Denying History#Stalinapologetists are forever stuck in the 1940's. They haven't read any of the subsequent literature that documented that United States Ambassador Joseph E Davies saw the Moscow trials as “nightmare” proceedings that were not "trial[s] at all". (MacLean, Envoy to the Soviets, p.50) Or that he dishonestly altered his reports and diary entires in his book "Mission to Moscow".
