First volume is signed by the author. Dmitri Antonovich Volkogonov (22 March 1928 – 6 December 1995) was a Soviet/Russian historian and colonel general who was head of the Soviet military's psychological warfare department. After research in secret Soviet archives, he published biographies of Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin, among others. Despite being a committed Stalinist and Marxist–Leninist ideologue for most of his career, Volkogonov came to repudiate communism and the Soviet system before his death from cancer in 1995. Through his research in the restricted archives, Volkogonov discovered facts that contradicted the Soviet version of events, and the cult of personality that had been built up around Lenin and Stalin. Volkogonov published books that contributed to liberal Russian thought that emerged during Glasnost in the late 1980s and the post-Soviet era of the early 1990s. More
