Recenzii

Eerily fascinating...Probably the best, most accurate and useful to histor insider account we will ever have. One does not so much read this book as engage in a one-on-one conversation with a major figure in a gigantic criminal organization.
Offers real insight into top level Stalinist politics...
An important book, the same way Mein Kampf or Mao's Red Book are important...grippingly vivid.
Of the spate of memoirs published, the most valuable may be Molotov's...should be published in every language.
Molotov Remembers is a major contribution to the study of Soviet history, and it makes spellbinding reading to boot.... [T]his book certainly deserves the widest possible readership.
[This book] is an invaluable document.... Molotov's rigid doctrinaire approach, which allows the reader to get to know him as he really was, is the main attraction of the book.
What is effectively conveyed by the conversations, however, is something generally more elusive and less palpable, namely, the world view of Molotov and, though Molotov's example, the categories and structures of Bolshevik thought in its Stalinist variant.
[The book] offers real insight into top-level Stalinist politics.
A book worth reading to understand the inside struggle in erstwhile USSR.
[U]nique 'memoir' of the political history of the Soviet Union.
[This book] give[s] military members critical insight.... Highly recommended reading.
Chuev's book...demonstrates the psychological and moral emptiness of the Stalinist clique-half true believes, half paranoid rogues-and shows how wholeheartedly they assisted the dictator in his criminal actions.
Molotov Remembers is an important historical document which cannot be ignored by anyone who wishes to understand the mental climate of the Soviet regime.
[This book] provide[s] valuable material for objective historians.
[This book] is an unusually in-depth penetration of Kremlin politics and the Russian political psyche.
[I]t is both significant and fascinating.
An important resource for future Soviet studies, Molotov's words also provide a mesmerizing and chilling chronicle of how the Marxist dream mutated into the Soviet nightmare-and of how power, once again, corrupted absolutely.
[This book is] a quite fascinating self-portrait of a very bad man, an ideologue with a deformed morality all his own and a heart of stone.
This chilling memoir by an unregenerate Stalinist constitutes a major first-hand source on Kremlin politics during the Lenin-Stalin-Khrushchev era.
Indispensable for all Soviet history collections.
