This is just bargain-bin "spraying shit and seeing what sticks."
Some falsehoods, some distorsions, most of which are handled superbly by this book chapter on the Khrushchev Report: https://redsails.org/losurdo-on-the-secret-report/
Beevor is particularly vile with his rape-storytelling, and his stuff does not check out. See, "Hordes of Rapists: The Instrumentalization of Sexual Violence in German Cold War Anti-Communist Discourses": https://journals.openedition.org/rccsar/476
Seek truth from facts, brother.

Nothing like the whiff of braindead and morally bankrupt ideology in the morning
