- hajile 6y agoDo you have any sources for that claim? Last I checked, his wife actually helped write the abridged version. More importantly, Russians by the tens of thousands who survived or lived in those times attest to its accuracy. It's not like this is ancient history. People who lived through the latter part of the system are still alive today and still agree with the contents.
