The key goal of this book is to characterize L.I. Brezhnev as the protagonist of the "Brezhnev era," the architect of the Soviet social state. The study is written in the genre of a new political biography. The authors have abandoned a chronological narrative; the entire narrative is organized around the figure of Brezhnev, who is a "globalizing object." The primary documentary source for the book was Brezhnev's "flight log"—his work and diary entries from 1964 to 1982—as well as a large array of documents from Brezhnev's personal archive in the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History. Important additional sources included the diary entries and memoirs of Brezhnev's contemporaries, ranging from representatives of the Soviet elite, including those from Brezhnev's inner circle, to the writings of ordinary Soviet citizens. Using an original research lens, the book illuminates facets of Brezhnev's personality as a person and a politician that have remained largely unknown until now.
