I found the CIA document that "Stalinist Katyusha" references: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP80T00246A032000400001-1.pdf Is it better to refer to this directly? It is a primary source after all, whereas Stalinist Katyusha is secondary.

That's a good question. The CIA document is more authoritative as a source, but the Stalinist Katyusha website has more intent. If we linked the CIA document people would essentially have to trudge through it themselves as it's just "raw data" of sorts. The Stalinist Katyusha website picks the appropriate data from the report and contextualises and explains it as well, which we could do ourselves too but I think it would require quite a bit of extra writing on the page. Until then I think we should keep the source to the website, and as we incorporate what it says on the page, we can start linking to the report itself (preferably as different sources each time so we can link pages)
I wouldn't link to the CIA website directly from PW though lol, I would reupload the document to our files. We could even OCR it and upload it to the library.
Are you up for it @esoteridesu?
