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?
The little I read about the author from Wikipedia or whatever it seems like they were a soviet camp guard that was tasked by the government with documenting life in the camps, but they were only tasked with that because they were already doing it on their own... it could really go either way on whether they're a fascist sympathizer or not without more info.
