George Robert Acworth Conquest (15 July 1917 – 3 August 2015) was an anti-communist historian and former British intelligence officer. Even many anti-communists have rejected his claims of genocide against Ukrainians during the 1931–1933 Soviet famine. He has also severely exaggerated repression during the Soviet purges.[1] His writings rely on writings from obscure émigrés. He claimed that 3.5 million kulaks died after being deported to Siberia, more than twice the total number of deportees.[2]
