DEar Calvin, Greetings. You can check with the moderator on this one, but Carr has written extensively on this subject.  The problem that I find with his  works is that it includes about 3 or 4 volumes of history!  But a few people have comment that his  version is objective and closer to the

Thanks Frankenstein580, I am very grateful for your response. I have read Carr and also the excellent short course. What do people think of Getty, Davies, Naumov, Thurston, Fitzpatrick and other so-called revisionist anti-communist historians of the USSR? Thurston's work is very good, in my

Dear Kale, Yes, I've read Getty, Naumov, Thurston, Davis  Their research and revelations  have been a tremendous vindication, serendipitously, if I may, or perhaps inadvertently, of comrade Stalin and the dictatorship of the proletariat.  They don't seem to be revolutionary communists to
