Grover Carr Furr III (born April 3, 1944) is an American author and professor of Medieval English literature at Montclair State University. He has been criticized for his denial of crimes committed by the Soviet state during the Stalin era. He has further claimed that the Holodomor was a Nazi hoax, that the Katyn massacre was committed by the Schutzstaffel and not the Soviet NKVD, that all defendants in the Moscow Trials were guilty as charged, that "not one specific statement" by Khrushchev in his speech on the consequences of Stalinist repression "turned out to be true", that the purpose of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was to preserve Poland and not to attack it, and that the Soviet Union did not invade the Second Polish Republic.
