P.S. The book is waiting for a reviewer

I am a little puzzled over the self-designation as a "Stalinist." We usually refer to Stalinists as the persons who were part of the terror machine impossed by Stalin. A scientist, who lived and worked under such system but did not participate in administrating such terror was not a Stalinist even if he believed in communism.

This is my personal view, or rather a request for an explaination.

I have read Błażyński's book "Mówi Józef Swiatło." Światło was a Stalinist, a dispicable one, and I would have a hard time in grouping these two men together.

If I read the book in the OP, will I be likely to change my mind?

Send me a copy of the book and I will read it and review it on my website.

Aren't Stalinists thoose who prefer Communism in a form wich Stalin led it?
Have I grasped something wrong? :S

No doubt it this would be a good read and not often we get a professor of Nuclear Physics posting here. I think the tittle is to grab the poptential reader's attention - which it does.

We are not a very serious bunch here so I am not surprised he hasn't come back.

Certainly worth a read. Thanks for posting.

Hmm, I read a few extended interviews with old communists published as books. Interesting readings about those times in general, but I have always had a suspicion they try to whiten their role, play down their mistakes or abuse of power and switch the blame onto others. Nothing new, then - Nazis who survived Nurnberg also did it in their diaries.
