The USSR under Stalin was exposed to a lot of propaganda and facts were conveniently altered, so how did historians decide what was likely the truth about that time period?

Also, ask yourself why, when looking at history, it seems as if the good guys always win in the end. It’s because EVERY country thinks they’re the good guys, and they just write their history accordingly.Even a democracy like the USA has started countless wars overseas that have killed millions in the name of democracy, it has international arrest warrants out for people who exposed the government (Assange, Snowden), massive corporations are allowed to single handedly fund the political candidates, and average citizens can only purchase homes if they can prove they’ve spent years giving all their savings to big banks (the credit system). That said I think the USA does fairly well relative to other countries, but there could easily be a future where the it gets written off as an evil empire; it’s all a matter of who gets to write history.
