In 1989, Vladimir Rezun, aka Viktor Suvorov, delivered an analytical tour de force. He published the book Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?, in which he answered that question by showing that Stalin was at least as culpable as Hitler. What made Suvorov’s findings so astounding is that he had no access to any Soviet archives, indeed to the Soviet Union. A former GRU spy, he defected in 1978 and was living in Britain under a sort of witness protection programme.
