It's not just "discussing the atrocities", it lists a bunch of ludicrous and deeply offensive propaganda clichés, some Cold War era, some downright Goebbels. Okay, the given number of "executed political prisoners" is 20 times more than even in the books of Soviet dissidents with the richest imagination and reaches half of the population of the USSR, okay "Holodomor", the existence of which is a debatable historical fact, since the famine was in Russia at the same moment, for example, in the Volga region, as well as in other countries of Eastern Europe, but for some reason only Ukrainian politicians use this famine for political purposes
But "2 million raped (German) women in World War II"! I can throw up my hands in annoyance at the previous points, but this is absolutely outrageous. Not a single sane historian in any country has ever considered this as the truth, there has never been any evidence of this, finally, even a novice military theorist knows perfectly well that an army distracted by rape (especially on such a scale) loses all combat effectiveness and discipline, and will be defeated by the enemy in the shortest possible time, so that any attempts at such a command are forced to stop, if not out of respect for German women, then at least out of a desire to win the war. And yet no "communism" or other ideology is capable of pushing people to rape on such a scale, it's just a Russophobic, misanthropic statement about "Russian pigs dreaming of raping European women" straight from Goebbels' repertoire.
The author hypocritically placed the book's dedication to "victims of capitalism and communism around the world" only to immediately reproduce one of the most inhuman, gruesome lies ever created by propagandists in a capitalist state, and a non-capitalist one too.
Absolutely disgusting.
