A number of authors have carried out comparisons of Nazism and Stalinism, in which they have considered the issues of whether the two ideologies were similar or different, how these conclusions affect understanding of 20th century history, what relationship existed between the two regimes, and why both of them came to prominence at the same time.
 The answers to all these questions are disputed.
 During the 20th century, the comparison of Stalinism and Nazism was made on the topics of totalitarianism, ideology, and personality.
 Both regimes were seen in contrast to the liberal West, with an emphasis on the similarities between the two, while their differences from each other were minimized.
 Political theorists like Hannah Arendt, Carl Friedrich and American geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski were prominent advocates of this "totalitarian" interpretation.
The Anatomy of Revolution is a book by Crane Brinton outlining the "uniformities" of four major political revolutions: the English Revolution of the 1640s, the American, the French, and the 1917 Russian Revolution.
 Brinton notes how the revolutions followed a life-cycle from the Old Order to a moderate regime to a radical regime, to Thermidorian reaction.
 The book has been called "classic, "famous" and a "watershed in the study of revolution," and has been influential enough to have inspired advice given to US President Jimmy Carter by his National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski during the Iranian Revolution.
Sir Halford John Mackinder PC (15 February 1861 – 6 March 1947) was an English geographer, academic, politician, the first Principal of University Extension College, Reading (which became the University of Reading) and Director of the London School of Economics, who is regarded as one of the founding fathers of both geopolitics and geostrategy.
The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives (1997) is one of the major works of Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Zbigniew Kazimierz "Zbig" Brzezinski ( ; ] ; March 28, 1928 – May 26, 2017) was a Polish-American diplomat and political scientist.

The Seventy Years Declaration was a declaration initiated by academics Dovid Katz and Danny Ben-Moshe and released on 20 January 2012 to protest against the policies of several European states and European Union bodies on the evaluation, remembrance and prosecution of crimes committed under communist dictatorships in Europe, specifically policies of many European countries and the EU treating the Nazi and Stalinist regimes in Eastern and Central Europe as equally criminal.
 Presented as a response to the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism initiated by the Czech government in 2008 to condemn communism as totalitarian and criminal, it explicitly rejects the idea that the regimes of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler can be compared, i.e. the totalitarianism theory that was popularized by academics such as Hannah Arendt, Carl Friedrich and Zbigniew Brzezinski and became dominant in western political discourse during the Cold War, and that has gained new momentum in many new EU member states following the fall of communism, resulting in international resolutions, establishment of research institutes and museums, and a day of remembrance.
 The declaration also claims communist regimes did not commit genocides, citing a 1948 definition that deliberately excluded politically motivated mass killings as demanded by the Soviet Union when it was adopted.
 More recent definitions do however include such crimes, and e.g. The Holodomor is recognized as a genocide by the United States, Ukraine and other countries.
 The declaration advances the position that the Holocaust was "unique" as compared to other genocides, a subject of some debate.
 This position first appeared in discourse in 1967, but does not figure in scholarship of the Holocaust, has become less common since the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and was described as a "vacuous" and "deeply offensive" position by Peter Novick.
 The declaration was signed by 70, mostly left-wing, parliamentarians from Europe (MEPs and national MPs).
 It was released on the 70th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference in Berlin.
