Norman Naimark redefines "genocide"

In his new book, Stalin's Genocides (Princeton University Press), CISAC affiliated faculty member and research affiliate at The Europe Center Norman Naimark proposes an expansion of the standard definition of genocide: the systematic mass murder of national, ethnic, racial and religious groups. Naimark argues that the definition of the "crime of crimes" should be expanded to include social classes and political groups, and uses Josef Stalin's rule as a case in point.
