Source (C) is most similar to source (B) because it shows Stalin as a king type figure. Everyone is eager to shake his hand and there are smiles of joy as Stalin congratulates wives of army officers and unveils a magnificent state of the art power station.

QUESTION (4)
In source (I) there are four defendants and Stalin is the judge, all the defendants are scared into guilt, so they own up to what they have done because Stalin is scaring them. This shows that no one stands a chance of being proved not guilty because Stalin’s trails are fixed.
Source (J) on the other hand prosecutes the defendants by cheating in a more eccentric way. Stalin is the judge, jury and executioner and is clearly fixed it so the court has only one opinion giving the defendant no chance.
Both sources say that Stalin trails were show trails meaning “fixed”, however source (I) was attempting to scare the defendants into guilt and source (J) gave the defendants no chance to plead their innocence because the judge, jury and executioner have the same opinions, and personality of Stalin, meaning the defendant has no waves of defence.

QUESTION (3)
Source (E) would sound to anybody out of Russia a little over the top with its use of extravagant language. The writer is ether brainwashed by Stalin’s polices or he is wrote this to follow the censorship laws of Russia. Another possibility is that this was just written in aid to please Stalin at the congress of soviets in 1935.
There are a lot of arguments behind source (F). You could argue that Bukharin, (the writer) had a feud with Stalin when he fell into one of his purges, so that Bukharin lied to increase people opinion on him and to crease Stalin’s image. However Bukharin’s quote my have truth behind it because there is no censorship laws in Paris where it was released and people in France may believe this because they may think he’s “a narrow-minded, malicious man” and devil like person in their own opinion after seeing what he has done to billions of people.
Both sources (E) and (F) are both reliable and un-reliable in different ways.
Source (F) may be said to be reliable because it is not censored, and it is clear to most people that Stalin is NOT greater than any one else, and he is a malicious and narrow-minded man for the things he has done to human beings.

QUESTION (2)
In source (D) Stalin tries to make himself a popular caring man by using a simple kind of propaganda. He attempts to make people think he concerned about people’s welfare to others. It proves that he cares about what people’s opinion is of him. It is an attempt to redeem himself from murdering millions of people.
It seems that he is trying to mock Siberia and the leaders of different countries as well as making him self sound like a great person.
Stalin had an insecure personality and was hypocritical over everything. He did this to make himself seem like a people person and a good leader. Instead people got the wrong impression. People didn’t believe what he was saying was true because it was so hypocritical.
