Hi Meredith, thanks for the question!

B claims that the critic and writers disagree that Stalin's cruel misdeeds provide evidence of morbid suspiciousness. However, they both agree that he displayed morbid suspiciousness. They disagreed about the cause for this trait.

The critic believes his misdeeds are a trait of tyrants to maintain long rule, while the writers believe it to be related to his sanity.

Hope this helps!
