These channels translated events in Russia into programmes and debates relevant to workers in other countries. Option A is correct because it identifies both organised political activity and the spread of ideas. Options B, C and D are unsuitable: royal courts and feudal tax records were not the principal means of mobilising workers, and Church sermons alone cannot explain the international growth of socialist politics. The influence travelled through people and institutions that discussed class, exploitation, equality and workers’ rights, allowing local movements to connect with a wider international current.

The Russian Revolution attracted attention in colonial countries because it appeared to challenge imperial domination and promised a society based on greater equality. Its message encouraged colonised people to imagine that established rulers, landlords and imperial powers could be opposed and that political and economic arrangements could be transformed. Option C is correct because the revolution raised hopes of freedom, social equality and an end to exploitation. Option A is wrong because the revolution opposed hereditary privilege rather than defending it. Option B is wrong because it did not present feudal rent as an ideal. Option D is the opposite of its anti-imperialist appeal. The discussion was therefore linked to the possibility of liberation and radical social change.
