You gave me a link, to a site with more links, etc. My admittedly cursory review reveals that the major complaint was that Conquest was too reliant on the testimony of emigres, who were impliedly anti-Stalinist. By itself, that is a not very compelling criticism. All I ask is for you to state in your own words a single fact alleged by Conquest where you believe the competing evidence is more compelling and shows Conquest was wrong.

He wrote on the subject for 50 years with his reputation intact at his death..." Mainstream professional historians have rejected conclusions by Conquest as well as his method. They have avoided putting his professional reputation on the line because of his dominance of the field, which is entangled with the pressure on academics to keep anti-Soviet, anti-Stalin propaganda alive. But we go in circles; you were given citations and references at a link I already posted: http://www.stalinsociety.org/2015/08/05/grover-furr-on-robert-conquest/ _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l ____________________________________________________ Information contained in this e-mail transmission may be privileged, confidential and covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C.
