Grover Furr will speak about his latest book, "Blood Lies: The Evidence
that Every Accusation against Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union in Timothy
Snyder's 'Bloodlands' Is False." (Red Star Press, 2014)
Timothy Snyder, a full professor of Eastern European history at Yale, has
written two dozen articles for leading intellectual journals such as the NY
Review of Books. He recently published "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and
Stalin" (N.Y: Basic Books, 2010). This book is by far the most widespread
attempt to date to equate Stalin with Hitler, and the Soviet Union with Nazi
Germany. It has garnered rave reviews in literally dozens of newspapers and
journals; received prizes for historiography; and has been translated into more
than 25 languages.
Professor Tim Snyder has little to say about the Nazis. His main target
is Stalin, Soviet policy, and communists generally. His broader claim is that
the Soviets killed 6 to 9 million innocent civilians while the Nazis were
killing about 14 million. Snyder finds parallels between Soviet and Nazi crimes
at every turn.
Professor Grover Furr has spent two years methodically checking every
single footnote, every reference to anything that could be construed as a crime
by Stalin, the USSR, or pro-Soviet communists. Snyder's main sources are in
Polish and Ukrainian, in hard-to-find books and articles. Furr's conclusion:
Every single allegation of Soviet / Stalin "crimes" is false! Soviet History of
the Stalin period must be completely rewritten!
He will also share his research on what really happened in: The Famine of
1932-33; the "Polish Operation"; the "Great Terror"; the Molotov-Ribbentrop
Pact; the "Soviet invasion of Poland"; the "Katyn Massacre"; the Warsaw
Uprising; and "Stalin's Anti-Semitism."
Professor Furr will sell and sign copies of his new book and his previous
books "Khrushchev Lied" and The" Murder of Sergei Kirov."
