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.
