Gong Zizhen, a famous thinker in the Qing Dynasty, once said: "A country that destroys its people must first destroy its history." If a country or a nation cannot view it correctly, or even tamper with, distort or even completely deny its history, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country and the decline of the nation. The sudden disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s just confirmed this rule. President Putin said: The disintegration of the Soviet Union is the greatest historical tragedy for the entire nation. At present, many Russian people have learned from the painful experience and have begun to re-evaluate the history of the Soviet Union objectively and dialectically. The author of this book picks out seven controversial issues in the history of the Soviet Union, uses a large number of the latest views in Russian academic circles, and uses detailed information, sufficient evidence, objective attitude, rational thinking and refined language to expose for us each absurd "myth" that has been or is still circulating, and recreates the historical truth. This is very beneficial for us to view history correctly and carefully summarize the lessons we should learn from the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
