EVERYONE lies, distorts, exaggerates, especially AUTHORITARIAN LEADERS. (Who’s going to stop them? At least in democracy you can vote them out). If you think the USSR and its leaders didn’t do that you live in a fantasy world.
And I will put my trust in where experts can speak freely, while recognising their bias. Not a country that silences every dissent because it’s going to disrupt security.
The secret speech was an indictment by the very same leaders of USSR of the terror and paranoia Stalin created in Soviet Russia. They understood the ramifications of it and hated what he had done to the nation.
Oh and the facts about the purges and gulags were corroborated by historians who got access to the Soviet archives in the 90s.
So unless the soviets were secretly forging millions of documents to further their enemies’ agenda, the call is coming from inside the house.
This is almost entirely anti-communist propaganda. Don’t believe the capitalists when they talk about socialism. They lie, distort and exaggerate.
