Negative Positive
Title: Futile Justification
Review: It is very interesting to learn how Russian historians view Cold War. It is well-written and easy to understand.It seems to me, however, that the authors have some nostalgia for 19th century Russian imperialism. While ideology is described as delirium tremens, there is no criticism of Russian expansionism. Even Stalin's expansionism is justified by his concern for security. By denying Soviet Union's ambition and emphasizing economic loss which Russian people had to suffer, the authors are misleading readers to wrong direction.
Is the review positive or negative?
