So you're assuming that everyone who 'revises' history is doing it for totally academic and un-ideological reasons. Except when it comes to this particular event, whereupon ideology can be the only possible reason?
And BTW, why does it even matter what the ideology or motivation of the historian is, if what they uncover turns out to be factually correct?
