History vs. Lenin

Research Weekend Begins

How may I get this research completed efficiently and effectively and enjoy the nice weather this weekend?

Step 1: Pick an -ism.  Say you pick Stalinism. Ok, that's perfect. 

Step 2: Go to ABC-CLIO (ABC-CLIO Modern World History, http://worldhistory.abc-clio.com/Authentication/LogOn?returnUrl=%2F) for an introduction. Look for a biography and some primary sources. 

Bio? Check. https://worldhistory.abc-clio.com/Search/Display/309409?terms=Stalinism&sType=quick 

Primary Source? I found a speech easily. https://worldhistory.abc-clio.com/Search/Display/309214

Step 3: Go to History Today (http://www.historytoday.com/user/login) to check out how scholars are discussing Stalin's legacy today. 

Article? Done.  http://www.historytoday.com/martin-mccauley/stalin-and-stalinism

Wow. I already have three sources and I just started. 

Step 4: I'm going to check out the Fordham University Modern History Sourcebook (http://legacy.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/modsbook.asp) 

Ok, I skimmed through the titles and found this: Stalin's essay on Dialectical and Historical Materialism.  

http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/Halsall/mod/modsbook39.asp#Stalinism

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1938/09.htm 

Step 5: Try JStor, http://www.jstor.org.proxy.uchicago.edu/

That was easy.  A 2003 peer-reviewed article entitled, Looking Back on Stalin.

And look! One directed underneath that one: Stalin and His Era. 

Step 6: One last search. I'm going to try Project Muse, http://muse.jhu.edu.proxy.uchicago.edu/ . 

Found a good one. 2012 and about Stalin's genocides. 

Step 7: Start compiling a bibliography using http://www.citationmachine.net/ 

I'm finished and I'm going to read these articles beginning in class on Monday.
