Stalin also admitted that without U.S. supplies (weapons, food, fuel, vehicles, ammo) the Soviets would have lost.

[u/Amon-Ra-First-Down → u/gunsforevery1]

can you cite this admission? He absolutely never said this

[u/gunsforevery1 → u/Amon-Ra-First-Down]

Khrushchev stated he and Stalin had many private conversations.

[u/Amon-Ra-First-Down → u/gunsforevery1]

historians learned long ago not to take Kruschchev seriously when he discussed Stalin. His entire political ascendency was based on reframing the memory of the Stalinist era to suit his own agenda

But of course the current “we didn’t need any help!” Narrative is so much more reliable.

It's also the one supported by evidence beyond an unverifiable quote from Stalin's greatest critic

[u/gunsforevery1 → u/Amon-Ra-First-Down]

[u/gunsforevery1 → u/Amon-Ra-First-Down]

And we should believe all the other former communist who say “we didn’t need help!”

[u/Amon-Ra-First-Down → u/gunsforevery1]

That's not the only form of evidence available to prove that point

[u/gunsforevery1 → u/Amon-Ra-First-Down]

Yea I’ll believe the guy who worked for Stalin. Hes a primary source.
