Jean-Lambert Taglien, a political figure of the French Revolution, gained a not too flattering reputation among his contemporaries and then among historians. The son of a butler who became a revolutionary activist, one of the youngest deputies of the Convention, sent with a responsible mission to the heart of the Gironde - Bordeaux, and then, 9 Thermidor, dared the first to speak out against Robespierre, a member of Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign - Talien quickly made a political career, but did not last long in the zenith of glory. The author of the book, D. V. Zaitseva (IWI RAS, GAYGN), explores the origins of the "black legend" formed in historiography about this bright and controversial figure of the Revolution, analyzes the reasons that allowed a seemingly ordinary man from the lower classes to achieve dizzying success in politics, and gives an answer to the question of why his rapid rise ended with an even more rapid fall.
