Question

How does evidence shape Lenin?

Answer

Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Lenin by focusing on Part two: Lenin's new society. Use the chronology of AC Russia, 1894-1945: Tsardom and communism, select named evidence connected to Study social and economic developments, including War Communism, the Kronstadt Rising, the New Economic Policy and the achievements of Lenin and Trotsky, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.

Explanation

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section A: Period studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Lenin's new society. The evidence should connect to Study social and economic developments, including War Communism, the Kronstadt Rising, the New Economic Policy and the achievements of Lenin and Trotsky and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Common mistake

Avoid confusing Lenin

A common mistake is to write about Lenin as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1894-1945.

Anchor the answer to Part two: Lenin's new society, use precise evidence, and state whether Lenin is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
