The first part of this book would not be worth writing; everything that is said in it is in any more or less conscientious history textbook. However, continuous attempts to rewrite history require an adequate response. The first part, which is also an introduction to the book, is devoted to a topic about which historians and textbooks are already silent. But this is the main topic, everything else in relation to Russia is of secondary interest. The author is known for his series “Forbidden Political Economy” / “Trends”: “Revolution in Russian”, “Red and White”. This publication is a kind of continuation of the series dedicated to the political and economic history of Russia and the world of the 20th century.
