1937. The main myth of the XX century: Dmitry Lyskov

“The terrible 1937”, “Big Terror”, “Horror of the Gulag”, “One hundred million dead”, “Crime of the century” …
This demonized image of the “damned Stalin era” has been intensively imposed on public consciousness for more than half a century. This black myth poisons minds and hearts. This topic is still cracking in Russian society – those who unconditionally condemn the “Stalinist repressions”, and those who are looking for them, if not an excuse, then an explanation.
This book is an attempt to understand the problem of great terror objectively and impartially, without resorting to ritual curses, avoiding ideological stamps, not falling into hysteria, relying not on emotions, rumors and speculations, but on documents and facts.
