Larisa Vasilyeva's documentary-journalistic study focuses on the fates of women whose husbands were leaders of the Soviet state. From Nadezhda Krupskaya to Raisa Gorbacheva, the author paints portraits of the "Kremlin wives," recounting their personalities, actions, and the complex intricacies of their lives. What were these companions of the USSR's top officials like? Were their lives happy behind the Kremlin walls? Why were some of them arrested or exiled? A special place in the book is given to those who entered the Kremlin's corridors not as wives, but as comrades: Larisa Reisner, Alexandra Kollontai, and Galina Semenova. The book draws on unique archival materials, personal impressions, interviews with eyewitnesses, and the recollections of contemporaries.
