Edvard Stanislavovich Radzinsky (born September 23, 1936) is a Russian playwright, television personality, screenwriter, and the author of more than forty history books. Radzinsky has specialized in books about figures and times of Russian history. Books translated into English include his biographies of Tsars Nicholas II and Alexander II, Rasputin, and Joseph Stalin. His book Stalin: The First In-depth Biography Based on Explosive New Documents from Russia's Secret Archives (1997) was based on research in Russian and Soviet archives made newly available after 1991. He explored numerous controversies about Joseph Stalin, including the existence of a fuller text of Lenin's Testament, the alleged involvement of Stalin as an agent of the Tsarist secret police, and the role of Stalin in the death of his wife and the murder of Sergey Kirov. According to Radzinsky, Stalin was poisoned by order of Lavrentiy Beria. His book includes an interview with a former bodyguard of Stalin, who stated that on the night of Stalin's death, the bodyguards were relieved of duty by an NKVD officer named Khrustalev. This same officer was briefly mentioned in Memories, the memoir of Stalin's daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva. More

Derived from a Kirkus review: Once in 1905 and twice in 1917 revolutions swept Russia, major acts in a drama that finally brought Lenin's Bolsheviks to power. Salisbury tackles a rarely attempted comprehensive history of the period, beginning with the 1882 execution of Lenin's older brother Aleksander for participation in a revolutionary plot, and ending with the 1918 murders of the Tsar and his family. The title comes from Aleksander Blok's poem about twelve Red Guards tramping through the Russian night. Salisbury's ruthless, manic depressive Lenin is repeatedly contraposed to the pathetically incompetent Tsar Nicholas II. The Tsar, though well intentioned, is indecisive and often swayed by the advice of charlatans. One point is critical: although in 1905 and February 1917 Lenin is found to be almost disastrously out of touch with Russian events, Salisbury sees him as forcing the successful October 1917 coup "almost singlehanded." Salisbury's version of Lenin's role in the coup and his vision of the "dark people" will be debated by those who argue that the coup resulted from a series of accidental, unforeseen incidents, as well as those who oppose generalizations about national character. An appealing feature is the chorus of footnotes citing Roy A. Medvedev, dissident chronicler of Stalin's crimes, which satisfies readers' curiosity about the fates of Lenin's coplotters. More
