* "You didn't provide a document, you provide a reference to a book by Grover Furr."
Wrong. I directly quoted a source document. * "You might as well produce Bukharin's confession; or the indictments of Zinoviev and Kamenev by Yezhov. What is the source document that has some verification from a source outside the Great Leader's secret police?" Furr and Bobrov deal head-on with the summary judgment that no confession can ever be used as evidence. They summarize how historians evaluate confessions. This is quoted in a review of their new book. The review of Trotsky’s Comintern Conspiracy: The Case of Osip Pyatnitsky is at https://newworker.us/theory-history/trotskys-comintern-conspiracy-the-case-of-osip-pyatnitsky/ See the section "How to Use Confessions." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
