In the citing paper
“On a grand scale, the film reflects the Stalinist aim of projecting a secure, happy Soviet childhood – as Margeret Peacock frames it, 'a hopeful vision of an abundant future', with the family abode implicitly safeguarded by national defence (Peacock 2014, 1) – by utterly separating the civilian and combatant realms in a way that does not correspond to the historical reality of this battle.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
