In Cannibalistic Times

The Great Terror: A Reassessment
by Robert Conquest
Oxford University Press, 570 pp., $24.95
Last year Robert Conquest's The Great Terror was translated into Russian and published in the USSR in the journal Neva. (Unfortunately, only the first edition was published. I hope that the second, revised and enlarged edition will be published as well, if it is not suppressed by the censorship so recently revived in the Soviet Union.) The fate of this book in the USSR is truly remarkable. Many of those who opened Neva in 1989–1990 exclaimed: 'But I know all this stuff already!' How did they know it? From Conquest himself.
