    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    Foreword by Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR and USSR Academy of Sciences V.N. Chernigovsky. A. S. Zalmanov & mdash; outstanding scientist, three times doctor of medicine (Russia, Germany, Italy), general of the medical service. His book & mdash; it is a lively, imaginative and emotional conversation with the reader about the body's natural defenses and how to stimulate them, a passionate speech against the widespread and often unjustified use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs, which often have a detrimental effect on the body. The core idea of the book is & mdash; & laquo; the wisdom of the body & raquo ;, its ability to self-regulate as self-healing in various & laquo; breakdowns & raquo ;. Under the influence of the works of A. Krog, who received the Nobel Prize in medicine precisely for his work on the study of the physiology of capillaries, Zalmanov created his concept based on his vast experience in healing numerous patients with chronic diseases. Treatment according to Zalmanov primarily consists in the revival of capillaries to life. He proved that using capillary therapy is possible not only treatment, but also the prevention of aging. His ideas about the dominant role of capillaries in the body, about the need to restore impaired capillary blood flow are more relevant than ever. He developed a method of capillary therapy and the formulation of white, yellow and mixed & laquo; turpentine baths & raquo; helped many, many thousands of patients.

Exploring the official and unofficial Soviet documents, the author comes to a very unexpected conclusion regarding the causes of Stalin's death. From the preface: & laquo; At the top of the pyramid of the Soviet partycracy there was not enough room for two criminal geniuses & mdash; for Stalin and Beria. Sooner or later, one had to give way to another, or both would die in the mutual struggle. Both happened almost simultaneously & raquo ;. & laquo; For me, Abdurakhman Avtorkhanov became a great teacher on how to write books & raquo; & mdash; Viktor Suvorov, author of the books & laquo; Icebreaker & raquo ;, & laquo; Day & bdquo; М & ldquo; & raquo; and others.
