Golubeva is dedicated to the outstanding figure of the Belarusian and Soviet political history of the 20th century Kirill Trofimovich Mazurov, who made an invaluable contribution to the economic and social development of the BSSR, was at the origin of bold reforms in the USSR that went down in history as “Kosygin”, and took direct part in their implementation. This book is an attempt on the basis of a broad research base, previously unknown documents, which have been kept in archives under the heading “Top Secret”, “Special Sector” for many years, personal diary entries and unfinished memories of Mazurov to rethink the time in which he lived and worked, A new look at the events of that era, around which disputes are still not abating, - “Cold War”, Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan. And despite the prevailing stereotypes about the Soviet leaders, to show that even in conditions precluding any freedom of opinion, there were people who saw and understood the exaggerations and mistakes of the party leadership, were not afraid to speak publicly about them, to defend a different point of view, to understand what was actually happening in the corridors of power and what was the time silent for so long?
