If you're into mythology/cryptozoology, I did some translation from Old Norse and Old Icelandic this summer to put together what is probably the most complete syntheses (in any language) of [[Hafgufa]] and [[Lyngbakr]], two legendary sea monsters.

Well, yes,
I discovered the answer to the mystery of why Mao adopted Stalinism and put it into History of the People's Republic of China (1949–1976)
A lot of people have wondered where he got those ideas. Turns out they came from History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolshevik): Short Course which was adopted by the Comintern as official history in 1938.
This solution was developed by Hua-yu Li, of Oregon State University and published in his book, Mao and the Economic Stalinization of China, 1948-1953, Rowman & Littlefield (February 17, 2006) (hardcover), pp. 266. ISBN 0742540537.
The introduction is on the publisher's website at

So yes, progress is made
