The riddle of Stalin's death (The Conspiracy of Beria) - the ninth book written abroad, the book of this excellent connoisseur of the "cuisine" of the top of the CPSU and an analyst of Soviet reality - is somewhat different from all others. Examining official and unofficial Soviet documents, the author comes to an amazing conclusion: Stalin did not die a natural death - the conspirators removed him! The author does not impose anything on the reader: he cites facts, rumors, deciphers omissions, and the reader can draw conclusions himself. This serious work is written exceptionally captivating and reads like a crime novel.
