Vladimir Nikolaevich Osipov, an outstanding political and public figure of our time, devoted his life to the struggle for Russia, for its national interests and ideals. In 1959, as a Russian patriot, he was expelled from Moscow University. And two years later, as a "reactionary Slavophile," he was arrested and tried. He spent 15 years in political camps and prisons. The book of V. Osipov is the confession of a person who was in the thick of the most acute events. This is a chronicle of Russian history from the 1960s to our cursed "democratic" days, written without embellishment and prejudice.
