View question detailsPravda was useful because a political newspaper could communicate socialist arguments, party programmes, interpretations of events, and practical calls to action to workers and other readers.

Such a newspaper functioned as an instrument of political education and propaganda. It was not limited to weather reports, did not promote worship of the Tsar, and had no purpose of hiding grain.

Option A is correct because it identifies this international fear of socialist revolutionary movements. Option B is false because the revolution weakened and finally removed Tsarist rule. Option C is false because workers' movements gained encouragement rather than ending. Option D is false because European kings did not all become socialists.
