Robert Conquest
Robert Conquest was a British historian and poet known for his writings on the Soviet Union and the atrocities of communism, particularly his influential works such as 'The Great Terror' which detailed the purges under Joseph Stalin. He was also a prominent critic of totalitarianism and played a significant role in shaping the discourse around the Cold War. Conquest's insights into the nature of oppressive regimes have remained relevant, and his phrase 'the century of ideas assassins' highlights the philosophical battles of the 20th century.
