In this article the repressive policies of the Stalinist leadership in relation to the historians in the USSR in 1929 - 1938-ies. Information presented data on the affected historians.

Stalin is a man whose life course people began to argue about during his lifetime, then continued their argument immediately after his death. They are arguing about it now and are unlikely to stop arguing in the nearest future. It would be strange if many political myths had not been created around such a significant figure. Opinions about it differ significantly in modern Russia, and conclusions may lead to a new civil war.
