Country of the Soviets. Forgotten leaders

This project examines the key figures who led the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1953: Felix Dzerzhinsky, Kliment Voroshilov, Semyon Budyonny, Vyacheslav Molotov, Andrey Zhdanov, Victor Abakumov, and Lavrenty Beria. Their names are widely recognized across the nation, yet few remember how they entered history or what they did for their state. They operated amid civil strife and social upheaval, shaping the course of history. Cities, streets, and mountain peaks bore their names, monuments were erected in their honor, and their victories were recounted in schools, but they could not foresee that, over the years, their biographies would be carefully edited and all of their achievements forgotten.
