These conflicts are, for him, fragments of eternal Western aggression against Russia. When Russia (in this case, Soviet Russia) comes into conflict it is only to take what is rightfully hers. Stalin appears as a genial successor to Catherine II. The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact and the involvement of the USSR in the attack on Poland in September 1939 are presented as purely defensive postures, underlining the primacy of Russian raison d’etat. This posture represented not only Stalin’s profound realism but also historical justice and even – argues Meltyukhov – humanitarianism. In this context the mass deportations of more than half a million people from the territory occupied by the Red Army in September 1939 to camps in the depths of the Soviet Union is presented as a “peacekeeping mission” which prevented the murder of those Poles deported to Siberia by protecting them from the Ukrainians panting with thirst for revenge...".''

Russian military historian (born 1966) In this name that follows Eastern Slavic naming customs, the patronymic is Ivanovich and the family name is Meltyukhov.

Mikhail Ivanovich Meltyukhov (Russian: Михаил Иванович Мельтюхов, pronounced [mʲɪxɐˈil ɨˈvanəvʲɪtɕ mʲɪlʲtʲʊˈxof]; born 14 March 1966) is a Russian military historian.

Works

Meltyukhov was born in Moscow.

In 1995, he defended the dissertation “Contemporary Historiography on Pre-history of the German-Soviet 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".

Meltyukhov also contributed to a recently-published collection of articles on Viktor Suvorov's ideas. Meltyukhov supported some ideas of Suvorov in general but criticised him for inaccuracies. Meltyukhov's latest work, Stalin's Liberation Campaign, dealt with Joseph Stalin's attempts to regain 'lost territories' of the Russian Empire like Bessarabia. He presents a hypothesis that it was precisely during the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia that Adolf Hitler decided to invade the Soviet Union because he realised that the Red Army could quickly cut Germany from its oil reserves in Romania by a strike on Bessarabia. That thesis had been put forward earlier by Viktor Suvorov, who described Soviet preparations for the strike.

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.

Meltyukhov's Soviet-Polish Wars: Military and Political Confrontation in 1918-1939 was criticised by the Polish historian Andrzej Nowak. According to Nowak, Meltyukhov interpreted Polish-Soviet conflicts as “fragments of eternal Western aggression against Russia.” Russian and Soviet aggressions “are presented as purely defensive postures”, which presents Soviet crimes in occupied Poland “as a ‘peacekeeping mission’” In his 2004 book, Nowak lists in detail biases and inaccuracies concerning Polish-Russian relations in Meltyukhov's book by primarily pointing out that Poland is always portrayed as an aggressor and that many instances of Russian aggression toward Poland are ignored.

Meltyukhov's study Stalin's Missed Chance has also been valued positively for covering Soviet military plans before the outbreak of German-Soviet war in 1941 by relying on documents that had been inaccessible. In 2020, Meltyukhov contributed to the Russian Federal archival project "Crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices against the civilian population of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945".

Meltyukhov was also a professor at Moscow Technological University.
