the Claim about Lidya was apparently first made by Simon Sebag in the book "Young Stalin". Sebag is also notable for being a friend of Epstein and is listed in his 'Black book'
Wikipedia says he's a historian, but he's literally just a journalist who took whatever any random person told him about Stalin as fact. He's responsible for most of the modern myths about him.
Ah, that’s what we call in the biz an “applebaum”
You'd think we'd learn after David Irving to do a better job verifying if a person is an actual historian or just some kook. Of course, if liberals had object permanence, they wouldn't be liberals.
Seriously tho it's asinine you can't call yourself a doctor or lawyer without being an actual doctor or lawyer, yet you can call yourself a historian, scientist, engineer, or journalist with zero qualifications. I suppose that's what the title of "doctor" is for (doctor of history). It just amazes me how many dipshits are out there with barely an undergraduate degree calling themselves experts.
is that what Young Sheldon is based off of
I wish
I wonder if those stories he wrote about Stalin were actual confessionals about his own activity with girls, but written to accuse Stalin.
Write what you know
Of fucking course it's always a projection. Afaik he also asspulled the same accusation about Mao and Beria.
