like they used previous 2020/21 questions for their essay question this yr.
For russia that would be good for this thread's predictions bc 2020-21 had bolshevik consolidation, power struggle and political transformation

QA. Assess the importance of leading Bolshevik figures on the outcome of the power struggle between Trotsky and Stalin. (25 Marks)

OR

QB. To what extent did the Soviet state maintain Bolshevik ideology in practice? (25 Marks)
QA. Assess the political, social and economic impacts of the Bolshevik consolidation of power on the Soviet Union.

OR

QB. To what extent did the use of terror contribute to the political transformation of the Soviet State under Stalin?

heard that ancient got a repurposed question for their essay, could be the same for modern
was it directly repurposed or was it the same syllabus point? also was it because they ran out?

Am I taking too big a risk by doing essay plans on just Emergence of Stalin, Bolshevik Consolidation of Power, and Political Transformation? Should I do power struggle too?

idkk id prep totalitarianism asw, emergence of stalin is basically power struggle so u shld be fine, but i guess i'd also make sure to pay attention to key features like ideology + competing visions for emergence of stal/power struggle dotpoint

You could talk about the NEP resulting in the need for 5 year plans and collectivization, you could talk about the precedent set by Lenin dealing with opposition using the Cheka and how it resulted in the excessive use of terror. For political I'd maybe mention how Lenin focused on practical approaches to running the country more than ideology, which resulted in Stalin adopting "socialism in one country" idea

Yep - favoured pragmatic decisions which kept the revolution alive rather than world wide communism. 🐐
