May 15

We covered the Russian Revolution today by watching a video from the World Revolutions series. We also watched a video on Stalin's Five Year Plans and the modernization of Russia from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Stalin and the Modernization of Russia". I then started to continue with last week's PowerPoint presentation called "Joseph Stalin and the USSR". This PowerPoint has been posted on the IB 20 wiki under Unit 7 Dictatorships. It is STRONGLY recommended that you either print off a hard copy of this lecture (6 slides per page) or at least finish reading it and taking notes from it. It is extremely important! The material that we are covering now is on your IB 30/35 exams, specifically Paper 2 Topic 3: Authoritarian and Single-Party States. Next week, we'll watch an A & E Biography of Stalin before moving on to our next case study: Hitler's Nazi Germany.
