A Research paper by Kyle Ramirez for Mr. C's 2nd period class
             Josef Stalin and the KGB were huge influences on the Russian Revolution.

Not even Stalin himself, if alive could tell you the whole story. Therefore, no encyclopedia or any source could have the full story although they may come close; they can never get the whole truth. If no one can get the full story, no one will know what really happened, and so no one is right.
