About Tsarist Russia
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources follow Russia under its last tsars, from 1855 to 1917. Many are labelled for A-level History, GCSE History or Edexcel History, and some name exam boards such as AQA and OCR in their titles. They were all made by GoConqr users.
- Alexander II: the mind map on his government covers economic, social and political policies, local government, the judiciary and opposition. Other items cover the emancipation of the serfs, and education and military reforms.
- Alexander III: reaction and counter-reforms, with a mind map, several flashcard decks and a deck on Konstantin Pobedonostsev.
- Nicholas II: life under Tsarist rule, Witte's industrial drive, Stolypin's land reforms, the 1905 Revolution, the Dumas, the First World War and the abdication.
Where to start
Begin with the quiz Tsarist Russia 1855 - 1917 AS Level Unit 1 Quiz. It asks about the size of Russia, its population and its resources in 1855, so it shows what you already know about the starting point.
Then open the mind map Alexander II. Its branches give you a frame for the whole reign. Move on to the notes Russia 1894 - 1917 Life under Tsarist Rule for the later period.
Using quizzes and maps together
Take a quiz first and write down the questions you missed. Find the matching branch on a mind map, such as Opposition Groups-Political or The Dumas 1906-14, and read it again. Then retry a different quiz, for example the one on Alexander II or the Edexcel quiz on the collapse of the Tsarist regime in 1917.
Flashcard decks suit short bursts of revision. Try the deck on Witte's influence or the one asking how far the Tsar contributed to his own downfall.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the History subject, within the strand Revolutions, Industry and Empire. Teachers can use the slide sets, such as the rule of Nicholas II, as ready-made starting points for lessons.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the quiz Tsarist Russia 1855 - 1917 AS Level Unit 1 Quiz. It tests basics such as the size and population of Russia in 1855. After that, the Alexander II mind map gives a clear overview of his government, reforms and opposition.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 700 of them. They cover Alexander II's reforms, Alexander III's reaction, Nicholas II's rule, Witte's economic policy, Stolypin's land reforms, the Dumas, opposition groups, the 1905 Revolution, the impact of the First World War and the abdication.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it's worth checking them against your own course notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The resources mention A-level History, GCSE History and Edexcel History, and some titles refer to AQA and OCR. Nearly all of them are made for secondary students, so they suit school revision. Check your own specification to see which topics you need.
Can I save my quiz scores or make my own resources?
Yes. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. You could turn a mind map branch you found hard into a flashcard deck of your own.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Look at the neighbouring reigns first, since many resources cross periods, such as the Reasons for Emancipation slide set or the Timeline notes. You can also make your own notes or flashcards on the missing topic and keep them for revision.
