  Article from TheCollector, in-depth history of Whyte and analysis of his letter to Staln

• https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/communist-pioneer-gay-rights

  Not a reliable source on everything, but can be used (with in-text attribution) for Whyte's legacy as a British communist. Also mentions a lot of sources of the era (intelligence reports, for example) I can try to go looking for

• https://www.summerhall.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Parallel-Lives-Catalogue.pdf

  Probably not reliable on this subject (activism/arts publication), but includes a timeline of Whyte's life and activities that I can try to find where they got that information from

  Not a RS, but useful for in-line attrib for legacy

  Another translation here, I wonder if it's different: https://www.marxist.com/letter-to-stalin-can-a-homosexual-be-in-the-communist-party.htm

• https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11497107

  Archive of some government records relating to Whyte, if not in TWL may need to pay for it

• https://news.columbia.edu/events/exhibit-moscow-gay-cruising-sites-soviet-capital-1920s-1980s, info for an exhibit from 2019, not particularly useful in and of itself (maybe a legacy section?) but could be useful to find related info
• https://parniplus.com/lgbt-movement/lgbt-istoriya/pismo-stalinu/, 2022 article on it, mostly quotes but has some good context
• https://www.novorosinform.org/stalin-i-sovetskie-gomoseksualisty-71019.html, entirely unreliable, but has a ton of info about Whyte that I've been unable to find elsewhere and seems unlikely they'd fake. Need to find where they got that from.
• https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/1192527.html, has a picture/scan of the letter, find a better source for it?
• https://daily.afisha.ru/culture/23269-mozhet-li-gomoseksualist-sostoyat-v-kommunisticheskoy-partii-kak-v-sssr-borolis-s-geyami/ no idea how reliable this is but it has a lot of info and historical context, will look later

• https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1057/9781137444110_4, citation 95 is to a translation of the letter to stalin, need to find it

To do:

• Check TWL and newspapers.com, and other archives. Definitely some academic coverage beyond Healey
• Search for Russian sources
