Last year there was no Stalin question so it will definitely be there this year (especially because lots of teacher's complained about it.)

what types of stalin question would there be you think?

maybe about the extent to which stalin achieved an authoritarian state or something.

They haven't done is Stalin totalitarian in a few years, so it could be that? But idk

 

[ur a ratt]

maybe either nature of stalinism, or impact on stalinism?

In reference to the Cold War, my teacher said they like to give essay questions on dot point 2 (being an event question eg, talk on prauge spring or cuban missiles crisis etc..), and dot point 4 (but specifically a personality question)
But this is all hypothetical, I have no real predictions

anymore updates for this guys?

What are you thoughts on these questions for Russia, will they appear or not:

1. Evaluate the view that Stalin had complete control over the USSR by
1941

2. How successful was Soviet Foreign Policy in achieving its aims between 1917-1941

The first one is basically a 'was he totalitarian question' just worded a bit differently so I think it could, just because they haven't done it in a few years.

I think that 2nd Q is really interesting cause it combines two dot points, thats a lot of ground to cover🫠
