Hi guys!!! What do yall think they might ask this year for the Russia topic?
also, do you know whether this would be from the conslidation section or "stalinism" for last years question
"Assess the political, social and economic impacts of the Bolshevik consolidation of power on the Soviet Union."

I reckon they might ask a question on the Economic transformation under Stalin (since they did the political transformation last year) - could also be social/cultural. I pray they don't ask anything again on the Bolshevik Consolidation of Power (I'm just disregarding the survey), but they might ask about the power struggle since they already did Stalin's emergence in 2019 and consolidation of power in 2020.

That's from the first dotpoint of the consolidation section; its asking for the impact of the Bolshevik consolidation not the impact of Stalinism.

They could probs ask why Stalin emerged successful in the power struggle that took place after Lenin's death. E.g. this was a past HSC question:

"What was striking about the General Secretary was that there was nothing striking about him."

Assess the importance of personality in Stalin's successful pursuit of power after the death of Lenin.

SAMEEEEE i literally don't understand the foreign policy shit at all, it's so boring ugh

idk maybe something like "Explain the reasons for the power struggle between Stalin, Trotsky and other leading Bolshevik figures in the 1920s." - or it could relate to competing visions.
That's the only type of question they haven't asked yet from the "Consolidation section", they could repeat a similar question to 2019 and ask reasons for Stalin's emergence. But I'll always take a "Stalin transformation" question over that any day.

I'd put money (and pray) that there's at least an economic transformation or social/cultural transformation question this year cos they haven't asked any of them yet. And if they ask a soviet foreign policy question (which is equally likely as a Stalin transformation question) it would be on the role of ideology, cos they already asked about the aims in 2019.

do you know whether they could ask a question directly from the survey for the essay modules?
