Y13 Russia Background

Gents,

Below is a link to a series on You Tube called Land of the Tsars. You only really need to watch from episode 16 onwards but feel free to delve into the history of Ivan the Terrible etc if you want.

In the P Drive/History/A Level History folder I have posted a reading list for next year's Russia course, the three I think might be of most use are highlighted.

I would also recommend getting a copy of A Very Short Introduction to The Russian Revolution, link to amazon page below.

Hope this is useful.
