Today we are going to continue with the Russian History by examining the Coronation tragedy… (We will interrupt the documentary briefly and continue watching it in the next lesson.)
But first we will look at what Russia and Russian Society was like in the early 1900’s.
1.
In the previous lesson you received a booklet with notes on the Year 10 Russian History topic. From this booklet, we already looked at the Tsarist Regime. Let’s now consider what the Russian Empire was like at the beginning of the 1900’s.

10.
It is always a good idea to record your findings in the form of a table, with a column for inferences or statements and a column with evidence (in the form of quotes) to back up your statements.

Now, write at least two paragraphs to answer the question “What can you tell from this extract about Nicholas and Alexandra and about their subjects?”
