"Hitler's executioners got their day in court--and their much-deserved death certificates. But the monsters who engineered the Soviet killing machines never got theirs. Why? Is it, in part, because the Left in the West, which controls the cultures of its societies, was able to block the delegitimization of its ideas?

Wouldn't it have done much damage to the efforts of the gulag deniers that you describe in your book? What do you make of all of this?"
