Behind the Urals: An American Worker in Russia’s City of Steel is a book written as a firsthand account on writer John Scott’s life in Soviet Russia. First-hand accounts are generally biased to some extent but it is not hard to separate true facts and opinions. Behind the Urals is a good primary source and the author’s opinion, ideals, and beliefs are glossed over through the memoir, and his efforts to remain objective were recognized.

Smith used both primary sources and secondary sources. "According to the Ithaca College Library, a primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, object, person, or work of art and a secondary source describe, discuss, interpret, comment upon, analyze, evaluate, summarize, and process primary sources."
