THE STALIN PROJECT
In 2005, the National Endowment for Humanities awarded a grant to create a textbook and a website about Stalinism for high school teachers and college professors. The Stalin Project provides a multi-media look at this time period with the hope that students will be better able to understand the vital lessons from this chapter of history.
The WEBSITE includes:
An overview of the Stalinist period
An extensive database of images and other primary source documents
Interviews of purge survivors
A PDF version of the textbook (see below)
A teacher page with teaching resources
In-depth lesson plans developed by leading academics in the field
The TEXTBOOK includes:
Original texts from over 20 scholars in the field, including 2 Pulitzer Prize winners
Three levels of text which allows learners of all levels to access the materials
