Russia 1855-1956 OCR

No you dont need to know any historians views - thats historical investigations. I took the russia paper in january and got an A but i didnt actually learn that much information. Basically i just grouped all the past essays together and for each similar type of essay i learnt what criteria i'd write about. that way you already have a decent structure in the exam and its one less thing to worry about cos (believe me) you will be pushed for time! For example, for a question on say, how the peasantry were treated by tsars/communists or continuity/change id use FROGS

F - freedom of movement
R - rights
O - ownership of land
G - government interference
S - standards of living

i think thats right...it was six months ago after all! Seriously if you learn them like that it will save you soooo much trouble - i still remember that today! Good luck guys hope the questions are ok!! x
