Once again I will refer to Dessalines' links.

https://dessalines.github.io/essays/socialism_faq.html#on-mao-maoism-and-marxism-leninism-maoism-and-the-prc

https://dessalines.github.io/essays/socialism_faq.html#on-the-ussr -- has links about Ukraine

These are bad links because they are from a biased source and not properly cited.

There are no unbiased sources. Zero. Because that's not how politics or the world works.

Also, I fail to see how they're badly cited. It's literally a giant list of links to books, historical records, news articles, and write-ups by other socialists that are also cited.

The sources range wildly, some are just images and links to podcasts or articles. For example the “How many people did the Great Leap Forward kill” link just goes to a Reddit comment on r/communism where the OP just says “it’s fine… there were famines all the time in China!”.
