The author of this article focuses on “near-scientific” discussions related to the idea of Napoleon as a totalitarian leader, the predecessor of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. Despite the fact that these “discussions” sometimes do not have a scientific character, they have a great public response, because they are actively heated by the media. Based on the analysis of the works of Anglo-Saxon and French authors, the article traces the origins of ideas about Napoleon as a totalitarian leader, and also analyzes the reasons for the appearance of such “theories”.http://j-locus.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2020-1-87.pdfnapoleon bonapartehistoriographytotalitarianismadolf hitlermass mediathierry lentzjean tulare
