Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It linked military preparation of the uprising with Soviet politics
Explanation: The Military Revolutionary Committee was important because it connected political authority with practical military action. It worked under the Petrograd Soviet and helped organise soldiers, sailors, guards, communications and important places. Thus, the uprising was not merely a sudden street disturbance; it was planned and coordinated through an institution linked with the revolutionary political body.
Option A is correct because it expresses both parts of this role: military preparation and Soviet politics. The committee helped decide how power would be taken and directed forces during the action. The other choices are unrelated: it did not restore the Tsar, turn the Duma into a market, or prolong the war for twenty years. Therefore, its decisive contribution was organised seizure of power under Soviet leadership.
18 Why is the land question central to understanding peasant support?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because peasant life and rural power relations depended on land
Explanation: The direct answer is A: peasant life and rural power relations depended on land. To understand peasant support during the Russian Revolution, begin with the fact that most peasants lived in villages and depended on land for food, income, and security. Land was also connected with social power: landlords and the old ruling order controlled large areas, while many peasants had too little land or had to pay dues. Therefore, the demand for land made peasants oppose the old system and support revolutionary change. Option A is correct because it connects both livelihood and rural authority with land. Option B is wrong because peasants worked mainly in agriculture, not only in factories. Option C is wrong because agricultural land was mainly in the countryside, not only in cities. Option D is wrong because peasants did have strong political interests when laws, taxes, war, and land ownership affected their lives. Memory cue: when a question asks about peasant support, first think “land, livelihood, and landlord power.”
23 Which is a balanced evaluation of the Russian Revolution?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It opened the way for social and economic change, but also led to political centralisation and repression.
Explanation: The Russian Revolution ended Tsarist rule, initiated major social and economic changes concerning land, industry, and workers, and paved the way for a socialist state. However, it also increased centralisation of power, suppression of political opposition, and one-party control. Therefore, option A is balanced because it recognises both achievements and limitations. Option C is incorrect because the Revolution ended, rather than strengthened, Tsarist rule. Exam tip: a balanced evaluation usually includes both positive and negative consequences.
24 What political tension became clear when the Bolsheviks dissolved the Constituent Assembly after elections?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Conflict between the claim of Soviet power and the principle of parliamentary majority
Explanation: Bolsheviks gave more importance to Soviet power than the parliamentary assembly. Exam tip: link it with post-revolution political centralisation.
25 Formation of institutions like the Cheka after the Revolution shows which concern of Bolshevik rule?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Protecting the new regime from opponents and Civil War threats
Explanation: An institution like the Cheka was linked with security of power and control of opposition. Exam tip: remember both security policy and limits on political freedom.
