I've only read Khrushchev Lied, so can't comment on all his work. It's very well cited. I've noticed I rarely see anybody actually criticize the content. They just point out that he is a professor of Medieval lit and not of history, it seems like bourgeois credentialism worship to me. One can write good history without being a professor of it, or even being in academia at all. And lets be honest, you aren't getting anything pro-Stalin published in a western academic press lmao.
