Episode 24: Combating Tankie Denialism: Specialist in Soviet History Rebuts Grover Furr

The co-hosts interview Lesley Rimmel, a historian specializing in Stalin-era Russia. They discuss claims by Grover Furr––a hero among pro-Stalinist (“tankie”) youth––that the mass repression campaign of the 1930s was a rogue anti-government operation and that Stalin persistently attempted to democratize the USSR. They then discuss how to fight this and other forms of denialism.
