Alexey Nikolaevich Kosygin. What do we know about him? Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, prominent economist, organizer of the economic reform of the 60s... Information mainly from the official chronicle. After death, there is a familiar picture of oblivion. The authors of this first book about Kosygin, people who knew him closely, sought to tell more fully about the life and work of an extraordinary person, a prominent leader of the Soviet state, who was looking for ways to renew it. Memoirs are always largely subjective, so sometimes each of the authors presents the same facts in their own way, but the reader will undoubtedly be attracted by the rich educational material contained in the book about a person who left a noticeable mark on the history of the Soviet Union. Many photographs included in the book published for the first time. The publication is addressed to a wide range of readers.
