Leonid Brezhnev. An Experience of Political Biography
99.99 €
The key goal of this book is to characterize L.I. Brezhnev as the main hero 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 abandoned the chronological narrative; the entire narrative is organized around the figure of Brezhnev, who is a “globalizing object.” The main documentary source for writing the book was Brezhnev’s “flight log” — his work and diary entries for 1964–1982, as well as a large array of documents from Brezhnev’s personal collection in the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History. Important additional sources included diary entries and memoirs of Brezhnev’s contemporaries, ranging from representatives of the Soviet elite, including Brezhnev’s inner circle, to texts by ordinary Soviet citizens. Thanks to the use of an original research optics, the book highlights facets of Brezhnev’s personality as a person and a politician, which have remained unknown to this day.
