Important positive changes that took place in the life of Belarus and the USSR as a whole in the 50-60s of the 20th century are widely known. The personal contribution to this was made by the state and public figure of Belarus and the USSR Kirill Trofimovich Mazurov. The book reflects the milestones of the life and development of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus. The book by the Belarusian writer, candidate of historical sciences N.A. 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, stood at the origins of the bold reforms in the USSR, which went down in history as "Kosygin's", and took direct part in their implementation. This book is an attempt, based on a broad research base, previously unknown documents, stored for many years in archives under the heading "Top Secret", "Special Sector", personal diary entries and unfinished memoirs of Mazurov, to rethink the time in which he lived and worked, to take a new look at the events of that era, around which disputes do not subside even today - the "cold war", Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan. And also, contrary to the established stereotypes about Soviet leaders, to show that even in conditions that excluded any freedom of opinion, there were people who saw and understood both the excesses and mistakes of the party leadership, were not afraid to speak about them publicly, to defend a different point of view, to understand what was really happening in the corridors of power and what time had kept silent about for so long?
