Great Help- By: , 19 May 2004 I have found this book helpful for both my AS & A2 options on Stalinist Russia. Has questions & answers from past A-Level papers, which I found tremendously useful. In addition, the book concentrates on the A-Level syllabus rather than adding unnecessary waffle - great to use throughout the course!Life-saver for anyone studying Stalin for the new AS and A2- By: , 11 Jun 2001 This is a fantastic book which brings together everything you need to know about Stalinist Russiain an easy to absorb way. It's great for use as a revision tool & can be read quickly & easily for an overview of the period. Key termsin the margin of the book are particularly goodin familiarising the reader with Russian words & simplifying technical terms etc. Summaries at the end of each chapter have worked well for me as a revision checklist. Allin all- a great buy!
