An American professor defends Stalinism

[shlomz]

* There were no “combined Nazi and Soviet invasions.” The Red Army did not “invade Poland” on September 17 1939. Abandoned by its government the Soviets had to prevent the German army from marching up to the existing Soviet border, something no country would have permitted. Winston Churchill said that the Soviets were right to do so.

Quite right, although he only gets half of the story correctly, allow me to add the second half:
* There were no “combined Nazi and Soviet invasions.” The German Army did not “invade Poland” on September 1 1939. Knowing beforehand that it will be abandoned by its government the Germans had to prevent the Martian spaceships from landing on the existing German border, something no country would have permitted. Winston Churchill said that the Germans were right to do so.

Dear lord, calling this nutcase a "historian" is like calling a crackwhore "sociable".
