You quote Armand Hammer, the Soviet apologist. Perhaps you would like to know something about him:
“While most historians (such as Beverly Gage[14] and Nigel West[15]) state that Julius had performed the abortion, an opposing position has been put forward by author Edward Jay Epstein. Epstein in his book Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer puts forward the claim that it was Armand Hammer rather than his father who performed the abortion and his father Julius assumed the blame.[10] Epstein’s claims come from interview comments made by Bettye Murphy who had been Armand’s mistress.[16] According to Murphy and Epstein’s account the legal strategy was that Julius did not deny that an abortion had been performed, but insisted that it had been medically necessary, and that a licensed doctor rather than a medical student would be more convincing in presenting that argument.[17] Epstein’s take on events remains controversial and a minority position.[according to whom?]
After Julius was imprisoned he sent Armand Hammer to the Soviet Union to look after the affairs of his company Allied Drug and Chemical.[10] Hammer would travel back and forth from the Soviet Union for the next 10 years.”[
