The Bolshevik government ended landlordism and moved land towards social control, expanded state control over industry, regulated trade and distribution, and later used grain-procurement policies.

Exam tip: mention at least three sectors—banks, land and industry—when describing these changes.

View question detailsAfter the October Revolution, the Bolshevik government increased state control over land, banks and major industries and introduced socialist economic measures. At the same time, restrictions on opposition parties, one-party dominance and political control increased. Therefore, option A gives a balanced evaluation by recognising both change and limitation. Option C is incorrect because all parties did not receive free political power. Exam tip: in a ‘balanced evaluation’ question, avoid options that present only benefits or only failures.

View question detailsThe October Revolution brought changes in several connected areas. Socially, the new government attacked inherited aristocratic privilege, including the formal use of titles. Economically, banks and major industries were brought under state control or nationalised, changing ownership and management. Politically, power increasingly concentrated in the Bolshevik Party and developed toward one-party rule. Option A correctly matches each example with its category. The other options contain invented, reversed or historically false claims: the Tsar did not return, Church rule did not replace Soviet authority, and Tsarist privatisation or foreign rule did not describe the post-October settlement.
View question detailsBoth steps were linked with reducing old social differences. Exam tip: connect housing and titles with social equality.
View question detailsThe Treaty of Brest-Litovsk ended Russia’s participation in the First World War, which fulfilled the Bolshevik demand for peace and allowed the government to concentrate on the revolution and Civil War. However, Germany imposed severe conditions, and Russia had to surrender large territories and accept major losses. Some Bolsheviks believed that accepting such terms betrayed the international revolutionary cause or weakened Russia too greatly, while others considered peace essential for survival. Thus option B is correct. Options A, C and D are incorrect because the treaty neither restored the Tsar, privatised banks nor immediately abolished the Soviets.
