FIVE BESTSELLERS IN ONE VOLUME! THE MOST COMPLETE EDITION of the secret diaries and personal notes of L. P. Beria, saved despite the orders of his killers. The political testament of the greatest statesman of the Stalin era sheds light on the main secrets of Soviet history—the year 1937, the catastrophic beginning of the war, the Atomic Project, and the death of I. V. Stalin. In these intimate diaries, written to himself, the “best manager of the 20th century” is profoundly sincere and honest, not avoiding the most dangerous topics, not covering up his own mistakes, and answering the most difficult questions with maximum frankness.
