Mikhail Ivanovich Meltiukhov (also spelled Meltyukhov or Mel'tiuhov, Template:Lang-ru: Михаил Иванович Мельтюхов Template:IPA2) is a Russian military historian. Currently he is working at the Russian Institute of Documents and Historical Records Research.

Works

In 1995, he defended the dissertation “Contemporary Historiography on Pre-history of the Great Patriotic War” on historiography concerning the beginning of World War II. Since then, he has published several studies, many of which are notable for the critical review of the official Soviet conceptions of World War II. Some important works in this direction are On the Verge of the Great Patriotic War: the Debate Goes on and Stalin's Missed Chance and "Soviet-Polish Wars: Military and Political Standoff in 1918-1939".

In his latest work, Stalin's Liberation Campaign, using newly declassified documents, he deals with Joseph Stalin's attempts to re-gain 'lost territories' of the Russian empire, for example, Bessarabia. He presents a hypothesis that precisely at the time of Soviet occupation of Bessarabia did Adolf Hitler make the decision to invade the Soviet Union.

Meltyukhov also contributed to a recently published collection of articles on Viktor Suvorov's thesis. Meltyukhov supported some ideas of Suvorov in general but criticized him for inaccuracies.

An English version of some of his work has been published as "Disputes over 1941" by M I Mel'tiukhov in the series Russian studies in history .
