Description
The death of remarkable people
Why did Tutankhamun die? Could Pushkin have been saved after the duel? What did the world and science gain from August D.—whose exact last name remained unknown? Using the examples of medical histories and deaths of well-known and not-so-well-known people, the authors of this book—medical journalists Alexey Paevsky and Anna Khoruzhaya—reveal important pages of the history of healing; lift the veil of mystery that hid the passing of many celebrities; and finally give the reader a great deal of useful information that may well save their health and life.
Made in the USSR
Stalin poisoned Lenin, Krupskaya, and Bekhterev. Even Stalin himself, his associates left without medical help. Maxim Gorky was treated to death by enemies of the people, and Frunze was stabbed right on the operating table.
What of this is true, and what is conspiracy theory and myth?
The new book by the authors of the bestseller “The Death of Remarkable People” consists of stories of celebrities who lived and died in the Soviet Union. Among them are famous athletes, leaders of the state and politicians, figures of science and technology, writers and poets, laureates of the Stalin and Nobel Prizes. They fell ill and died in completely different ways. Only one thing unites them: the death of almost every hero of the book is accompanied by an incredible number of myths—one more beautiful than the next.
That’s why the book turned out to be both a medical-historical study and a hard-nosed detective story with exposure of numerous conspiracy theories.
