Third edition, corrected and supplemented (chapter added: “The Great Terror – a Nazi myth, or Where does the NKVD Troika come from?”). Have you ever witnessed how history is written? Have you ever seen how the generally accepted concept of the historical past collapses with a crash? How do hundreds of journalistic and scientific works on history turn into a mountain of worthless waste paper? The book "The Myth of the Great Terror" sets in motion processes of this magnitude. This work of the author is entirely devoted to debunking the main anti-Stalinist and anti-communist myth which is the myth of the “Great Terror” (mass repressions of 1937-1938, when about 656 thousand people were allegedly shot by the verdicts of a non-judicial body). In 1968, as part of the anti-communist propaganda, the book “The Great Terror: Stalin's Purges of the 30s” by Robert Conquest was published. Bourgeois propaganda needed to present the communist regime as criminal and inhuman. Further, the anti-Soviet writings of Conquest will be actively used by Trotskyists inside the USSR. First, Solzhenitsyn, having slightly revised it, will release it under the name "The Gulag Archipelago". Then the commission of A.N. Yakovlev and the Memorial Society, hastily creating in 1988-1992 the myth of mass repressions. Using the idea of the "Great Terror" of Conquest, and somewhere the direct support of the Hoover Institution, a colossal work was done to falsify a huge array of documents. Nevertheless, the myth has a huge number of flaws: the inconsistency of the motives of repression, a secret extrajudicial body (which, from the point of view of jurisprudence, cannot exist at all), a huge number of errors in documents from the archives, the lack of expert examination of these documents, the absence of mass graves, etc.
