Paul Goble can be forgiven for repeating this from “Vremya novostei”

“But the most disturbing passages concern Stalin and the Great Terror.
According to the textbook, Stalin launched the great terror in order to
maintain power and to block the actions of some kind of "fifth column"
guided by Trotsky or some group of foreign states against him and his
regime.”

Nothing new or disturbing about claiming that Stalin launched the great
terror to maintain power... And surely, the passage denying the regime’s
responsibility for the millions famished to death should be more shocking
and disturbing... 

I wonder how WWII fared?  Istoria Rossii for 9 graders (Moscow 1997) wrote
that UPA fought against Germans and the Soviet partisans. What role does UPA
play in the new book?
