04.26.19 - "Zagadka Katynskogo Rasstrela" by Oleg Sdvizhkov. An excellent, very intelligent, and strongly positive review of my book The Mystery of the Katyn Massacre. The Evidence, the Solution (see below, at 08.13.18). It has been republished on other sites, such as this one.

01.27.19 - Stalin: Waiting For ... The Truth! Exposing the Falsehoods in Stephen Kotkin’s Stalin. Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941. In this book, which took me 14 months to research and write, I show that every claim of crime, atrocity, etc., by Stalin in Kotkin's book is a fraud.

You can read the Preface to my book here.. Do it! You will be surprised at how many lies and fabrications a famous scholar like Kotkin (Princeton University, Hoover Institution) is capable of -- and how it is that such lies and falsifications get circulated and believed by all-too-naive readers.

It is also available at Amazon.com, and at the Amazon online bookstores in Canada, the UK, France, Italy, and Germany. European readers don't have to pay the high shipping costs from the USA any longer!

12.26.18 - Stalinas ir kova už demokratines reformas pirma dalis - translation into Lithuanian of my 2005 article "Stalin and the Struggle for Democratic Reform" (see below under 2005 for both parts in English). Many thanks to "Comrade Kalinin Kalinych" for this translation!

08.13.18 - The Mystery of the Katyn Massacre. The Evidence, the Solution. (Kettering, OH: Erythrós Press & Media, LLC, 2018). This is the first objective study of the Katyn Massacre. I treat it as a mystery, without preconceived ideas as to which side -- the Soviets or the Germans -- was guilty. I marshal all the evidence and solve the mystery for once and for all. Also available from Amazon.com.

* A very good review, on Goodreads, of my Katyn book by someone who has clearly studied my book very carefully. Thanks to "Hatuxka"!

07.15.18 - The Moscow Trials As Evidence. The testimony of the defendants at the three Moscow Trials requires vetting -- check-up to determine whether we can independently verify or disprove it. A study of this testimony, in the light of the documentary evidence now available, shows that the Moscow Trials defendants testified as they chose, without coercion or threats. Their testimony is valid evidence. This book gives the analysis.

07.10.18 - The Fraud of the Dewey Commission. A short book (99 pages) with all the references to primary documents and scholarship, showing that Leon Trotsky lied to the Dewey Commission in 1937, and that the Dewey Commission would never have exhonerated him if they had known the truth.

07.01.18 - In Memoriam Professor Domenico Losurdo. The great Marxist philosopher and fighter for the truth died in late June, 2018. This is my personal tribute to him.

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)

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!

"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).

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.
