Question

You decided to write a research paper on the idea that Catherine the Great of Russia was the greatest monarch that ever lived. You have sources from the Catherine the Great Historical Society, articles from the Russian newspaper and handouts from The Hermitage, the art museum that Catherine the Great created. Pitfalls in credibility?

Answer 1

They're all biased towards her. For example, a museum she created will obviously look more favorably upon Catherine, right? Look for sources with a little more distance from her. Like from a British historian or something.
