The new issue of History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman is dedicated to the rise to power of Benito Mussolini, one of the first dictators of the 20th century, the founder of fascism, a man who in the first half of his career was famous and respected much more than Hitler, and only much later began to be perceived as pathetic jester. What made Mussolini successful? What strings did he play? How did you achieve popularity?
