    Tips for part b of the personality question?

    it's seems you're the only other person posting on here about Russia and Trotsky :) Well it's highly unlikely that they will ask specifically about his exile in A) because the question is usually "describe the rise to prominence" or "explain the significant events" and the question has to...

    It depends what the question is: It may be "Why did Stalin win the struggle over power" or something like "Explain why there was a struggle for power after Lenin's death" or "the power struggle was a conflict of ideologies. Assess this..."

    Russia - Impact of Purges, show trials and terror

    When it's talking about in conjunction with purges and show trials, then I'd say its all about Stalinism's impacts - I did an essay plan for this question, though you could probably tie Lenin in by contrasting his "red terror" with Stalin's Cheka

    Not usually, if there's a question on "emerging differences" or something early like "Truman doctrine" then it really can be anything

    This is my nightmare because I'm one of those "many people" haha, but as long as the power struggle question is something like "why did Stalin win the struggle over power" or "the power struggle was a conflict of ideologies, assess the accuracy of this statement"

    LoveHateSchool, in regards to your prediction that one Russia question will be on Stalinism I've just noticed that the 2007,08,09,10 (b) question were all on Stalinism Do you think this is a good indicator of a Stalinism question this year?

    Personality section should not be daunting anyway: Part A is basically their life with reference to "rise to prominence" or "significant events" and Part B is continuously relating to the quote or question We've all done two english papers already so it shouldn't be that hard to structure

    Official: 2012 Modern History HSC Exam predictions thread

    This is pretty accurate, our Independent trial paper had a question based around Collectivisation and Industrialisation so Stalinism is likely and Bolshevik consolidation of power would be excellent if it related to War Communism/NEP or the Civil War (I'm not too good on the general info)
