Yeah I mean I'm not shocked that a Cato Institute historian has no interest in defending the Bolsheviks; however, it's definitely effective in dispelling a piece of Nazi propaganda that's been repeated for the last 80 years.
Certainly, I'm as red as it gets and I still cringe when I read people blaming the famine on "kulaks" who owned something like ~2 acres of farmland & a cow.

Kotkin is like the only major historian that actually read the archives so he's all we got for now.
Why is that the case? Do other historians not have access to the archives?
