IRL 9

http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/bios/all_bio_joseph_stalin.htm

This source is a biography of Joseph Stalin. It relates to our work in class on Stalin. It adds to our background knowledge of him so that we can better understand why he did the things he did. It discusses his childhood and his deformed arm, which led to his desire for respect. It then transitions this into the life of Stalin that we have already studied, and is consist with what we have learned. PBS is a reputable source and the extension is .org, which means it is not for profit. However, as a television station funded by the government its views may be more biased than most American views on the subject.
