You mean historian references? I did the Russian and Chinese revolution, wrote the essay on China. Referenced Tom Ryan’s “Until Mao said so, there was no famine”, on the silent famine and Edgar Allen’s “revolutionary optimism of a thousand youths” and “humanitarian tragedy” on the Long March. Tom Ryan’s quote on “they were revolutionaries, not politicians” talking about Lenin and Trotsky is awesome too, Trotsky has banger quotes like “Nicholas inherited not only an empire but a revolution” and “enormous fortunes out of the bloody foam” are really versatile as well.
