"Trotsky's Lies: What They Are, and What They Mean." Presentation at the 7th World Socialism Forum, World Socialism Research Center, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), October 22, 2016.

09.22.16 - Les Amalgames de Trotsky, the French translation of my book Trotsky's 'Amalgams' (see below) is published by Editions Delga, Paris.

05.31.2016 - Tamil translation of my book Khrushchev Lied  is published in India by Ponnugalam Pathipagan Publishers, Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu.
Available at these bookstores in India: Marina Books ; Books - Dinamalar ; Keetru.com.

05.12.2016 - My article "Stalin, etc.," a critical review of recent research on the Stalin period, is published in Theory and Struggle 117 (May 2016), journal of the Marx Memorial Library in London U.K.

12.15.2015 - My book Trotsky’s “Amalgams.” Trotsky's Lies, The Moscow Trials As Evidence, The Dewey Commission. (Trotsky's Conspiracies of the 1930s, Volume One). Kettering OH: Erythros Press & Media LLC, 2015.
Based on archival evidence, this book reveals that Leon Trotsky lied in virtually all his writings about the Soviet Union and Stalin after the end of 1934.
His deliberate falsifications, which were designed to protect his conspoiracies within the USSR, were assumed to be his real views then and ever since.

11.06.2015 - My critique of Professor Stephen Cohen's remarks in an interview with RT.COM on November 1, 2013. Cohen retails some of the more common lies of "the anti-Stalin paradigm." He and other anticommunists "believe" them but that does not in the least mean that they are true. My critique here is based on the best evidence available and shows that Cohen is not only biased, but wrong.

09.10.2015 - My book Le Massacre de Katyn. Une réfutation de la version " officielle "? published in September, 2015 by Editions Delga, Paris.
Available at Amazon.fr/ for 10 Euros. A flyer in PDF format describing my book is here. Give it to librarians and bookstores!

01.18.10 - Furr and Bobrov, "Bukharin's Last Plea: Yet Another Anti-Stalin Falsifiication." In this article we trace the story of a note supposedly found in Stalin's desk after his death in which Bukharin supposedly wrote: "Koba, why is my death necessary for you?"

We prove that this and a couple of related stories, which originate with Roy Medvedev, are fabrications -- in plain English, falsehoods. (For the "canonical", i.e. unquestioned and completely mendacious version of this story see, for example, Robert Service, Stalin. A Biography. Cambridge: Belknap Press 2005, p. 592. We quote this in the article itself.)

The Russian version of this article was published in February 2009 in the Russian language online history journal "Aktual'naia Istoriia" ("Current History", Home Page http://actualhistory.ru/ ). It has since been reprinted here (in Russian), on the "Stalinism.ru" webpage. In addition, the Russian editors of this online journal inserted some good graphics! All in all, a creditable job of publishing.

01.15.10 - "Baberowski's Falsification" is a short article I wrote about the dishonesty of a leading German anticommunist researcher on the Stalin period in the USSR. Joerg Baberowski is a professor at Humboldt University in Berlin publishes widely in both academic and popular media.
Falsifications like the one I point out here would get a US professor disciplined, or at least publically embarrassed -- if writing about, say, American history. But in Soviet history, "anything goes" as long as it's anticommunist. Thanks once again to Patrice Greanville, editor and publisher of Cyrano's Journal, for publishing it.
It's also available here, on my own site. Or just copy and paste www.tinyurl.com/baberowski into your browser's window!
04.24.12 - The article is still there, but the link doesn't work! I don't know why, but if you copy and paste this URL - http://www.cjournal.info/2010/01/11/baberowski's-falsification/ - into your browser window, you'd get the article. Or, just go to the version on my own Home Page (above).

Vladimir L. Bobrov, "The Secret of Ordzhonikidze's Death" (Russian). This is an excellent piece of sleuthing and research by Vladimir. My English translation is here.  The Russian version is also available here, on the Kara-Murza site.

My article in The Montclarion of December 3, 2009 on cutbacks as strategy to lower real wages.

11.20.09 - "Alternative Versions of the Katyn Shooting" (Russian). This is a much more objective account than the super-anticommunist main page. There's also an older "alternative" account that was originally on the Russian Wikipedia site.. It was removed -- censored by the Russian language Wikipedia. It's more than a year old now and so out of date. I don't like censorship, so here it is.

