Applebaum is not a historian, FYI. She is a journalist with no training or education in academic historical studies. Of course she loves to tout that she’s a “historian”, but it’s just not true and even bourgeois historians like Kotkin love to dunk on her.
Her book on the famine just involved her being a stenographer for various Ukrainian neo-Nazi historians, for example.
