At the most opportune time, Ciela publishes a story written by Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner about espionage, sabotage, diplomacy, and fake news of the US-Russian war over world domination.

For 75 years, America and Russia - the two superpowers - have been fighting for dominance on the world map.

And if in the 20th century America won the long war and for a while it seemed as if its triumph could be lasting, at the beginning of the 21st century Russia retaliated under the leadership of the ambitious Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir Putin is a Russian politician.

Born on October 7, 1952 in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg.

And his actions should be closely monitored.

In the impressive Madness and Fame study, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tim Weiner traces the development of a decade-long struggle between the world's two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the rebirth of the Soviet empire.

The history of the political war between the two countries dates back to the end of World War II.

Rivalry is raging everywhere - Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe.

He is fighting for resources, for influence, for positions needed now and in the future. 

"Madness and Glory" covers the various stages of the battle between the two Great Powers - from "sowing the seeds of future conflict", through paramilitary missions in the 50s of the XX century, the Cold War, the period of undeniable American domination, which ends with the 9/11 attacks, until the new fierce opposition in the 21st century - the field of propaganda and fake news is becoming the most important battlefield on the planet.

Tim Weiner is the winner of the most prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Journalism and the US National Literary Prize for the book "Legacy from the Ashes: The History of the CIA", published in Bulgaria in 2009. As a correspondent for the New York Times has followed the activities of the CIA, FBI and Pentagon in Washington and has been a military reporter in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan and many other countries for almost 20 years.

He is a professor of history and creative writing at Princeton University and Columbia University in New York.
