From politics to literature
Not so long ago, we saw this woman as a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation. But at present, the famous Russian politician Irina Khakamada has refused to participate in active political activity and struggle for a place at the top of power. However, she did not leave public life.
Today, the life priorities of this outstanding person have shifted to other areas of social life. And above all, it is literature and journalism. The books of Irina Khakamada are diverse, but always interesting. There is no lack of reader attention to them.

Irina Khakamada, whose books touch on many topics, events, facts and persons of recent Russian history, is completely not inclined to give her literary work an exclusively memorial character. Reading them, you understand that this is an attempt to comprehend the very difficult historical period of the nineties and the beginning of the two thousandth through the prism of your life experience. And this is the experience of a direct participant in many of the most important events of this time.
It is no secret to anyone that Irina Khakamada also took part in making many economic decisions of the transition period. Books, reviews of which are always carefully studied by experts and analysts, tell how a market economy was created in Russia. And about the role of the author in these processes. First of all, we are talking about such works as “The Common Affair” and “Features of
National Politics”.
Not only economics, not only politics
In understanding the realities of Russian life, it is customary to be based on the solid principles of materialism and classical dialectics. These are the traditions of the national philosophical school. In the framework of this paradigm, many publicists who write on topical issues remain. Irina Khakamada, whose books are devoted to the same circle of social problems, made an attempt to comprehend them from a completely different perspective. Her book, Sex in Big Politics, is dedicated to the role of gender in social processes, understanding the secret springs of career success, and unexpected twists in the fate of significant personalities.
The author's ideas expressed in this book have received significant resonance both in Russian society and beyond. And the success of the publication has led to an increase in demand for other books by Irina Khakamada. Reader reviews indicate that many of the author’s thoughts are heard and understood.
"Tao of life." Eastern wisdom
In 2012, one of the most famous works of a politician and publicist was published. Like other books by Irina Khakamada, The Tao of Life covers a wide range of topics. But the author himself and the critics of his work have every reason to consider this work especially significant. What is this book about? In short - about the ways of becoming an individual and the strategy for achieving success. Of course, other books by Irina Khakamada are devoted to the same topics. But it is the “Tao of Life” that is able to help the thoughtful reader to find answers to the most significant questions of being, to separate the important from the secondary in everyday existence, to rationally prioritize the near and distant future.
This book is based on a thousand-year-old oriental philosophy, and its wisdom is considered in all corners of the world. A more rational reader, flipping through the books of Irina Khakamada in the hope of extracting the keys from them for a successful career in business or politics, will not be mistaken. Through all the experience of his life, including in literature, the author proved that these keys are contained in his books.
Will Hakamada return to big politics?
Many of those who care about the future of Russia are asking whether Irina Khakamada should be expected to return to big politics. Often, she herself has to answer about her plans for the future. The politician shies away from a direct and categorical answer to this question, adhering to the old principle of "never say never." And at present, all interested parties can only leaf through the books of Irina Khakamada in the hope of finding answers to all questions on their pages.
