Career
In 2004, Alexander Dyukov graduated from the The Moscow State Institute for History and Archives (Московский государственный историко-архивный институт). His graduation paper was dedicated to creation and development of the Soviet partisans movement in 1941–1943 ("Становление и развитие системы управления советским партизанским движением, 1941 - 1943 годы"). In 2004–2007, Dyukov worked for the ARMS-TASS Agency of Military and Technical Information, on various positions from the issuing editor of the weekly Military and Technical Cooperation (Военно-техническое сотрудничество) and was finally promoted to the editor in chief. He published numerous articles in newspapers Izvestia, Komsomolskaya Pravda, REGNUM information agency and many more. Dyukov is regularly featured as an "expert commentator" on "Russia Today," the English-language cable channel of the Russian state news service, Novosti.
Author and co-author of books and over 50 articles on Russian history in the 20th century.
Controversy
Much of Dyukov's work is devoted to source criticism that challenges the works of other historians or popularisers of history, particularly those critical of Stalinist repression or the role of the USSR during World War II. To support his argumentation, Dyukov's own publications often cite sources from the archives of the FSB, to which access by researchers is limited.
In Estonia, Dyukov's views on Soviet history are considered falsification and denial of events. The Estonian newspaper, Eesti Ekspress, describes Dyukov as a revisionist historian who paints a picture of Soviet political repressions as "little worse than a family picnic". In his recent book, The Genocide Myth, Dyukov claims Estonia's recollection of the 1941 forced deportations to Siberia is exaggerated. In regard to the 1941 deportations, the Eesti Ekspress quotes Dyukov as writing that Estonians were criminals who were deported for their activities:
If Baltic nationalists had not cooperated with German special services and had not prepared for acts of diversion, there would have been no need for deportation. It was the activity of nationalists and of Nazi agents that provoked the deportations—and Estonian historians prefer to keep silent about it.
However, Eesti Ekspress points out that at the time of the first deportations, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were still allies, with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact still in force.
About the boxcars used to deport people and eyewitness accounts of those dead and dying, Dyukov claims that three meals were served a day to every deportee, that trains were, instead, regular passenger coaches, and that each train had a medical car with a doctor, medical assistant, and two nurses to care for the welfare of the passengers. And he disputes that anyone at all died during the deportations the Soviets conducted: "Не исключено, что во время депортации вообще не умер ни один человек."
