The new, expanded and revised edition of the cult book by the outstanding historian, writer and military analyst Viktor Suvorov, which changed our understanding of the causes of the Second World War, is a grandiose historical reconstruction of the events of the 1920-1940s, when the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Stalin, carried out a global plan for the reorganization of the world in order to achieve its main goal - world domination. Putting together known and little-known facts and events of those years into a single mosaic, the author talks about how the leadership of the USSR, led by Stalin, tried to fan the flames of the world revolution and a new world war, using Hitler and Nazi Germany as the “Icebreaker of the Revolution” for the conquest of Europe under the guise of communist ideology. Viktor Suvorov dispels numerous myths about the causes and circumstances of the beginning of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War, which for decades were created and disseminated by Soviet propaganda, politicians and historians in Russia and abroad , falsifying the history of key events of the first half of the twentieth century.
