Description
From a renowned name in A Level history publishing, this is a Questions and Analysis title on a major period in Russian History. With all three exam boards offering modules on this popular subject at A Level, this book is an absolute must-have.
Looking at the many different aspects of the period 1855-1991 that are covered in A Level history, Stephen J. Lee examines and compares:
the ideologies of Tsarist autocracy and Soviet communism
parties and opposition to these regimes
the use of repression and terror
agriculture
industry
the class structure
the 1917 revolution
the impact of the First and Second World Wars on Russia.
Key elements of this book include:
each topic/issue forms a well-structured chapter: background; analysis; sources with questions; worked answers
a prominent historiography section - an important element of the new A2 history assessment
an incorporated A2 synoptic approach that teaches students to draw together their entire range of knowledge and skills to study one topic
guidance on how to answer the recently-introduced synoptic questions.
Involving the importance of understanding the connections between the essential characteristics of historical study, this key title is the one-stop shop for all history teachers and students.
