Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Exhaustively researched and well threaded together. The only negative thing i would say is that it's a little tiring to read.

Anne applebaum is one of the foremost authorities on post wwii soviet and polish history. Fareed zakaria often has her as a guest on gps whenever topics involve european politics, history and sociology.

Anne applebaum writes lightly with a sense of humour and irony. Produces a number of short and iconic sentences to bring issues to the point.



Cons

Appelbaum is so bias against the soviet union that she makes the red army and soviet union sound worse than the *. Ex-* like bandera seem to have simply disappeared in 1945.

    Current events in former soviet countries and the middle east prove history does indeed repeat itself when society ignores the truth and or promotes revisionary facts
