I have yet to find one crime — yet to find one crime — that Stalin committed.
Grover Carr Furr III (born April 3, 1944) is an American professor of Medieval English literature and author best known for his works criticizing existing narratives in Western academia surrounding Soviet history, including the legacy and person of Joseph Stalin, the Yezhov purge, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, ethnic deportations, the 1933 Soviet famine, and other topics. Furr often cites archival evidence which he claims overturns existing scholarship, sometimes claiming that certain documents are forged.[citation needed]
Furr's works are often cited by staunch supporters of the legacy of the Soviet Union (sometimes known as "tankies") who tend to view modern Western historiography as corrupt and propagandistic. However, many leftists sympathetic to Marxism–Leninism or the Soviet Union criticize or only partly endorse his work.[citation needed]
Career
Born in Washington, D.C., Furr graduated in 1965 from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with a BA in English. From 1965 to 1969, he was at Princeton University in the Department of Comparative Literature, with education in Medieval British Literature, German, Russian, and French. Furr received his Ph.D from Princeton University in 1979. Since February 1970, he has been on the faculty at Montclair State University in New Jersey, where he specializes in Medieval English literature.[3]

Khrushchev's Secret Speech
Furr's book Khrushchev Lied, subtitled "The Evidence that Every Revelation of Stalin's (and Beria's) Crimes in Nikita Khrushchev's Infamous Secret Speech to the 20th Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on February 25, 1956, Is Provably False", attacked the speech given by Nikita Khrushchev called "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences", more commonly referred to in the West as the "Secret Speech".
During a public debate at a university campus in 2012, Furr was quoted as saying: "I have yet to find one crime — yet to find one crime — that Stalin committed. ... I know they all say he killed 20, 30, 40 million people — it is bullshit. ... Goebbels said that the[Big Lie is successful and this is the Big Lie: that the Communists — that Stalin killed millions of people and that socialism is no good."[citation needed] Both The American Conservative and the Washington Examiner wrote that Furr referred to Nazi propaganda because a mediator of the discussion suggested that Furr was using tactics invented by Joseph Goebbels.[1][4]
