10.13.09 - In celebration of the life of my son Joe, on his 29th birthday. I spoke these words at the memorial service for Joe on February 7, 2009.
04.18.12 - "I Protest the Appearance
of Professor Timothy Snyder!" Snyder, author of Bloodlands,
spoke at Kean University on April 17 2012. Snyder may be the most blatant falsifier of
history now active in mainstream academia! I distributed this leaflet to all those in
attendance. Frankly, even I was shocked to see how Snyder blithely mouthed lie after lie
about Soviet history, propagating the historical misrepresentations of Ukrainian and
Polish nationalist, anti-Semites and participants in the Holocaust.
04.01.12 - "Learning
from the Communist Movement of the 20th Century. A Response to Richard Rubin." Platypus
Review #45 (April 2012). My thanks to the Platypus editors who consented to
publish this essay of mine which is strongly critical of one main trend in their movement!
03.20.12 - "Marshal S.M. Budiennyi on the Tukhachevsky
Trial. Impressions of an Eye-Witness" (in Russian). Klio No. 2 (2012),
pp. 8-24.
This is an edition of Budiennyi's letter to Voroshilov 2 weeks after the June 12, 1937
Tukhachevsky trial (the "Tukhachevsky Affair."). This letter is still top-secret
in Russia today -- presumably because it is very powerful
evidence that Tukhachevsky and the other military figures were guilty. About five years
ago I found this document in the Volkogonov Archive, Library of Congress. My colleague
Vladimir Bobrov and I have published it with a detailed introduction in which we discuss
its history and the previous references to it (all of them wrong, some deliberately
misleading).
Budiennyi, who was a member of the Military Tribunal that tried Tukhachevsky and seven other high-ranking officers associated with the Marshal's conspiracy, wrote detailed impressions about the trial in the form of a letter to Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, People's Commissar for Defense. Budiennyi's letter provides strong evidence that Tukhachevsky and the rest were guilty not only of conspiracy themselves but of conspiring with Germany against the USSR. It also provides strong evidence that Leon Trotsky conspired with Germany.
The trial transcript is still top-secret in Russia today.
03.20.12 - "The Moscow Trials and
the "Great Terror" of 1937-1938: What the Evidence Shows." (Written

05.11.10 - Response to Mahir Ali, "The Ghosts of Triumphs and Tragedies Past", Dawn (Pakistan). Mahir Ali is some kind of Trotskyist "cultist".. But many honest people believe the falsehoods Ali repeats, so this may be of some interest.

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

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.

I read an earlier version of this paper at the summer 2009 institute of the Marxist Literary Group at Portland State University. Many thanks to Cyrano's editors!
(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.
04.08.09 - "Anti-Stalinist Villany" Praised In Book By Russian Historian. Russian historian IUrii Emel'ianov has devoted a nice paragraph in his recent book to my own book. The Russian original and the English translation are both here.

A very positive review of my book on a Russian-language history blog! Thanks to "aberrationist" for this incisive, critical, and supportive review. Spasibo, 'Aberrationist'!
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.
"The Sixty-One Untruths of Nikita Khrushchev" -- Interview of me by Literaturnaia Rossiia, issue No. 24 for June 13, 2008. Also available here (PDF)
Now (May 2010) reprinted at Newsland.ru.
One reader calls me a "nastoiashchii muzhik" (a "real peasant",
i.e. good lad). Spasibo vsem!This is a weekly writers' publication. It used to be put out by the Moscow branch of the Soviet Writers' Union, and is now independent. According to its own webpage, it has a print circulation of 19,650. Let's hope every one of them buys a copy of my book! Many, many thanks to my wonderful colleague Vladimir L. Bobrov of Moscow for arranging this!

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).

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).
Furr and Bobrov, "Pervye priznatel'nye pokazaniia N.I. Bukharina na Lubianke." Klio No. 1 (2007). Introductory article to our publication of Nikolai Bukharin's previously unpublished confession of June 2, 1937.
Furr and Bobrov, eds. "Lichnye pokazaniia N. Bukharina." Klio (St. Petersburg), No. 1 (2007). Nikolai Bukharin's first confession, of June 2, 1937. Never before published and still unavailable to scholars in Russia.
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)
"Stalin and Support for the Spanish Republic." Letter to The Volunteer, March 2005, with response by Prof. Gabriel Jackson.
"Communism and Anti-Semitism -- A Rejoinder." This email of mine to several mailing lists was reprinted by Revolutionary Democracy, a communist journal in India, and in part in Challenge and Desafio (August 16, 2006) of the Progressive Labor Party (USA).
A young man named "Celticfire" did an email-interview with me in June 2006, and posted it in two parts on his fine Maoist blog Celticfire. Here are the links to this interview. Part I at the top of the page, and Part II about half-way down. My thanks to you, Celticfire! (Also available here, in PDF; and here, at the original blog's archive).
Now (November 2009) available again here, reposted.
A short essay of mine about my research on Stalin is in an Interview on Carl Miller's blog, "Reason In Revolt Now Thunders," May 12 2006. My thanks to Mr. Miller for giving me this opportunity to state things as I seen them! (Look down the page for "Interview with Grover Furr," May 12). Also here; and here, at a Spanish site.
