      It is in fact precisely such highly political historical topics that wikipedia is most untrustworthy about.

      Even Western sources admit that the CIA and FBI meddles in it. Can’t imagine why they miiight want to smear the USSR and Stalin right? The agencies that created the Banana Republics in Latin America, used Agent Orange on Vietnamese villagers, suppressed any sort of socialist thought and imprisoned US socialists during the Red Scare despite accusing the USSR of suppressing thought in the exact same way and violating the 1st amendment of their own constitution, and gave us MK Ultra and other horribly unethical experiments done on unknowing and nonconsenting test subjects?

      all of these sources come from western analysts during the cold war, all of whom belonged to western think tanks designed to propagate misinformation against communism.

      Your sources are inflated by people long dead and their relatives pump this same shit for you to consume. Gulags existed, so does labor camps in america, america also regularly massacred students and workers. And caused a silent famine to happen in the midwest, yet you scream communism to drown out any forms of alternative information you feel uncomfortable about.
