RFH Ep. 81: Tankie Denialism, Holocaust Denialism––Interview with Sergey Romanov & Nicholas Terry

The co-hosts welcome Sergey Romanov, who researches Holocaust denial and Katyn-Massacre denial, and Dr. Nicholas Terry, a historian at the University of Exeter. Sergey and Nick discuss their work together on the Holocaust Controversies website. The rest of the interview focuses largely on Katyn Massacre, which pro-Stalin writers like Grover Furr refuse to concede was perpetrated by Stalin’s regime. Sergey details his exchanges with Furr and research that refutes Katyn denialists’ claims. He and Nick discuss the denialists’ inability to account for the totality of the evidence and right-wing Russian denialists’ influence on Furr and other Western tankies.
