Meanwhile, he was a bright, extraordinary person, a fearless hero of the Caucasian War and an outstanding thinker - geopolitician and sociologist. Experts believe that Fadeev’s works are the best study of Russia’s eastern policy. The brilliant literary style, sharpness and paradoxical thought make reading Fadeev’s works a real “feast of the mind.”
