Despite being hindered by politics historiography has in fact shown signs of improvement and continuation. What only 10 years ago was seen as the isolated ‘camp of revisionists with their preposterous claims’ now has turned into a main stream of historian scientists trying to research and further clarify the era of the Second Wold War and the mysteries of Soviet history.[1] They have taken into account the new evidence and information and have continued to unveil this dark period of human history, rather than loose pace by continues debate with the conservative old school historians. In fact, after 17 years Viktor Suvorov has been allowed back into the debate and is about to publish his second book in English language this July 2007.[2] It is now those historians who fail to recognize or consider the new information available who are running the risk of being isolated from the main stream historiography.
