Malen'kie tragedii bol'shoi istorii - S'ianova Elena Evgen'evna

In her new book, the writer, journalist and historian Elena Syanova, as before (in the publishing house "Time" came out "Ten from the deck of Hitler" and "Hitler's directory"), continues to look closely into the depths of centuries and decades. The fates and events about which she writes, could seem insignificant against the background of great heroes and great villains of past eras - Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler ... But these "little tragedies" have one amazing property - each of them, like a magnifying glass, brings us closer to us other times, fills them with living blood and living meaning.
