Yeah the soviet century is a great overview. Yeah downplaying the Holodomor really does not jive with the internal party documents we have from the period, same with the purges. And the contextualization of Khrushchev's destalinization is like classic bs from the anti Khrushchev communist orgs in the UK in the 1950s, it's not informed by actual data or internal party documents.
I have The Soviet Century by Lewin, would you recommend it as a general overview?
Also, because I'm curious, what are the most obvious inaccuracies present? I'm assuming the downplaying of the Holodomor.
Also here's a good talk on the period https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbNy30GyxVU
