Когда Роберта Оппенгеймера расследовали по подозрению в коммунистических связях, он объяснял "Although Sidney and Beatrice Webb's book on Russia, which I had read in 1936, and the talk that I heard at that time had predisposed me to make much of the economic progress and general level of welfare in Russia, and little of its political tyranny, my views on this were to change. I read about the purge trials, though not in full detail, and could never find a view of them which was not damning to the Soviet system." https://famous-trials.com/oppenheimer/2692-oppenheimer-s-reply-to-aec-charges-march-4-1954
Упомянутые британцы Sidney and Beatrice Webb, авторы двухтомника "Soviet communism, a new civilization", в 1942 выпустили новую книжку, "The truth about Soviet Russia", с предисловием Бернарда Шоу. Они доказывали, что, во-первых, СССР - это полноценная демократия, достаточно почитать Конституцию 1936го года, которая прилагалась к книжке: "it is clear that, tested by the Constitution of the Soviet Union as revised and enacted in 1936, the USSR is the most inclusive and equalized democracy in the world". Во-вторых, Сталин - никакой не диктатор, потому что по Конституции у него гораздо меньше прав и полномочий, чем, например, у президента США, настоящего диктатора. "Nor has Stalin ever claimed the position of a dictator or fuehrer. Far otherwise; he has persistently asserted in his writings and speeches that as a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR he is merely a colleague of thirty other members, and that so far as the Communist Party is concerned he acts as general secretary under the orders of the executive. He has, in fact, frequently pointed out that he does no more than carry out the decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party." Террор в книжке, естественно, оправдывался: "The success of the Soviet Government in instituting not only a political but an industrial democracy, and thereby enormously increasing the health, wealth and culture of the inhabitants, and the consequent recognition of the USSR as a Great Power, discredited the Trotsky movement, which was finally liquidated by the murder of Trotsky in Mexico by one of his own followers." https://archive.org/details/truthaboutsoviet012203mbp
Время было сложное, и в попытке понять происходящее многие мозги оказывались вывихнутыми.
