"This is a very interesting book. I am lucky - I read all of Pavel's books in primary sources, while they were still manuscripts. I recommend to read this book - it is the elimination of a serious gap in the history of our country. Besides, Pavel Krasheninnikov writes at the intersection of history and law. The book has a good literary language, good images, characters. It is a kind of literary documentary," Stepashin said.
