Stalin's Death

A text that ties together Stalin’s death, the events leading up to it, and its aftermath, taking in Khruschev and De-Stalinisation

This is a useful end to the AQA A Level History 2N option - Revolution and Dictatorship: Russia, 1917-1953 as it ties off the narrative in more detail than the Oxford textbook manages, while also introducing some important ideas about changing degrees of state control and censorship after Stalin’s death which students can make use of when writing about the provenance of sources produced in the USSR after Stalin’s death
