Every successful revolution puts on in time the robes of the tyrant it has deposed.
Evaluate this statement with regard to the English Revolution (1640-1660), the French
Revolution (1789-1815), and the Russian Revolution (1917-1930).

What aspects of Russian society and institutions were most changed and what aspects least
changed by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917? Limit your discussion to the first ten years
(1917-1927) of the new regime and account for the changes you note.

communism. Illustrate your answer with reference to the economic system of France during
Louis XIVs reign under Colbert and of the Soviet Union under Stalin.

What policies of the Stalinist government perpetuated the essential features of the czarist regime under
Nicholas II (1894-1917)?

In what ways, and why, did Lenin alter Marxism? (Palmer)
To what extent did the emancipation of Russian serfs and other reforms in the 19th century
contribute to the modernization of Russia before the First World War?

Compare and contrast the roles of the peasants and urban workers from the French Revolution of 1789 to
that of the peasants and urban workers during the Russian Revolutions of 1917.

(1987)
The czarist regime fell in 1917 because it had permitted tremendous change and progress in
some areas while trying to maintain a political order that had outlived its time.
Assess the validity of this statement as an explanation of the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917.
