Talk:Grigori F. Krivosheev

Untitled
Irpen, I respect your editing, but disagree in your evaluation of Suvorov's work as a "non-scientific sensationalist analysis" and "Suvorov's crackpot". Given that Suvorov did not ride the state machinery to work for him, his insights and statistical back-up are profound. Many mega-trends do not need detailed analysis, as is said "Large things are visible from afar", and the years of propaganda could never cloud the fact that Russia lost near-all their men and supplies in the first week of the war. This fact is no "crackpot", he broke secretiveness by fingering a naked king, and silencing the thesis of the Suvorov's book as opposed to the line of the state-supported publication does not present a balanced picture. Taking sides before independent historians canvass the problem is presumptuous, especially when the state is known to chronically manipulate scientific reports. I am saying this not to discredit Krivosheev, he has done a very important and probably good research, but to argue for a balanced picture about the controversy where Krivosheev serves to illuminate one side.

 * Check this for refs. --Irpen 04:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think he is notable; I've seen his work referenced in several sources I have read over the years.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 05:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Guys, don't be ridiculously ignorant. This guy is VERY notable: he is the title author of official post-soviet account on Soviet and Russian war casualties of the XXth c. However, it doesn't alter the fact that he is a propagandist and his work is worthless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.249.229.49 (talk) 11:03, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Ann IP 77.249.229.49 you are correct. His work has been criticized in Russia, however reliable sources outside of Russia parrot his statistics.--Woogie10w (talk) 11:20, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
