    I mean Kotkin not being Furr is a plus in his favor. I'd say Lenin certainly considered it and probably would have done so if not for his stroke, but that it doesn't mean much since the citation is iffy and Lenin certainly didn't remove Stalin from power before he died. He 100% could have wanted to, but well if wishes were horses

      Yeah, that's why I mentioned it, if it was something by Furr it'd be more easily dismissed, but Kotkin seems to be a respected historian in western circles.
