"The 20th century was an era of great events and happenings that radically changed the world. At the same time, it had an unbroken chain of scandals and sensations, for that was how the rapidly developing information industry presented its gaudy versions of events to its readers, listeners, and viewers. Not a single field of human activity escaped it - politics and economics, science and technology, culture and sport, celebrities and ordinary people...
In other words, in the 20th century scandal became a universal mode of depicting reality. Through its lens, wee see a highly engaging picture of the last century that often runs against the grain of official history, while remaining an integral part of it. This part involves not only history, but also the present, which makes it all the more worthy of attention and study", - said Vladimir Lisin.
This publication presents the biggest, strangest scandals and sensations of the 20th century. Collectively, they create a vivid, colorful picture of that time, a century that could be absurd and funny as well as mysterious and dramatic.
