Russia practice questions

Russia practice questions

  • How far is it accurate to say that the outbreak of the 1905 Revolution was more to do with economic than political issues?
  • ‘The essential features of autocracy survived the 1905 Revolution’.  How far do you agree with this statement?
  • How successful was Communist economic policy in the years 1918-24?
  • ‘The survival of Tsarism, in the years 1894-1904, was primarily due to the work of the Okhrana’.  How far do you agree with this statement?
  • How accurate is it to say that the Petrograd Soviet undermined the power of the Provisional Government consistently between March and October 1917?
  • How accurate is it to say that Kerensky’s political failings were primarily responsible for the downfall of the Provisional Government by October 1917?
  • How significant was the Kornilov affair in the downfall of the Provisional Government?
  • How significant was the role of Red Terror in the development of Lenin’s government in the years 1917-21?
  • The survival and consolidation of Communist government in Russia, in the years 1918-21, owed more to Trotsky’s leadership of the Red Army than to the weaknesses of the opposition’.  How far do you agree with this statement?
  • How far did divisions amongst the Communists’ opponents lead to Communist victory in the Civil War (1918-21)?
  • How far did the failure of foreign intervention contribute to the victory of the Red Army in the Civil War (1918-21)?

Why not plan some of these 20 mark questions?
