Is anyone convinced they'd actually ask us directly about the role of Alexandra Kollontai?

The study design tells you to study on "the contribution of significant individuals that changed society including Lenin, Trotsky, Felix Dzerzhinsky and
Alexandra Kollontai"

So most probably.

Thank you.

Will the essay definitely be Section 2, Question 1 and therefore AOS1 / Causes of given Revolution ?

Yes

But surely they cannot ask about all of them?

I'd normally play it safe but I have a feeling it won't be on this year's exam, my teacher agrees here.
But I'm willing to just let it slide - only aiming for an 80%

I don't think they'll ask about all of them but maybe aim to remember a few key things for example Lenin backing Kollontai at the All Russian Congress of Women (19 November 1918 ), as well as the Bolsheviks' Marriage and divorce laws (18 Dec 1917), and that she opposed War Communism and created the Workers' Opposition in 1921.

How many views are we expected to include for full marks and for which questions?

Usually 3 for a c) response to a document analysis and 3 or more for an essay, so 9 all up.

Well I've got 16 up my sleeve so I'm pretty prepared then, I guess.
