Quotes

• “Truth can thus only percolate in the form of hearsay.”
• “On political matters basically the best, though not infallible, source is rumour at a high political or police level.”
• “One good rule is that the language in Soviet secret documents ordering that action be taken is usually valid, while other information may be mere Party-line myth—as with the 1933 secret instructions to blockade the Ukraine and the Kuban to prevent famine victims escaping northward. The operational order was intended to be obeyed, and it was. The explanation given was false: that the peasants were acting on instructions of Socialist Revolutionaries and the Polish intelligence service.”
