The Kremlin's Secret Diplomacy. Part 2

The author reconstructs the foreign-policy history of the Soviet Union and Russia through portraits of the People’s Commissars and Ministers of Foreign Affairs. This book is first and foremost biographies of world-famous figures whose personality had a decisive influence on the development of the state’s foreign-policy strategy. At the same time, the author shows that ministers change, and some diplomatic traditions laid down right after the revolution remain. L. Mlechin’s book is devoted not only to foreign policy and diplomacy. It is another look at the fate of our country—from 1917 to the present day. We offer you the second part of the book, which tells about Vyacheslav Molotov, Yanuary Vyshinsky, and Dmitry Shipilov.
