Grover Carr Furr III (born April 3, 1944 in Washington, D.C.) is an American professor and author of books and articles in Russian and English on Soviet history under the period of Joseph Stalin, particularly relating to the Great Purges and the “Secret Speech.” Since February 1970, he has been on the faculty at Montclair State University in New Jersey, where he specializes in medieval English literature.
Biography
Grover Furr graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1965 with a BA in English. He received a Ph.D in Comparative literature from Princeton University in 1978.[1]
Controversy
Furr's views on Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Nikita Khrushchev and the United States have been controversial in the academic and political community. His views led him to be listed by Conservative commentator David Horowitz as one of the "101 most dangerous academics in America."[2]
Among some of the controversial views are:
- "The western imperialists, the U.S. among them, are the biggest mass murderers in history."[3]
- "My guess is that many -- maybe all -- Wikipedia articles concerning the USSR, Russian Revolution, etc., have been composed in a similar, i.e. dishonest, lying manner."[4]
- "But the truth is that the USSR did not invade Poland in September, 1939"[5]
- "colleges and universities do not need a single additional ‘conservative’..... What they do need, and would much benefit from, is more Marxists, radicals, leftists—all terms conventionally applied to those who fight against exploitation, racism, sexism, and capitalism."[6]
- Joseph Stalin tried to democratize the Soviet Union.[7]
