Fateful 53rd. Deadly Games

1953 was one of the turning points in Soviet history. The death of I. V. Stalin, the fall of L. P. Beria, and the rise to power of N. S. Khrushchev changed the direction of the country's development, which largely predetermined the subsequent collapse and demise of the USSR. Why did this become possible? And who is responsible for it? As L. M. Kaganovich once said: «Every accident has a name, surname, and position». In Elena Prudnikova's research, these names, surnames, and positions are identified. Events that seem unrelated come together to form a single picture — as usual, having nothing in common with any of the commonly accepted interpretations.