(NOTE: This article is more complete than my older (2007-2008) article "Sense and Nonsense About the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939", so I have removed the link to this older article.]

05.09.09 - "HISTORY REVISITED: The truth about the death of Oliver Law", in Cyrano's Journal Online for May 9 2009.
This is a reprint of my article "Anatomy of an Anticommunist Fabrication: The Death of Oliver Law, An Historiographical Investigation" (originally published in reconstruction 8:1 in March '08 -- see below). Thanks to the editors for the very supportive introductory and other remarks!

05.09.09 - Tomsk State Pedagogical University has put my book on its list of "Supplementary Readings" for its degree candidates in Russian History! There are five "required" readings, all textbooks. Of the 53 "supplementary readings" there are only five by non-Russians: three by Italians and two by Americans, of which I'm one.

• Here's my English translation of this review.

Refutation of yet another anticommunist lie by Ludwik Kowalski. A retired physicist, Kowalski knows fluent Russian but chooses to repeat any anti-Stalin lies he finds rather than do any research, though he knows very well how to do it.

"Mikhail Kol'tsov and the Evidence". A post to the ALBA (Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives) list of November 5, 2008. An anticommunist reviewer at The Economist shows no interest in the evidence or the truth.

Furr and Bobrov, "Nikolai Bukharin's First Statement of Confession in the Lubianka" in English translation, in the 2007 issue of Cultural Logic. This is an excellent issue of an important American Marxist journal and we're proud to be in it. (See below for the Russian original published in March '07.)

Somebody created a Wikipedia page on me. That's wikipedia.ru, the Russian version. They got a few things wrong, so I made the corrections.
(My thanks to my Moscow colleague and fellow researcher Vladimir L. Bobrov, who informed me 06.30.08). Wikipedia.ru uses Cyrillic letters in the filename part of the URL. If you can't get to this page, let me know and I'll correct it.

A very positive Review of my book Antistalinskaia Podlost' by historian Sergei Semanov in the journal Russkii Vestnik March 13, 2008. (Echoed at my publisher's website here). And here's another version of the same review, a bit longer, by Semanov in the journal Slovo of April 4 2008.

• July 2010: reprinted at Proza.ru.

Semanov is a prolific historian born in 1934, journal editor, has worked with the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences (Soviet), now associated with the Institue of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A list of more than a dozen of his works of history now in print is available here, at the site of Ozon.ru, a major Russian online bookstore.

"Anatomy of an Anticommunist Fabrication: The Death of Oliver Law, An Historiographical Investigation." In Reconstruction 8.1. (Published March 19, 2008.)

Oliver Law was, for four days in July 1937, commander of the Lincoln Battalion and the first black man to command white American troops. He died as a hero in battle, shot while leading a charge against the fascist forces on July 9, 1937. The essay examines how the late William Herrick fabricated a false story -- really, a couple of them -- about the death of Oliver Law, and how others, especially Cecil Eby, have abetted the falsification. It is a case study in historical falsification for anticommunist purposes.

Review of Cecil Eby, Comrades and Commissars. The Lincoln Battalion in the Spanish Civil War. Published in The Volunteer. Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Vol.XXIV, No. 4 (December 2007), p. 19. Also in HTML here.

Home page for my book, Antistalinskaia Podlost' -- roughly, "Anti-Stalinist Villany" --  published by "Algoritm" publishers in Moscow, in Russian.

The publisher insisted on the title, which echoes that of a book published a few years back that sold very well. The English title -- mine --  is:
"Khrushchev Lied: The Evidence That Every "Revelation" of Stalin's (and Beria's) "Crimes" in Nikita Khrushchev's Infamous "Secret Speech" to the 20th Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on February 25, 1956, is Provably False. *
There's a link at the bottom of the page for interested readers to download an analytical chapter omitted from the published version. Or, just go here.

05.11.08 - My book now scanned and PDF'd on the web. I don't know who did it! But it must be a compliment. And, it has the potential to spread the book more widely, so Spasibo, tovarishch, whoever you are. In ZIP format.

• The ZIP'd version has now been added to the "Stalinism.ru" webpage of books on Stalin.

