Valentine Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hi Everyone! I am doing my history IA and I am stuck on the limitations of this particular book. What are some general limitations of books I could mention in the OPVL? Or if any of you know this book or author specifically: A History of Russia by Riasanovsky. My IA is on Stolypin's agrarian reforms. Thank you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB_taking_over Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 The year of the book’s publication might be a limitation. For example, stuff written during the reign of Stalin (1924-1953) had access to far less documents than stuff written in the 1990’s. Due to censorship, not more recent docs Also, whatever camp the historian belongs to is a limitation. I am no familiar enough with Riasanovsky’s work to know where he stands, unfortunately. It can be a straight forward as since he’s an American, I cannot learn how a historian born in Russia would interpret the reforms. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted November 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thank you so much for your help. And what limitation could I say about an American author? I am also looking at Carol S. Leonard. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
