The research of your piece is brilliant. Your detailed timeline and insightful analysis of the Reign of Terror were incredibly engaging. The way you clarified Robespierre's role and the broader context was enlightening. Thanks for this.

Thank you Jon! I absolutely love researching this topic, and I do miss the days of writing historical essays at university, so this series is a way of recapturing that.. and sharing my knowledge with the world! I'm glad you enjoyed it

very enjoyable read, thanks! your passion in this topic is evident. it's always interesting to watch the downward spiral of political purges, forced collectivization, man-made famines, and labor camps as well...

Oh I'm so glad my passion comes across! Forced collectivisation is so interesting to me as well, especially from a psychological point of view

This is so informative. I kept coming back to this essay since the day it was first posted. I realized how I've known only half of this story all these years and have so much more to learn and look into. Thank you for writing this!

That's so great to hear, and is exactly why I started this series: I wanted to inspire people to go off and do their own reading. Thank you :)
