A. Vento, Secrets of the Past
Series: Open Book
History is written by the victors.
And what remains behind the scenes?
"Secrets of the Past" is a collection of historical essays dedicated to events that official history preferred not to explain, or explained too conveniently.
Conspiracies, secret decisions, the elimination of allies, fear of the truth—all these are not exceptions, but the usual mechanisms of power.
In this book:
— Why the Great Terror was not an accident
— Why Stalin was really killed
— How Lavrenty Beria disappeared
— Why the USSR did not respond to a direct military attack by the United States
— What scandals of the Soviet elite concealed. Epstein rests
— Who in history was a traitor, and who was a convenient scapegoat
This is not an alternative fantasy or a novel.
It is an attempt to connect known facts in a way that textbooks have not. Why historians dislike this book:
— It asks uncomfortable questions
— It doesn't look for "heroes" and "villains"
— It shows power as a system of fear and survival
Each essay can be read separately.
But together, they form a frighteningly logical picture of the era.
App format:
— 9 stand-alone essays
— Night mode
— Font customization
— Archival photos and illustrations
— Save reading location
