The Bolshevik Leader Stalin Could Never Fully Trust

Moscow. 1978. An old man sits in a comfortable apartment in the Soviet capital. He is eighty-two years old, white-haired, still sharp-eyed behind his characteristic mustache, the face recognizable to anyone who has paid attention to Soviet history over the past sixty years. He has outlived Lenin, outlived Stalin, outlived Khrushchev, outlived the entire generation of men who made the Russian Revolution and fought the Civil War and built the Soviet state and then spent decades destroying each other in the terror that state produced. He is, in a very real sense, the last man standing. The last surviving member of Lenin's inner circle. The last person who was present at the creation of the Soviet Union and who is still alive to remember it. He has served in Soviet government continuously since 1926, through the reigns of four General Secretaries, through purges that consumed virtually every other person who had ever stood where he stood, through a world war, through the Cold War, through the Cuban Missile Crisis, through the fall of Khrushchev, through the consolidation of Brezhnev's power. _____________________________ Each episode is based on historical research from books, academic publications, historical archives, and reputable sources.
