The Soviet Union and the Stalin Question
Is it true that millions of people were murdered by the Bolsheviks?
Was Stalin really an ally of Hitler at one time? Did Stalin betray
the revolution? Was Stalin a butcher? What is the difference between
Trotskyism and Marxism-Leninism? What is Revisionism? What about the
Bolsheviks like Bukharin & Zinoviev?
If you struggle with any of these question, or if you want to debate
these issues, you are going to want to participate in this study
course.
