Definitely worth checking out, he's a English literature professor at the Michigan state university.

He learned Russian and studied the Soviet archives for a decade, his main conclusion are that Kruschevs speech was a bunch of lies and that the Moscow trials were legit, Trotsky did indeed collaborate with Nazis and Japan

 

I like the dude but obviously he also confirms my biases so who knows.

But the only people I see talking bad about him are usually trots and borgeouis historians, what do you all think?

  1. Deportation of Wolga Germans based on ethnicity instead if class

  2. Outlawing homosexual partnerships between men

  3. That he didn't support the popular front in the Spanish civil war more

  4. Stopping after Berlin

  5. Stopping before Tokyo

Only the first 2 are big mistakes imo

Great leader overall
