It is not uncommon to find someone defending their position on Soviet History with the idea they are simply reporting from the archives, but how you cut documents and what documents you pick can really change what story you are telling, same thing with how many people will cut up J. Arch Getty's works so much so that in some leftist circles he is dismissed as a "tankie historian". I wanted to show how espressostalinist, and anyone else pulling this document or these pages from Road to Terror are distorting the original document and Getty's work. 


Page numbers are shown/mentioned in the video, i do plan on uploading a script, but I actually ended up drifting from the script so the script now has to be edited to match the video, but also my internet is down tonight and i only managed to get this uploaded via LTE on my phone, I will get my website and script uploaded tomorrow. 


This is also my first video making use of the new graphics that were made by

In retrospect I perhaps should have included the URL to my website with the icon least as a part of the intro, not sure. 


Also sorry for the few month gap in videos, personal life is busy, I am hoping I can get a good few out during the remainder of the year.
