I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GOING CRAZY BUT IT’S JUST THE WORLD.

But the “positive history” version of Stalin’s Terror is truly frightening. From 1925 to 1953, millions of people were killed on Stalin’s command — which is why Trotsky called him “the gravedigger of the revolution”. Some were shot, some were tortured and died, some perished of hunger and cold in the gulag. No one knows how many died because objective historians have found it difficult if not impossible to gain access to the secret police archives, but the estimates of Terror victims killed range from three million to more than 20 million.

How does the “positive history” book cover this? It quotes one number for people killed — specifically, those condemned to death: 786,000.

Sweeney: “Where does it say in your book that millions died in Stalin’s Terror?”

Filippov: “Let’s have a look. Here is the bit about the repressions, and it is spread over three pages.”

Sweeney: “So 786,000 were condemned to death. Where does it say that millions died? It’s not there, is it?”

Filippov appeared to search for a reference, in vain.

You know? Where that dude decided to re-write Russian history in which the British were totally cool with the Nazi’s and then Russia pretty much saved the world in 1914 or something? Is everything I just typed wrong? Is this old news?
