I'm sure many on the list know of Grover Furr's work on Stalinism; his "The Official” Version of the Katyn Massacre Disproven? Discoveries at a German Mass Murder Site in Ukraine" was published in Socialism and Democracy (2013) Vol. 27, No. 2, pp. 96 -129 with the PDF available online. How does one answer his case without resorting to calling him a Stalin apologist? Others must know the case much better than I, but he makes a compelling case when considered along with Lih's recounting of Lenin that accounts of the period are hopelessly mired in anti-soviet vitrol. Jacobin's article <https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/09/timothy-snyders-lies/>on Timothy Snyder *Bloodlands* covers nothing that Furr hasn't already pointed out but is a start in addressing the fabrications that go along with the territory. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
