About The Book:

• This book critically examines Nikita Khrushchev's famous speech at the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party in 1956, where he accused the late Joseph Stalin of grave crimes. Khrushchev's speech, which was pivotal in damaging the global communist movement, continues to have a lasting impact.

• However, how truthful were Khrushchev's allegations? This book delves into the validity of those accusations, especially with the release of numerous Soviet archival documents since the 1990s, providing a basis for a more accurate, evidence-based discussion.

• Grover Ferr, a professor at Montclair State University in the United States and a historian of Soviet Union affairs, has been researching Soviet history since the 1970s. In this book, he scrutinizes primary sources and proves that most of Khrushchev's allegations were false. There is only one instance where the truth could not be conclusively determined.

• The book provides a detailed analysis of each of Khrushchev's claims, backed by thorough source references, allowing cautious researchers and curious readers to verify each statement's truthfulness.

• This work adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate about Stalin's legacy and sheds light on the distortion of historical facts in Soviet politics.
