Some rabid anti-communist told be to read this book as proof of a Soviet genocide in Ukraine.
I did a quick search and saw it being passed around and referenced in anti-communists circles like /r/ENOUGHCOMMIESPAM, but I haven't seen any leftist evaluations of this book or this author. So is anyone familiar with this, and how seriously should I take it?
On the second look 14 mil point turned up to be Conquest, lol. Soviet data is from 0.5 to 2.5 mil in camps at any one time. That doesn't sound that bad but might sum up to those 10+ number anyway.
The NKVD was pretty heavy handed in their purges
