Having looked over the last eight HSC modern history exam papers, especially the questions for Russia, i've noticed that none of them focus on any one aspect (except for the five year plans) in detail. I know they base the questions on the "key features and issues" at the top of the syllabus, so does that mean that we probably won't be asked a question that deals solely with:
The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk
The Civil War
War Communism and NEP
Impact of the Purges and Show Trials
