Mahatma Gandhi considered Leo Tolstoy his spiritual teacher, and Vladimir Putin would very much like to talk to Gandhi himself, as he told reporters in 2007. Why is Gandhi rightfully called the "titan of the 20th century"? One of the leaders and ideologists of the movement for the independence of India from Great Britain, he developed a theory about a "non-violent revolution." It had a huge impact on supporters of peaceful change and ultimately led to victory: the liberation of India from the British in 1947. Later, the experience of the "non-violent revolution" was successfully applied in a number of other countries. In the book presented to your attention, Mahatma Gandhi talks about his life and struggle, and also presents the main provisions of his ideology.
