Power and transport: huge advance e.g. Dnieper Dam hydroelectric power station and Belomor Canal
(New industrial centres)

7. 5 year plans
Does source 1 show that Stalin’s 5 year plans were successful?
Which increased production the most?
Which was the least successful?

8. 5 year plans

Can you think of any ways that these five year plans may be seen as a bad thing?

9. Working conditions Women were encouraged to work – crèches provided!!
New elite e.g. teachers, scientists, engineers… They enjoyed a higher standard of living (not communist!!)
Forced labour
Lied about production to avoid punishment from their big bosses.

10. Industrialisation

11. Stakhanovites Who inspired the Stakanovite movement?
The Stakhanovite movement was named after Aleksei Stakhanov, who had mined 102 tons of coal in less than 6 hours (14 times his quota). This inspired other to do the same , e.g. Nikita Izotov had mined 607 tons of coal in a single shift.
The Stakhanovite movement caused a significant increase in labour productivity.
It was reported that during the first 5-year plan (1929–1932) industrial labour productivity increased 41%. During the second 5-year plan (1933–1937) it reportedly increased 82%.
Who inspired the Stakanovite movement?

Did the Soviets like the Stakanovites? Why?
Why are they a significant group to look at?

How to answer a ten mark question
Do I need my own knowledge?
Shall I include a conclusion?
Do I have a source to use?
????
????

18. This is an example of what you could write
For full marks you need to talk about two causes in detail and then talk about the shared outcome, eg. Stalin’s desire for increase leading to collectivisation and five year plans which both led to – increased production but famine and bad working conditions. (More detail than this)

19. . Simple or generalised statements using the source supported by some own knowledge – The candidate makes statements which lack any supporting contextual knowledge or makes unsupported generalisations. Level 1
Developed Statements using the source and relevant own knowledge – The candidate supports their statement with relevant contextual knowledge-Level 2
Developed explanation using the source and precise own knowledge – An explanation of more than one factor supported by selected knowledge. One explained factor should be marked at the top of Level 3.
