I do not know if you even read a book written by Kozevnikow, Novikov or even Inoziemcev, classical Soviet era military authors, who personaly created history of VVS RKKA in WW II (Kozevnikow and main air marschall A.A. Novikv), but if you read them and compare with Sołonin's books, you will see a big difference. If you would like to see it?
I can do this difference. I do not see in Russia official air military historians (excluding M. Morozov), who make such deep study on begining of naval air war in 1941.
There are of course some mistakes, errors in Sołonin's books too. I have found them in each books, including the last one (both parts of NChK). But level of them is not so high as you find for example in books written by Ch. Bergstrom (he put many false, wrong information in English about Air Barbarossa) or in books written by D. Chasanov. These last authors are very strongly affected by their own political preferences, one side searches etc. Both makes perfect propaganda books, the true are not so important for them - especially for Bergstrom. I can not say the same about Sołonin. Errors are normal during writing, all writing know them well.
If you do not like it, do not read these bullshit or do it yourself and then you will see. I do it personaly for many years. It makes me big diffrent, and respect to other hard work. Sołonin has made solid works. He can dare to put not easy and nice question.
Only writing:
Mark Solonin is a very tendentious author.
But who is better then he in Russia or another country? Write it simple. Who: Kozevnikow, Inoziemcev, Novikow, Chazanov, or even forigner Ch. Bergstrom? All five some written about 25-30 VI 1941. But mostly it is only pure propaganda information and also very false. The best one is Chazanov, but he is still far away behind Sołonin searches.

When you exactly read Sołonin books you will find that there are lack of many Soviet documents.
