"You ask: how did the West manage to turn Stalin from world-respected statesman to the mythical monster haunting the imagination of hapless gullibles to this day?
The answer is: Kruscev's 1956 "Secret Report," revealed by Mossad to US State Department and accepted as unimpeachable source by Western intellectuals and US regime historians from Isaac Deutscher to Hannah Arendt through Robert Conquest down to little Timothy Snyder of our very own days.
Kruscev's "Secret Report" was a pack of lies, exposed and discredited as such by historians based on evidence in the Kremlin archives released after 1991. One egregious example: Kruscev's claimed Stalin went into a shocked panic when the Nazis invaded the USSR, unable to function and unavailable for consultation to his general staff. Not true: registry of meetings of Kremlin on June 22 1941, available to historians to consult since 1991, shows that Stalin was at the Kremlin and planning the resistance to the invasion with top officials and generals. And so for all the other counter-revolutionary Kruscev's lies that served Western interests--the man who had saved Europe from the Nazis by his leadership of the Red Army and the Soviet people became a monster on the par with Hitler in Western capitalist mythology. ~ Luciana Bohne
