I am equally vague on Trotsky...
How specific can the questions be, do you know? Most of the past ones (for the second part, not the describing first part) have been pretty general ie Trotsky's role in consolidation of power or the Trotsky-Stalin power struggle. I can't really think there's much else they can ask us, unless they get really specific on individual events or something eg Civil War (in which case that's ten marks down the drain for me). Does anyone have any wacky innovative essay questions they can provide?
