I personally met with Mr Rezun (aca Victor Suvorov). Many of comments here keep his parahystorical fiction in high esteem. Remind you, he was defector from the Intelligence Agency that hardly provided its members with thorough knowledge of anything but spying and killing, and certainly didn’t teach these power greedy people fundamentals of scholarship and research.

If you like me would have chance to see him and talk to him in person you wouldn’t be so sure in his trustworthiness. Short, fidgety man, rather “clickbait” type of journalist desperate for cash. Personality of author always imprints itself in every word he types. My strong and proved belief.

Good that I’ve red his Icebreaker series before meeting him. In original language. Hype and sensationalism I felt in his articles which flood reader with massive and redundant information and zillions footnotes matched perfectly the vulnerability bordering paranoia and total luck of self confidence I felt in this poor man.

Just personal impressions.

Dear lemmings, in your endless left-right punches you so generously give each other commenting this piece, you soon run to the proverbial cliff. And restless souls of hundreds of civilians killed in this War will gladly give you last push down to abyss. And there below you meet yet again with the Juggernaut Wheel of another bloody conflict that will run squashing your little helpless bodies. War, if you forget it for a moment, is about the death or survival. When it starts, ideological disputes about liberties and democracies and human rights and totalitarian regimes versus democracies vanish in thin air in no time. The disputes who was worse despot: Hitler or Stalin was already solved by millions of men who lost their lives killing each other. Hunger, filthy clothes, lice in hair, fear of rape, imminent painful death and psychological trauma caused by killing. Hardly leave large place in your mind for ideological doctrines.

Humble advice. Don’t waste you already shrinking brains reading this author or Suvorov or another historian with agenda. Try Tolstoy instead. After all he wrote about exactly War and Peace. You will learn better from him, trust me. Even about such a technicality as the causes of both World Wars.
