Question 1MediumLevel 28
In which concrete step was Bolshevik peace policy visible?
Correct answer: A
The Bolsheviks had promised peace to a population exhausted by the First World War. Their government negotiated with the Central Powers and signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918. Through this treaty, Russia withdrew from the war, although it had to accept severe territorial losses. This makes option A the correct answer because it is the specific diplomatic action that embodied the Bolshevik peace policy. The suspension of the Duma concerned political power, not ending the war. Returning Church property was not the relevant measure, and the Tsar was never restored by this policy.
Land policy helped Bolsheviks gain support from which social class?
Correct answer: A
Land was the central economic and political demand of millions of Russian peasants. The Bolsheviks issued measures that recognised the seizure and redistribution of landed estates, helping them win peasant support during the revolutionary crisis and Civil War. Although the Bolsheviks and peasants did not always share the same long-term vision, their land policy addressed an immediate and powerful rural demand. Therefore option A is correct. Foreign kings had no reason to support this redistributive programme, and church officials and old nobles generally lost property or privilege under revolutionary measures. The answer follows from the relationship between land hunger and peasant support.
Why could War Communism increase peasant discontent?
Correct answer: A
Under War Communism, the state requisitioned grain from peasants to supply cities and the Red Army. This left peasants with less grain for their own use or for sale, increasing their resentment. Control of banks or declaring peasants Tsars was not part of this policy. Exam tip: associate War Communism with grain requisitioning and state control.
Which is the correct example of symbolic and real changes after October?
Correct answer: A
After the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks also changed visible symbols of public life, including new uniforms for the army and officials. Nationalising banks brought the financial system under state control, making it a real economic change. The Tsar and absolute monarchy were not restored. Exam tip: uniforms, flags and titles usually indicate symbolic changes, whereas nationalisation is a policy-based economic change.
Which groups were directly affected by Bolshevik policies after October?
Correct answer: A
Bolshevik policies transformed several major areas of social and economic life. Land redistribution affected peasants and nobles; workers were affected by factory control, labour arrangements and nationalisation; and bank owners were affected when banks were brought under state ownership. These groups therefore experienced direct changes in property, work and political status. Option A is correct because it includes the principal social groups touched by the measures. Options B, C and D are too narrow and falsely suggest that only one limited group experienced consequences. The post-October transformation was broad, not restricted to sailors or students.
