The book's author, writer Rafael Guseinov, worked for many years in the Kremlin's secret service. As a journalist, he accompanied the leaders of the USSR and Russia on numerous trips both domestically and internationally, meeting with the Emperor of Japan, the King of Jordan, US presidents, the Pope, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China, and presidents and prime ministers of many countries.
The book attempts to describe the lifestyles of people endowed with power and wealth. These multifaceted individuals leave behind varied memories among their fellow citizens. The elites have always lived by their own rules, the ones they themselves devised. Their lifestyle, daily routine, love affairs, and health have always been subjects of discussion, and often even condemnation, among their compatriots. If in enlightened Europe it was always customary to joyfully air the dirty laundry of those in power in public, then in Tsarist Russia, the USSR, and even today in Russia, respect for the private life of a person has been preserved, no matter who he is or what position he holds.
