Searching for this results in unsourced claims about an underage rual girl called Lidya Pereprygina he supposedly had sexual relations with while in exile, and wierdass sex stories involving Stalin 🤢

Good thing we can direct our anger at him for all eternity instead of the western governments filled with deathcult fascist Pedos!

Wikipedia says he's a historian, but he's literally just a journalist who took whatever any random person told him about Stalin as fact. He's responsible for most of the modern myths about him.

anticommunist journalist LARPing as a historian

Ah, that’s what we call in the biz an “applebaum”

You'd think we'd learn after David Irving to do a better job verifying if a person is an actual historian or just some kook. Of course, if liberals had object permanence, they wouldn't be liberals.

Seriously tho it's asinine you can't call yourself a doctor or lawyer without being an actual doctor or lawyer, yet you can call yourself a historian, scientist, engineer, or journalist with zero qualifications. I suppose that's what the title of "doctor" is for (doctor of history). It just amazes me how many dipshits are out there with barely an undergraduate degree calling themselves experts.
