The book of Major General of the Russian Imperial Army Count Skull-Spiridovich is published in his homeland for the first time. Written in exile in the hot pursuit of the communist revolution and civil war, it had a difficult fate. The first publication of The Hidden Hand appeared in 1926 in New York through the efforts of the Anti-Bolshevik Publishers Association. Until 1969, three more editions were published, including the Swedish one with a preface by Herulf Vikingson, which fell into our hands.
