The book "Kremlin Wives" is a journalistic, artistic, and psychological study—if not also a historical study—of the difficult, sometimes tragic, and unknown fate of the women destined to become the wives of the "leaders" of the Kremlin, sharing with those leaders their living space, food, and daily life details. The reader will encounter for the first time the story of a unique triangle: Lenin, the leader of the revolution; Krupskaya, his wife and companion; and Inessa Armand, Lenin's mistress. The tragic fate of Nadezhda Alliluyeva, Stalin's wife, will also be revealed, along with vivid portrayals of the wives of Molotov, the foreign minister, and Kalinin, the prime minister and chairman of the Soviet Council, who were thrown into Stalin's prisons.
