	Viktor Suvorov Information
		Viktor Suvorov (Ви́ктор Суво́ров; real name Vladimir Rezun : Влади́мир Богда́нович Резу́н) (born April 20, 1947) was a Soviet intelligence officer of Ukrainian and Russian descent who had been working for the Soviet military intelligence (GRU), but defected to the United Kingdom in 1978, where he worked as an intelligence analyst and lecturer.
		Suvorov claims his pseudonym was his army nickname, which was actually intended to mean "smart-ass" (Aleksandr Suvorov was a famed Russian military commander of the 18th century).
		Suvorov cites Soviet attitudes towards Romania as an example of this; although the Ceauşescu regime maintained an aggressively independent stance towards the Soviet Union for many years, no invasion took place such as were launched against Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968; because, Suvorov claims, no Soviet citizen envied the Romanians.

	Book Review - Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?
		Suvorov, a former Soviet army officer who has written extensively on the Soviet military and intelligence network, argues that the Nazi-Soviet pact was not a defensive action on Stalin's part.
		Suvorov also convincingly demonstrates that Stalin was not developing defensive forces along the new Soviet border with Germany, but rather as building up a vast and powerful offensive military force.
		Furthermore, all the evidence suggests — and Suvorov musters a vast amount of military and political evidence — that Stalin was planning his attack on Germany for the middle of July 1941.

	Suvorov's The Last Republic (review) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In "The Last Republic," Suvorov adds to the evidence presented in his two earlier books to strengthen his argument that Stalin was preparing for an aggressive war, in particular emphasizing the ideological motivation for the Soviet leader's actions.
		Another reason for Germany's lack of preparedness, Suvorov contends, was that her military leaders seriously under-estimated the performance of Soviet forces in the Winter War against Finland, 1939-40.
		Suvorov admits to being fascinated with Stalin, calling him "an animal, a wild, bloody monster, but a genius of all times and peoples." He commanded the greatest military power in the Second World War, the force that more than any other defeated Germany.

	Viktor Suvorov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Suvorov reminded the reader that all of the USSR's pre-war doctrine was based on Marxism-Leninism, which dictated that capitalism will be overthrown through communist revolution.
		Suvorov documented that USSR's leader Joseph Stalin understood that capitalist societies wouldn't normally accept a vision of Leninism.

		Suvorov speaks with pride about the enormous might that would have undoubtfully crashed the Western armies, had it come to an open conflict.

	Russia In World War 2
		First and foremost of these researchers was Vladimir Rezun (known by his pen name Viktor Suvorov), a Russian military intelligence officer who applied his deep knowledge of intelligence gathering and analysis methods, and of Russian military doctrines, to Russia's World War 2 military literature, with dramatic results.
		Since the mid-1990s, 'mainstream' western historiography increasingly accepts both the main claims and the main supporting facts and evidence of the pioneering work of researchers like Suvorov, and the "history as we know it" of Russia in World War 2 is being re-written.
		Hitler's Germany managed to be the first to attack, by a narrow gap of a few weeks at most (Suvorov's conclusion, based on various evidence, is that Russia's Red Army was going to attack on July 6, 1941, so Hitler got ahead of them by exactly two weeks).

	4um: Who Started WW2?
		As Suvorov notes, Wilhelm Keitel, Field Marshal and Chief of Germany's armed forces High Command, spoke about the German fears during a postwar interrogation: All the preparatory measures we took before spring 1941 were defensive measures against the contingency of a possible attack by the Red Army.
		Suvorov comments: The admiral is telling us quite clearly and openly that Stalin considered war inevitable and prepared himself seriously to enter it at a time of his own choosing.
		Suvorov even presents a hypothetical scenario of a Soviet invasion and occupation of Europe, replete with Stalinist terror and oppression: The [Soviet] troops meet endless columns of prisoners.

		Around 1990, a Soviet military-intelligence defector, writing under the name Viktor Suvorov, copyrighted a book alleging that Stalin was chiefly responsible for World War II.
		Suvorov began the book by noting that the official word out of the Kremlin on Sept. 18, 1939, was that Poland had started the war.
		Suvorov quotes the very words of Stalin, who wrote: "A great deal depends upon whether we succeed in delaying the war, which is unavoidable, with the capitalist world, until the moment when the capitalists start fighting among themselves."

		Based mostly on publicly available materials, the case Suvorov makes is not convincing but it has achieved sufficient popular attention that respected historians have felt compelled to respond.
		Suvorov claims that Stalin knew the British and French were prepared to go to war over Poland and agreed to the pact with Hitler because this would draw the Third Reich into war with France and the UK.
		Suvorov notes that Stalin took great satisfaction from the results of the pact -- as well he should.

		In addition to all of that junk, which is of little intrerest except to historians, Suvorov writes with wonderful fl humor and irony about not only the mentality of the Soviet/Russian military (which is timeless) but also takes the reader through the daily life of the Soviet soldier.
		And yet Suvorov wisely concludes that no other type of army was possible for the Soviet Union, or even desirable: one of the central ironies of history is that had Russia been a democracy in 1941, it certainly would have been crushed by the Germans.
		Suvorov, when he doesn't get bogged down in boring technical detail, is a terrifically funny and cynical writer, a Russian patriot with a searing hatred of Communism.
