To write this book, the famous Polish reporter Witold Szabłowski had to travel around several former Soviet republics. He spoke with special cooks — Viktor Belyaev, who controlled the Kremlin kitchen, with those cooks who worked during the wars unleashed by Russia, with the cooks of Chernobyl, as well as those who survived and remembered for life the times of the Stalinist Holodomor in Ukraine. And it is precisely through the kitchen door that one can so well show not only human stories, taste habits, or the preferences of cooks and those they cooked for, but also the manipulative mechanisms of power — cruel and ruthless, concentrated in the hands of insane leaders, general secretaries, and other Soviet party officials.
Don't understand how food can serve propaganda? In the countries that were called the Soviet Union, it was served in every fried cutlet and every Soviet canteen from Kaliningrad to the North Pole, from Moldova to Vladivostok. Politics, unfortunately, was present both in what the first secretary ate and in what the average citizen of the great totalitarian utopian state consumed or lacked to eat.
