"This book is the most exciting, most impressive and in many ways the most illuminating autobiography ever to come out of the Stalinist environment."

During his career in the Soviet secret service, Pavel Sudoplatov was not only a secret witness to many events that left their mark on world politics in the 20th century, but also a high-ranking intelligence officer who carried out active duties in many areas, including the assassination of Trotsky, the war with the Nazis, spy networks in the West and the construction of the first Soviet atomic bomb. . His memoirs have never lost their feature of being a historical text with their contributions to the construction of an important historical period.

In this book, in addition to an inside look at the functioning of the Soviet secret services, we see the power relations that resulted in frequent purges within the Soviet leadership and party mechanism, and how Stalin, who wanted to consolidate his power, transformed these purges into a state policy. Rather than an internal reckoning, this look at the construction of Soviet socialism reveals a historical narrative that brings events and people together and asks us to look back to understand one. This is a perspective that tries to shed light on the path from Stalin to Stalinism.
