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?
Yeah I definitely get what you’re saying. I think the best thing we can do now is learn from the past and try not to make the same mistakes in the future. Also, as an American, I definitely find myself sometimes treating the USSR more like a meme or theoretical exercise than a real place that had a real effect on peoples’ lives, and I’m sorry if my original response came off as being insensitive (I just think the emoji is funny lol).
