Would you recommend any other Stalin reading as essential before Losurdo's take?

I haven't read much in detail about Stalin to be honest, but I am wary of starting reading about him with a polemic (but then, all history is polemic - so, idk).

I actually expected it to be a lot more of a polemic than it was tbh

I genuinely think it's better to read that one first. It was revelatory for me.

Otherwise, Getty's Origins of the Great Purges or Furr's Khrushchev Lied.
