Nancy's source

I don't recall that anyone (myself included) asked James if Pearcy
footnoted her reference. I don't
recall that James gave a reference from Pearcy's account. Did she
provide a written source for her
assertion that Stalin read Darwin in seminary and afterwards became an
atheist? If she gave a
reference, then one could check it out and assess the soundness of the
source. If she did not, then
I wonder about the quality of her scholarship. How about it, James?
 
In response to George I said:

[snip] Nancy's footnote says the story was originally told in E.
Yaroslavsky Landmarks in the Life of stalin, 8-9."

However, i don't know this source.
