Just finished reading the book Stalin - Diktaturets Anatomi by Niels Erik Rosenfeldt. A nice walk through the life of Iosef Stalin, from his young days in Georgia to the top in Kremlin and his death of course.
A lot of interesting assumptions and historic events that one seldom thinks about in todays world. A wellwritten and documented book about how the Russian comunism from the beliefs of Lenin and later on Stalin, was build and how the power was consolidated by Stalin and how he ran the country/Soviet Union.
The book also opens for a lot of topics that is interesting to follow up on, like the Gulag camps, the secret police in its different forms, how Stalin went from a young freedom fighter in Georgia during the Tsar rule to who he later became. I guess I know what I will use some of my sparetime on later on.
Here's the wikipedia site about Stalin for a starter.
