These ‘at a glance’ revision notes are intended to give AQA A Level History students a comprehensive overview of the four parts of the breadth study: “Tsarist and Communist Russia, 1855–1964”:

Part one: Autocracy, Reform and Revolution: Russia, 1855–1917
Trying to preserve autocracy, 1855–1894
The collapse of autocracy, 1894–1917

Part two: the Soviet Union, 1917–1964 (A-level only)
The emergence of Communist dictatorship, 1917–1941 (A-level only)
The Stalinist dictatorship and reaction, 1941–1964 (A-level only)

They are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics/areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail.

Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)
