The French page on this is an utter stub. Could a native French speaker translate what we have here? seglea 20:59, 23 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Identification of "Romans, France"

I have pointed the link on "Romans" (town in France) to Romans, Deux-Sèvres. If anyone believes this to be incorrect please revise the link. ("Romans" as such is a disambiguation page, not an article.) Thanks. --Disambiguation link repair - You can help! --Iggle 08:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add an English translation to the bibliography. "Le Climat depuis l'an Mil" exists in an English translation: Le Roy Ladurie, E., Times of Feast, Times of Famine: A History of Climate since the Year 1000, trans. Barbara Bray (London, 1972).

Key Source

This article and the bibliography seems to be very similar to the section on Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie in Marnie Hughes-Warrington's Fifty Key Thinkers in History. Perhaps a reference is needed if that is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekkr (talk • contribs) 23:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bukharin's torture

The reference to Bukharin's reason for confession requires citation, in my opinion, and the fact of his torture by the NKVD far as I know is not supported or at least contested. See, for example: Hellbeck, Jochen. “With Hegel to Salvation: Bukharin's Other Trial.” Representations, vol. 107, no. 1, 2009, pp. 56–90. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/rep.2009.107.1.56

I would remove the phrase "but the truth was rather more brutal and sordid: Bukharin had been psychologically "broken" after months of torture by the NKVD, and had been reduced to such a state that he was willing to "confess" to anything", what to replace it with, if anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LemuelCushing (talk • contribs) 13:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The entire lengthy paragraph explaining the contents of Darkness at Noon in detail has no place in this article, except for the initial and last two sentences, which contain ELRL's take on it. Even so, the importance of this episode remains to be demonstrated and can hardly be a substitute for a factual account of ELRL's involvement in PCF's politics.