• My whole book scanned into HTML and put on the web here. Also here.

• Also here - both PDF and rar - doc formats. And here (PDF). And here, as Torrents (PDF).

• On the web page by page at the X-Libri site (in Russian). Just click on a page icon and that page comes up. Very interesting presentation.

04.16.08 - The final chapter from the book, put on the web by the publisher (PDF format, in Russian - for HTML, see a few lines above).

Humble thanks to my colleague, editor and translator Vladimir Bobrov of Moscow, without whom I would never have undertaken, much less completed, this job!

  Page from Russian reader's blog of Feb. 18, 2008, praising my book. Mr Pokrovsky says he emailed me to thank me, and he did! A fine guy -- thanks, Mr. Pokrovsky!

07.15.2008 - A fine recommendation for my book in an article by Leonid Zhura in IUrii Mukhin's journal Duel':

"One does not require archival research in order to refute the slanders of the illiterate Khrushchev at the 20th Party Congress concerning the supposed 'cult of personality of Stalin' and 'unfounded repressions' ... Grover Furr, in his book 'Antistalinskaia Podlost'', has exposed this personage especially well."

05.17.2008 -   A nice compliment for my book on a Russian discussion blog:

"Slava, did you get the book by Grover Furr, "Antistalinskaia podlost'"?
Yes, Lionia. It's a good book... I did not expect that from a foreign author."

January 10 2008: Accuracy in Academia names me "Scholar of the Year"!
What they really mean is "worst scholar of the year." But what that means is: They disagree with me. Yes, "conservatives" do not care about the truth. They only care whether you "promote their 'party line'".
Though conservatives attack Postmodernists for denying objective reality, the conservatives themselves pretend it doesn't exist. Of course -- because reality is very different from what they say it is! So I really am honored they think me the "worst". (Also here, as a PDF file).

• February '08 - AinA puts me on pages one and five of their February newsletter. Download it here, or here.

Horowitz-Stalin Controversy, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review March - May 2006.
David Horowitz isn't interested in the truth, and neither are his defenders. This exchange in Richard Mellon Scaife's conservative newspaper demonstrates this. (For more detail about how this happened, see "Academic Repression in the First Person", also linked below).

• The URLs for the original articles (still all on the web as of September 13, 2007)

• The whole exchange in one PDF file.

• Also at the "Delo Stalina" (= "Stalin's Cause") site.
• Also at "Khlebnikov's Workers' University"

Remarks on the Moscow Trials, on Evidence, and Objectivity. I wrote this in June 2006 to answer inaccurate criticisms by a young radical who has, however, been influenced by Cold War anticommunist falsehoods. Since we have all been so influenced, to one degree or another, I think it may be useful to others.

Interview of me by Carl Miller, plus a few other things of mine (I think...) translated into Japanese! (English interview also here, at this Spanish site).

Exchange on the Katyn Massacre evidence. Mr. Sergey Romanov put our email exchange online despite the fact I refused to give him permission to do so. Well, there it is! So I will make the best of it and put a link here. Maybe Romanov is right, and the exchange "makes me look bad"? You be the judge!

• Mr Romanov refers to a page I wrote on Katyn to help people who ask me for something short about it. I changed the URL when I edited it; this is the new one.

"Did George Washington Turn Down An Offer To Be A King? The Story Behind the Myth." A student in one of my classes mentioned this story. I told her I'd never verified it, and set out to do so. Here's the result (March 2007)

A Masters Thesis in History by one Jason Foster, accepted at Texas Tech U. in August 2006, contains lies about an essay of mine on the Vietnam War. Here is my reply: "A Critique of Jason Everitt Foster's Thoroughly Dishonest Comments on an Essay by Grover Furr." (February 2007)

The Editors of the CUNY Graduate Center Advocate invited me to write an article on Academic Freedom and David Horowitz's stupid attack on me and others. I wrote  "Academic Repression in the First Person: Lies, Damn Lies, and David Horowitz" for their November 2006 issue. Thanks, people! (Here in PDF)

• Professor Tim Shortell (Sociology, Brooklyn College of CUNY) manages the "Teachers For Democracy" page. He has put up a link to my article in The Advocate, and has also posted, in PDF format, the whole text, including the portions cut out in the print edition. Thanks, Tim!
