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 the impact of Lenin's dictatorship, including the end of the First World War, Cheka, Red Army, the Civil War's causes, nature 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.
