Question 1HardLevel 23
What was one of the most difficult social problems before the new government after the Russian Revolution?
Correct answer: A
Governing after revolution was a different challenge from making a movement. Exam tip: see revolution and rule as different stages.
Which major feature identifies the Russian Revolution of October 1917?
Correct answer: A
In October 1917, the Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government and established their rule. The Tsar abdicated in February. Exam tip: link October with Bolshevik power.
Why was the Menshevik idea of broad party membership different from the Bolshevik view?
Correct answer: A
Mensheviks wanted a broad organisation while Bolsheviks wanted a disciplined small party. Exam tip: connect the split with organisational disagreement.
Why did Russia's military defeats in the First World War destabilise domestic politics?
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is A. Russia’s defeats in the First World War exposed weaknesses in the Tsarist government, including poor military leadership, inadequate supplies, transport failures, and ineffective administration. Millions of soldiers were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner, while shortages of food and fuel affected cities and families. The Tsar’s decision to take personal command of the army also connected him directly with military failure and left the government at home associated with unpopular decisions. Soldiers lost confidence, civilians became angry, and strikes and protests grew. Options B and C are opposite to the historical situation because war brought suffering rather than prosperity and did not satisfy peasant demands for land. Option D is false because the Provisional Government remained temporary and was later overthrown.
