Maybe something like "How far do you agree that the successes of Soviet economic policy outweighed the failures
in the years 1953–85?"

What theme 1 questions do you think would come up?

They often kinda repeat question topics so maybe religion or education. They haven't asked about other aspects of social security like housing, healthcare etc so they might come up. Potentially media again? Usually section A is about economy/style of government, so maybe another question comparing Khrushchev and Brezhnev again? Last years paper section A was limited to Lenin and Stalin so they might focus on those two or maybe 1928-64??

Do you think Secret Police could be a question?

looking like religion or secret police for theme3 with stalin potential for theme1, not to sure so keep revising anything. Women came up last year so wouldnt weigh that in to heavily to your revision

don't think arts and culture will come up cause it came up last year too

No too sure, honestly! The questions are often about the nature of gov. They've done How accurate is it to say that Khrushchev’s approach to government was fundamentally similar to Brezhnev’s approach to government? so maybe they might do the opposite and say "fundamentally different" as I believe they've done this with Lenin and Stalin. Last year was on Lenin and Stalin so it would make sense to ask maybe about K & B. Maybe they could do this style of question but with Stalin and Khrushchev? Or Stalin and Brezhnev? I remember one of the Qs in the textbook was something like "How far was Khrushchev able to bring fundamental change to the system of government established by Stalin?" so personally I think it'll be another comparison between govs/leaders

Yeah definitely! They haven't asked a question on that since 2017 I think (and women was on the 2017 paper too and it was on last year's paper). Obviously it's all guesses but they do seem to repeat topics so I think it's likely!

My guess is that itll be focused on religious attacks

Think they could ask about the extent of Secret Police or how it changed. What do you think?

Yeah I think so. Anything I guess about it's significance in maintaining control e.g. very important under Stalin but less so Khrushchev. Or yeah about how far it changed? So you could talk about methods, purpose etc.

for section a do you think it’ll be a choice between a political and economic question? it normally is right?

and for section b, do you think it’ll be a choice between a control of the people and social question? again it normally is?

and for section c it’s very hard to predict apparently but maybe something in glasnost or democratisation

hi again, do you have insta or snap so we can talk about it a bit easier? what i mean is we do it by themes (1 = political, 2 = economic 3 = control of the people and 4 = social (women/education/social stability) — do you reckon there will be a choice of theme 1/2 in section A and a choice of theme 3/4 in section B? — and obvs theme 5 is the collapse
