Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, bloody massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin's henchmen. This book is the chilling story of these crimes. It puts forward the important argument that brutal mass killings under Stalin in the 1930s were indeed acts of genocide and that the Soviet dictator himself was behind them. Norman Naimark, one of our most respected authorities on the Soviet era, challenges the widely held notion that Stalin's crimes do not constitute genocide, which the United Nations defines as the premeditated killing of a group of people because of their race, religion, or inherent national qualities. In this gripping book, Naimark explains how Stalin became a pitiless mass killer. He looks at the most consequential and harrowing episodes of Stalin's systematic destruction of his own populace--the liquidation and repression of the so-called kulaks, the Ukrainian famine, the purge of nationalities, and the Great Terror--and examines them in light of other genocides in history. In addition, Naimark compares Stalin's crimes with those of the most notorious genocidal killer of them all, Adolf Hitler. -- Book Jacket. 000470593 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000470593 60010 $$aStalin, Joseph,$$d1878-1953. 000470593 650_0 $$aGenocide$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000470593 650_0 $$aMass murder$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000470593 650_0 $$aPolitical purges$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000470593 650_0 $$aPolitical persecution$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000470593 650_0 $$aHuman rights$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000470593 650_0 $$aInternational law$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000470593 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xPolitics and government$$y1917-1936. 000470593 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xPolitics and government$$y1936-1953. 000470593 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xHistory$$y1925-1953. 000470593 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000470593 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNaimark, Norman M.$$tStalin's genocides.$$dPrinceton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, ©2010$$z9780691147840$$z9780691152387$$w(DLC) 2010019063$$w(OCoLC)587249108 000470593 830_0 $$aHuman rights and crimes against humanity. 000470593 8520_ $$bacq 000470593 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000470593 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=565416$$zOnline Access 000470593 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470593$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470593 980__ $$aEBOOK 000470593 980__ $$aBIB 000470593 982__ $$aEbook 000470593 983__ $$aOnline
