Let History Judge (Russian: К суду истории, Before the Court of History) is a Soviet history book by Roy Medvedev that critiques Stalinism from a Marxist perspective. Its publication in 1969 resulted in Medvedev's expulsion from the Communist Party and in subsequent harassment.[1]
Medvedev said of his methodology that "I did not make use of or have access to any closed archives, “special collections,” or any other limited-access depositories and I am not familiar with any" and "there could not be a published source for much of the information in this book; it was passed on by the victims of repression or their friends or relatives".[2]
The book was republished in expanded form in 1989.
