> Holodomor was invented to make a boogeyman of USSR
> Katyn was done by Nazis
> Gulags were not that bad
> Deportations were unfortunate, but look, someone did it too, therefore it's ok
> Molotov-Ribbentrop was a fake, whatabout [insert some unrelated nonsense]
> The rape of Berlin never happened

- RedCondor 3y agoThis is just bargain-bin "spraying shit and seeing what sticks." Some falsehoods, some distorsions, most of which are handled superbly by this book chapter on the Khrushchev Report: https://redsails.org/losurdo-on-the-secret-report/ https://redsails.org/losurdo-on-the-secret-report/ Beevor is particularly vile with his rape-storytelling, and his stuff does not check out. See, "Hordes of Rapists: The Instrumentalization of Sexual Violence in German Cold War Anti-Communist Discourses": https://journals.openedition.org/rccsar/476 https://journals.openedition.org/rccsar/476 Seek truth from facts, brother.
