The Stalin School of Falsification
1937 book by Leon Trotsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stalin School of Falsification (Russian: Сталинская школа фальсификаций, romanized: Stalinskaya shkola falsifikatsy) is a 1932 book by Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Written after Trotsky's expulsion from the Soviet Union, the book contains a detailed account of how historians chosen by Joseph Stalin rewrote revolutionary history.[1] A well-known example from the book concerns the revolutionary contributions by Trotsky himself about which Stalin had written glowingly in 1918, but whose special value he denied by 1924.[2][3]
