I’ve got a soft spot for “Dialectical and Historical Materialism” (though I can’t claim I understand it all), but I remember liking the letter where he admonishes a comrade for calling themself a “Stalinist”. I wish I could remember which one that was!
I like his writing style, and the way he lays his points out. There’s still a lot in the archive for me to read!
There are significant amount of evidence it has been done by Germans, and the chief evidence for USSR fault is forgery from Yeltsin times. Not to mention all post Stalin govts in USSR and especially bourgeoisie Russia have a big motive in keeping the soviet blame version - which, unsurprisingly, originated straight from Goebbels.
Also, even if they really did it, there’s the factor @simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml mention, that very narrative is super classist and historically disingenous considering how quick Germans were forgiven for holocaust and how friendly our country is now with literal banderite neonazis. I think nobody would care for Katyn today if it was not used as foundation of russophobia in Poland.
Don’t spread misinformation. There’s one history agreed on. Russian history is a fantasy one.

How do you reconcile your two positions?
He don’t. What 30 years of uniform propaganda do to a mf.
I consider Russian regime historians more as fantasy writers than real historians.
Were you lying when you said you “base on history agreed by historians all over the world.”?
Are you the only one who approves who is a historian?
If your position is agreed on only by every historian who agrees with you, why do you assume it’s universal?
If you had ever taken any history class beyond a high school level you would know that this is not, nor has it ever been, true, for ANY period of history EVER
