Russian rev: Old style or new style calendar?

Hey guys, hope your studying is going well!
Just a quick question, since the Bolsheviks changed the calendars during 1918, does it matter whether we use the old style dates or the new style dates in the exam tomorrow?
i stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way

I don't think so - however, when I did Revs my teacher recommended using the new dates, as I imagine that's what you'll have learnt during the year, and textbooks and such have changed the dates to fit the "new" calendar.

Might be worth it chucking an email to your teacher, though, or double checking the study design.

All the best :)

EDIT: also, the dates you get given in the documents and such will be using the new date system, so probably best to stick to that to avoid confusion.
