Has Boris Sokolov ever fudged numbers, committed plagiarism or otherwise committed any sort of, ah, "un-historian-like" act in any of his works?

​

Context: Military History Visualized made/uploaded a video about the impact of LendLease on the Eastern Front, and the Russians who follow him immediately jumped on him when they saw Sokolov as a source. I am aware that like every historian on the planet, Sokolov is biased and that alone does not disqualify his contributions. I am merely wondering if there is any truth to the matter.

Edit: A prelimary glance at the Russian Wikipedia entry for Boris Sokolov does mention that he, for lack of a better term, perpetuates "hoaxes" with citations to some of these disproven "hoaxes". However, given that all these accusations are in Russian amd from Russia, I'm not terribly convinced and might do a personal study on the issue once and for all, but I'd like a few clues to get started.

Stupid question of the day.

Were the labels printed old time-y medicine bottles (like these pictures), say circa 1850-1915, printed on white paper with black ink? Are they mostly all yellowed after so many years? Printed on already yellow paper? Or some other color combination I'm not thinking of?

That is, what would these labels have looked like new?

Was there a racism or classism based on skin color in the early civ's around the Mediterranean? Or was this just a colonial construct and never seen prior?

I only ask because the Mediterranean is home to a good swatch of skin tones and surly these peoples intermingled with each other?

Can someone help find a quote where LBJ said that without MLK he would not have pushed congress to pass the voting rights bill?

I m desperate to find any help about this subject i looked everywhere in internet and found nothing Why did Lenin allow Finland to become independent when The Bolshevist government of Russia led by Lenin approve Finland's independence and heissued the Declaration of the Rights of the Peoples establish their own independent which let Many nations declared independence?

Please remove if this question is out of bounds here.

Where can I find a 1901 anti-lynching pamphlet by one Samuel Burdett, titled A Test of Lynch Law: An Expose of Mob Violence and the Courts of Hell? My university library states that it, and I quote, "cannot be acquired from any library".

Where do historians go to find such sources if not the library? I have contacted the scholar who references the work but he has not replied.

Is it known how Wang Zhenyi died? Her wiki article mentions "when she knew she was dying" so it must have been some illness of some kind, but I can't seem to find any more details.

Who or what is "Saint Amholing"?

I'm pretty certain it's not a real saint, and also pretty certain it's something rude - it comes from an English Civil complaint about women using religion to cover up their sexual urges.

O! these lasses that can rise and get them ready by Six a Clock in the morning to go to Christ church, And then in the Afternoon to go to Saint Amholing O! how they listen for that Tinkle Tinkle bell that raises them in a morning to a stirring exercise.

"Am holen" appears to mean "in the hole" in Dutch, which might not be coincidence.

Yes a second horrible histories question-it's my favorite TV show.

There had a sketch where their said after a certain time period, that Pharaohs tombs were hidden(I think underground as they said),and they compared it to Tutankhamun-despite that, they never said what kind of tomb it was, just that it was hidden, when I looked up Tutankhamun's tomb, it only said that it was smaller compared to the other ones-okay helpful but when I looked at the other Pharaohs in the 18th dynasty(*Tut is from this), their tombs won't said to be "smaller" than the others.

So my question is this-where their hidden tombs, and if sure, can you please tell me what years their were built in.

Here's the transcript for this, it’s the first sketch so you can just scroll down:r/https://subsaga.com/bbc/childrens/horrible-histories/series-3/episode-7.html

Did Black Death plague fizzle out by itself or were some of the countermeasures effective?

I was wondering if there were any historians who could vouch for the credibility of Claude Lecouteux, or had any experience with his work?

I'm in the process of trying to evaluate his credibility right now, but I'm struggling to find solid academic reviews. I've found a few but they're either in French or partially obscured by a paywall. What I read of them seemed relatively positive though. Despite this, there are some red flags I'm rather concerned about, so I'd like to supplement my judgement as a layman with the counsel of more knowledgeable scholars.

