of Russia's development. But this is not the only reason. The author of the book tries to answer the question of what is actually hidden behind the flow of information that accompanies the political activities of the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
