Immigration seems very likely to come up, defo over women. Presidency will most likely be the theme 1 essay because they have asked about changing political environment for the past two years. Not too sure what they will ask for theme 4.

hi i am, have you got any predictions for the questions? my teacher had predicted khrushchev/brezhnev economy and political theme for section A, terror or social developments for section B

Hey, My guess, is section A = brezhnev/krushchev government or Stalin's economy (Five Year Plans), section B = social welfare or media and propaganda

I've been going through quizlet flashcards until I get them 100% right and writing facts I continously get wrong on post it notes and sticking them on my wall. I've also been doing past paper questions and only using my facts on quizlet as re writing facts helps me remember. Hope this helps.

Hi, what do you think they would ask about Stalin's economy and media and prop? Have you practised any questions for this? If ya, could you lmk pls!!

For section A my guess is brezhnev/ Khrushchev gov too for theme 1 but for section B anticipating something on housing for theme 4 or religious attacks/ secret police for theme 3
I struggle with my time management a lot.. do you guys have any tips to improve on before the upcoming history exam?

I am prayinggg for a question on women in section B 😭😭 - interpretations you can never really be sure, maybe on appeasement? And then in Section A…hmm… it’s difficult! They’ve asked about Weimar in almost every single past paper in this Section so I really don’t know how they’d ask it again - though could be a potential question!


i am praying for a women section b i wouldnt even mind if it was comparing all 3 eras and imagine nazi economy or popular support would be amazing

It could be: "How far do you agree that the benefits of Stalin’s economic policies outweighed the costs in
the years 1928-50?" (from 2017)

And for media "How significant was state control of the
mass media and propaganda in sustaining
the Soviet regime in the years 1917
-85?" (From 2019)

And yeah i agree housing for section B because its never come up ☺️

Housing would be a fit question tbh
If it was on Khrushchev and brezhnevs gov, what would peoples 3 themes be?

For me, I would probs do secret police, party-state relations, and economy.

This question has already explicitly come up.
For this question, I say that they were fundamentally similar to a small extent.
p1) - the fundamental differences in degrees of centralisation. Despite the continued use of nomenklatura to ensure party loyalty, this was built up during the Brezhnev era but not fundamental change.

p2) - However, the use of cult of personality to push policy was a feature of both leaders governance that saw little to no change.

p3) - The approach to policy was fundamentally similar. Khruschev's government saw a heavy focus on agriculture as it was placed at the centre of planning again with around 1/4 of GDP spent on it in the early 60's. Yes the policy's may have been 100% re3ar3ed (VGL), they still were a clear victory over the military/industrial complex which had been at the centre of Gosplan's concerns for decades under the Stalinist model.

These factors are very interchangeable and there are decent stats in the book to talk about.
As mentioned above, this question is unlikely to come up again as it has been asked point blank before.
Also, the question is unlikely to be just assessing the provision of 'housing', it will be more general into enquiring how the communist scum used their welfare state to degrade the spirit of the people. (you get what i mean)
Hope this helps

what do you think then could come up for theme 1? Also, Brezhnev/ Khrushchev hasn't come up in over four years I think so there is a strong chance of it coming up
