"The collected volume is a timely publication that fills in a significant gap in the English-language historiography of the establishment of Stalinist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe after World War Two. It may come as a surprise that this book is actually the first serious scholarly attempt to address the topic of Stalinist repressions from a comparative perspective, bringing together the findings of historians from the respective countries since the archival revolutions of the early 1990s."(Balázs Apor: Slavonic and East European Review,vol. 92, no. 1, January 2014)
