Stalin was a dictator for so long that most historians have regarded the officials around him as mere conciliators and elements of political decorum. This book challenges this view, showing that behind Stalin was a group of loyalists who made an unusually effective team with him from the late 1920s until his death in 1953. Drawing on extensive original research, Sheila Fitzpatrick offers the first detailed description of the members of this inner circle and their families. She shows that these loyal associates-Beria, Andreev, and Khrushchev-not only worked closely with Stalin but also constituted his social circle. Taking readers from the cataclysms of the Great Purges and World War II to the paranoia of Stalin's final years, the book paints an entirely new portrait of Stalin in his inner circle, changing our understanding of how the Soviet Union was governed for much of its existence.
