Russia and the USSR, 1855-1991

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; and, 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; and, 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.
