La corte del zar rojo

The level of detail and the focus on personal relationships inside Stalin’s inner circle really brings history to life. I wonder what drew him to this specific angle.

The book portrays Stalin as both a manipulative leader and a complex individual. It made me wonder how much charisma played a role in his rise and maintenance of power.

The cast of characters is extensive, and their stories add richness to the narrative. I'm curious about the process behind selecting which figures to highlight and how much research went into this.