Is there a consensus on whether it was voluntary or compulsory to be on the lot for the Council of 500 in Athens? I've heard on the one hand that it would have been voluntary because lot-based magistracies were, but I've also heard that Socrates' being on the Council in 406 is evidence for it being compulsory because he claimed to have otherwise avoided participation in democratic bodies.

There's an old, bitter British joke that the only thing their American allies ever charged in World War 1 was 10% interest. I'm having some difficulty finding out what the Americans actually did charge on the loans to their allies. Does anyone know? Also, how it changed throughout the war?

What, in your opinion, is the best book/guide on historiography? I've read quite a lot on topics I'm interested in but literally nothing on the actual science (not sure if that's the correct word) of academic history. I'd like to get a better understanding of how to approach different kinds of sources, spot bias, and gather my findings in a way that would be appropriate in a place like r/AskHistorians

Are there any books about how the arrangement of furniture has changed over the last 500 years in the west/europe, particular in the home and in the family space?

I've toured plenty of estates and such with seating pushed up against the walls, and I've read that to some extent that's for the benefit of tourists but to some extent it's a very real representation of how the space would be physically used by family members and their guests.

Is there a good way to be informed of any new publications in my area of interest, such as a "Google Alert" for new academic papers?

Was the IJN Hiryū officially a Sōryū-class Aircraft Carrier, or were the differences between the two sufficient enough that the Navy formally classed it separately?

What is the earliest record we have of people wearing double-tongue belts?

Before the modern day, how did soldiers deal with the noise of constantly shooting firearms?

What would the/a crown worn by King Leonidas have looked like? I read that the crowns of the ancient Spartans differed between bloodlines so with that I’d imagine it wasn’t the same as Romans wore at the time?

Anyone able to recommend any good nonfiction dealing w/ancient India (I know, no such thing, but you know what I mean) and/or Hinduism? Histories/religious history/mythology—anything. I found a couple of books several years ago at a used bookshop (sorry, can’t remember titles/authors) and they were interesting... but clearly suffered from a fair amount of imperialist bias.

Out of Newman, Bernard, and Pulling, in what order did Paul Revere meet them in person, or at least meet first, on April 18, 1775?

In other words, regarding North American history, I'm wondering how many people--of those aforementioned three--Paul Revere actually met that day, and in what order (if there is an order).

Would anyone have any recommendations for books about Japanese culture and daily life in the medieval/early modern era (Azuchi–Momoyama and Edo periods)? I’m interested in how the various social classes (from farmers to the shogan/emperor) lived day-to-day. Any books that focuses on one or more than one would be of interest. Thank you!

Can someone help find a an historian interpretation who believe the us government played the biggest role in the success in the African-American civil right movement and a historian interpretation who believes a person or group played the biggest role in the success in the African-American civil right movement

What are the best online sources (don't have easy access to a physical library at the moment) to research the Ottomans and the Mughals? Particularly aspects of things like daily life, politics, harems, etc.

I recently saw "The Insult" and without saying any spoiler it touches some topics like the hatred between lebanese Christian and Palestinian refugees and somethings about Ariel Sharon and his genocide, is there a good book about the reasons behind that hatred? And overall the political conflicts in Middle East. If I understood correctly it happened in the 80's and 90's so I hope it isn't against the rules.

By the start of WW2, had the British government acknowledged their earlier support for Mussolini?

Do we know what are the biggest trends at the moment within the historiography of Early Modern Britain?

When did the US Armed forces first participate as an armed combatant in Word War 2?

I know this seems obvious as the US did not officially declare war until after Pearl harbour. But, I have been told that the US Navy participated in antisubmarine activities on the east coast of the United States prior to that hateful day and did in fact fire depth charges etc... on Nazi submarines in support of the Royal Navy or the Canadian Navy (I think it was around June 1941 - but I am most likely incorrect on that) well before December 7th. Is this true? And if so, do we have any record of the first use of US fired armaments against Axis powers?
