Each Revision document is targeting the element of synthesis, which is vital to achieve the top grades in the A-Level Russia History Exam. For example, if you received a question on ‘Opposition to government’, the revision notes have been structured to explore the themes in relation to the methods used by government in order to prevent opposition: Police, Army, Censorship and Propaganda. In addition, the revision notes have an element of synthesis as they explore each ruler of the period.
