Robert Conquest's book The Great Terror is an impressive in its thoroughness and professionalism study of the period of Stalin's repressions of the 1930s. With the help of scientific sources, written testimonies of eyewitnesses and victims of terror, and documents of that era, the author sheds light on one of the most silenced periods of the USSR's history. A Western researcher's view of the events is particularly interesting because it is an unbiased outsider's perspective. And the analysis of terror as a phenomenon presented in the book will certainly become the basis for new research by contemporary Ukrainian historians.
