homework for April 29

For tonight, watch the first 29 minutes of the documentary Stalin Man of Steel, linked up here and available on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/OfhjV5E0j1o

Then, to add further cheer, watch the first 22 minutes of the biography of Mao that is linked up here. It has been taken down from YouTube, but may be available elsewhere on the web.
