If you are genuinely interested dig into subject, read conflicting opinions, apply logic. I am not defending bloodshed that happened in Russia during Civil War and years after that that have been caused by animosity in Russian society. However putting a novelist on pedestal and blindly trusting what he wrote without asking questions is weird unless you support the conclusions regardless of facts. What is special about him that he got such great PR in the West? He was just a literator, not a scientist. He took some number out of a magic hat and presented it as fact. A lot of Russian historians who could go and look into actual documents in the archives proved him to be a liar. For majority of Russian people he is a traitor who spread lies about their country. Some Russian people support him. But hey, some Russian people regret that Hitler hasn't won.
