“Read Stephen Kotkins Stalin Vols 1 & 2 for a dar more trenchant and less fanciful account of Stains rise and reign. The podcast lacks any insight into Stalin’s worldview and the reasons for his mass murder paving the way for the wholesale replacement of the party leadership, unforgivable given that Stalin wrote volumes explaining his actions, whilst many Politburo meetings were minuted. Perhaps the podcasters are unwilling to confront the reality that Socialism can only be forced into being through massive violence.”
