The Stalin School of Falsification is a book written in 1937 [1] 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. [2] 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. [1] [3]
Publication history
A translation in English by Max Shachtman was published in 1937 by Pioneer Publishers. [4] In 1974, New Park in London published another edition. [5]
