From the article, it looks like her progress accelerated a lot when she got nazi hagiographer Franz Kurowski marked as an unreliable source, then started tearing up everything where he was the only source.
I think the same approach could work starting with cleaning up the article on the Black Book Of Communism. Which is tabloid trash that was disavowed by the researchers who were consulted for it. And also the source of about half the Communism Bad myths.
Yeah, but also keep mind that between Russia/Ukraine, Trump's reelection, and Gaza's struggle, things have shifted quite a bit since that article was written.
Off the top of my head, Anne Applebaum would probably need to be towards the top of the list, as well.
