05 Why was the Socialist Revolutionary Party popular among peasants?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It gave importance to the peasants' land question
Explanation: The direct answer is Option A: the Socialist Revolutionary Party gave importance to the peasants’ land question. In Russia, most peasants depended on land for food and livelihood, but much land was controlled by landlords, the Church, or the state. The SRs supported the peasants’ demand for land redistribution and therefore gained support in the countryside. Option A is correct because it identifies the central reason for their popularity. Option B is wrong: the SRs were not a party only of large industrialists; that description does not explain peasant support. Option C is wrong because they opposed the autocratic Tsarist system rather than strengthening it. Option D is wrong because removing workers from villages was not their main programme and has no connection with their land policy. Exam cue: connect the SRs with peasants, land, and redistribution.
06 What was the main organisational difference between Bolsheviks and Mensheviks?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Bolsheviks wanted a disciplined small party and Mensheviks wanted a broad party
Explanation: The organisational dispute concerned who should be a member of the revolutionary party and how tightly the party should be organised. Lenin’s Bolsheviks favoured a relatively small, disciplined and closely coordinated party of committed professional revolutionaries. The Mensheviks preferred a broader party with a larger membership and a less restrictive structure, believing that a wider workers’ organisation was more appropriate. Both groups were socialist and opposed the Tsarist system, so the difference was not that one merely advised the Tsar or that both abandoned politics. Option C accurately states the main organisational contrast.
08 Why could democracy not become strong in Russia even after the Duma was formed?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The Tsar could control and dissolve the Duma
Explanation: The Duma was created as an elected representative assembly after the 1905 Revolution, but it did not possess full democratic authority. The Tsar retained extensive powers, including control over ministers, influence over the electoral system, and the ability to dismiss or dissolve the Duma. Its sessions and decisions were therefore subject to autocratic control, and repeated dissolutions weakened parliamentary development. Option A says the opposite of the historical situation. The Duma neither made peasants kings nor represented a foreign government. Option B correctly explains why its formation did not produce a strong democracy.
