The last son-in-law of Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, whose centenary of birth was celebrated in 2006, was Yuri Mikhailovich Churbanov, who turned 70 that same year. The dizzying career that a young employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made thanks to his successful marriage to the daughter of the general secretary became the topic of gossip, gossip and envy, which brought him, after the death of his all-powerful father-in-law, to the dock and to places not so distant. The memoirs, begun by Yu. M. Churbanov in the camp and first published immediately after his release from prison, where he was illegally thrown by the Gorbachev clique, captivate with their sincerity, directness and interesting details from the life of the Brezhnev family, in which the author lived in the last years of the twilight Soviet era. The current pensioner Churbanov, deprived of all titles and awards, looks back on his past life without regret or shame.
