It is no coincidence that Roy Medvedev's book "To the Court of History," written in 1971, opens the collected works of the brothers Roy and Zhores Medvedev. It remains relevant today and remains the main book of the famous historian Roy Medvedev. This is the first serious study about Stalin and Stalinism that came to the West from Russia. The book aroused interest not only in political and academic circles, but also in the left movement. A large number of reviews immediately appeared on it. The book is still published in the United States and is recommended there as a textbook on the history of the USSR at American universities. "To the Court of History" was published in twenty countries and translated into fourteen languages ​ ​ of the world, and in China it withstood three reprints.
