I’m not talking about amateurs - that’s an important distinction on Wikipedia, where you need to produce some kind of published and usually academic sources to be considered WP:RS.
I don’t want to even touch that swamp again, but if you dig through the archives you will find people quoting actual historians, not very prominent, usually somehow aligned with socialist or left-wing, who happily engaged in denying, dismissing or at least justifying regimes in which millions of people have died as result of state policy.
Examples of prominent figures (although not historians) doing the same are Jean-Paul Sartre, who defended Stalinism well into 1980’s, or Noam Chomsky, who initially denied, then questioned and then simply justified massacres such as these performed under Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
