News Story
BBC posted it, though it doesn't say who explicately wrote the article.
It connects to what we are studying in class because we are at the peak of Stalin's cult of personality in the mid 30s after he took power, this shows what people though of him right after his death when like it was "ok" to be honest about how you felt about Stalin. Which also enhances it because you get three perspectives on the issue 2 more and 1 against Stalin's rule showing that us that their was mix feelings on his rule.
Some limitations we face is that its a German journalist right after world war two where there could be some issues still from Russia invading Berlin in 1945. Also the one view you get from the anti Stalinist may have been pressured by the government since the new leader Khrushchev was trying to expose to the world what kind of brutal leader Stalin was.
