Thirty years ago, the Soviet Union collapsed. The unprecedented historical experiment started by the Revolution of 1917 collapsed. Andrei Grachev was Mikhail Gorbachev's last press secretary. It was he who, on December 25, 1991, announced the demise of the USSR to the international press and a stunned world. Why did Gorbachev's perestroika - an attempt to save the state by modernizing it - end in the dramatic collapse of the Soviet Empire? Why did Mikhail Gorbachev fail to use military and power levers to preserve his power? Whose actions or inaction led to the collapse of the USSR: conservatives, democrats, nationalists or foreign "well-wishers"? On these and other topical questions answers and shares the secrets of big politics one of those who led the Soviet Union until the last minutes of the existence of this state. Three decades have passed - with his obituary book Andrei Serafimovich Grachev finally sees off the USSR into history and offers a glimpse into the future. Without fear, but also without illusions.
