Doctor historical sciences V. S. Brachev widely refers to the "Battle for the Himalayas" as a source in his books and believes that in some cases Oleg Shishkin's version of Roerich's activities during the Central Asian expedition is more plausible than the version expressed by contemporary followers of Nicholas Roerich, and the Indologist A. N. Senkevich considers the version proved by Shishkin that Nicholas Roerich was a scout.
Oleg Shishkin himself, regarding his study of Roerich's cooperation with the special services, said that he was primarily interested in the moral aspect, where "it was far from a bright image", and Roerich appeared as "Philip Kirkorov of esotericism."
Books about Rasputin
In Oleg Shishkin's books Kill Rasputin (2000) and Rasputin. A History of Crime (2004), he presents a special look at Grishka, which is presented as a tool of foreign intelligence agencies who sought to carry out a coup d'état in Russia. As an appendix in the book "Kill Rasputin" were given unique archival documents, memoirs of the former director of the Police Department S.P. Beletsky, written by him in a prison cell of the Peter and Paul Fortress, notes of the former hieromonk Iliodor. The book "Rasputin. History of Crime" is quoted in scientific journals.
Researchers A.P. Kotsyubinsky and D.A. Kotsyubinsky, who critically evaluate almost all memoirs and works about Rasputin, are also critical of the conspiracy concept of the murder of Rasputin proposed by Oleg Shishkin. The author of articles about Rasputin, A. Potapov, believes that the report of the autopsy of the corpse of G. Rasputin, which Shishkin cites in the book “Rasputin. The history of the crime”, referring to a foreign author, is, in his opinion, a “fake”.
A review of the book Kill Rasputin, published in Literaturnaya Gazeta, described Oleg Shishkin's method of work as a combination of "serious archival research, wild imagination and absolute certainty that (or knowledge of that?) that the course of human history is controlled or at least would be corrected by the actions of all sorts of secret forces.

My whole life has been about experimentation. Our government is also an experimenter, only incomparably more high category. I long to live to see the victorious conclusion of this historic social experiment.

What is this book about
This book is a fascinating journalistic investigation of the 1920s. Shocked by the death of Lenin, the Bolsheviks initiate experiments to rejuvenate the human body. At the same time, an even more daring task was set before Soviet scientists - to create a superman. To this end, the best biologists and geneticists of the USSR are conducting experiments on crossing Homo sapiens with an anthropoid ape. Will Red Frankenstein be born? There is no shortage of people in a totalitarian state. More difficult with primates. Expeditions go abroad, a hungry country spends huge foreign exchange resources to buy monkeys, a nursery is being created in Sukhumi.
Why the book is worth reading
The history of unique research and relationships between scientists and government is based on both open sources, and on materials from archives closed until recently. You will find out who and how carried out secret experiments on crossing great apes and humans, who developed the ideas of rejuvenation, and who tested war gases on workers in Moscow factories.
Should scientists be guided by morality? Where are the limits in scientific research? What exactly did Bulgakov know when he wrote Heart of a Dog?
