Lecture about Russia and the Russian Revolution:
• Russia had been ruled for hundreds of years
• King called “tsar” or “czar”
• the Romanov family had ruled for 300 years.
• Russia had rich nobles (people with titles) and poor peasants
• so revolution brewed
• main revolutionary group were “communists”
Final version: week of 4/4/16
• Karl Marx had defined communism as everybody shares and does everything, but Russia’s
communism has never been like that
• the main “communist” group were the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin
• Tsar Alexander exiled Lenin
• Lenin and Germany made a deal: if Germany smuggled Lenin into Russia, then when Lenin took
over he’d pull Russia out of World War I
• Germany wanted Russia out of the war so instead of having a western front with France and an
eastern front with Russia, they’d only have the western front and could send all their soldiers to
fight France.
• When Lenin took over he did pull Russia out of WWI.

Read notice to class:
Dear AP Colleague:
The AP® Exam in your subject has a reading period in the free-response section and we
want your students to use it to their full advantage.
Eight AP Exams — Biology, English Language and Composition, European History, Latin,
Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, U.S. History, and World History — have a 10- or 15minute reading period in Section II.
Making the Most of the Reading Period
Here's how the reading period works and how we think it can help:
•The time allotted for the reading period is part of the overall Section II timing.
•The reading period gives students time to read the questions and any related sources and
documents (if applicable) and to plan their responses.
•We strongly encourage students to take full advantage of this time, and we think this will
lead to thoughtful, well-organized responses.
•However, should students choose to begin writing their response before the reading period
is over, they are free to do so.
As always, thank you for playing a critical role in helping your students get ready for the
exam.
Sincerely,
Advanced Placement Program
