DESCRIPTION:Exposing The Anti-Stalin Myths Of Cold War –"Blood Lies" By Grover 
 Furr\nSunday,  July 20, 12.30-3.30 PM\nNiebyl Proctor Marxist Library\n6501 
 Telegraph Ave (at 65th St.), Oakland\n\nGrover Furr  will speak about his 
 latest book, "Blood Lies: The Evidence that Every Accusation against Joseph 
 Stalin and the Soviet Union in Timothy Snyder’s 'Bloodlands' Is False."  
 (Red Star Press, 2014)\n\nTimothy Snyder, a full professor of Eastern 
 European history at Yale, has written two dozen articles for leading 
 intellectual journals such as the NY Review of Books. He recently published 
 "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin" (N.Y: Basic Books, 2010).  
 This book is by far the most widespread attempt to date to equate Stalin 
 with Hitler, and the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany. It has garnered rave 
 reviews in literally dozens of newspapers and journals; received prizes for 
 historiography; and has been translated into more than 25 languages. 
 \n\nProfessor Tim Snyder has little to say about the Nazis. His main target 
 is Stalin, Soviet policy, and communists generally. His broader claim is 
 that the Soviets killed 6 to 9 million innocent civilians while the Nazis 
 were killing about 14 million. Snyder finds parallels between Soviet and 
 Nazi crimes at every turn.\n\nProfessor Grover Furr has spent two years 
 methodically checking every single footnote, every reference to anything 
 that could be construed as a crime by Stalin, the USSR, or pro-Soviet 
 communists. Snyder’s main sources are in Polish and Ukrainian, in 
 hard-to-find books and articles. Furr’s conclusion: Every single 
 allegation of Soviet / Stalin “crimes” is false!  Soviet History of the 
 Stalin period must be completely rewritten!\n\nHe will also share his 
 research on what really happened in: The Famine of 1932-33; the “Polish 
 Operation”; the “Great Terror”; the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact; the 
 “Soviet invasion of Poland”; the “Katyn Massacre”; the Warsaw 
 Uprising; and “Stalin’s Anti-Semitism.”\n\nProfessor Furr will sell 
 and sign copies of his new book and his previous books "Khrushchev Lied" 
 and The" Murder of Sergei Kirov."\n\nGrover Furr’s Home Page, with many
