About the book: 2012 / “The terrible year of 1937”, “the horrors of the Gulag”, “one hundred million dead”... This demonized image of the “damned Stalinist era” has been intensively imposed on the public consciousness for now more than half a century. This lie has been hammered into our heads since school. This black myth poisons minds and hearts. And any attempt to understand the problem of repression objectively and impartially is met with hysteria from the “liberal” press, persecution of those undesirable, and, recently, also a demand to legislatively prohibit “denial of the crimes of the Stalinist regime” under the threat of expulsion from government service, or even a prison sentence. Despite all prohibitions and “democratic” censorship, this book explores one of the greatest and tragic eras of our history, relying not on emotions, rumors and speculation, but on documents and facts that irrefutably prove that the real scale of Stalin’s repressions, as well as the numbers of victims, are inflated by anti-Soviet propaganda a HUNDRED TIMES!
