This is pretty good! A few notes: Kulaks were those labelled as greedy capitalist farmers who did NOT support collectivization. Being labelled a Kulak was not a good thing. Also, you use the word collective in the question for collectivization, which is a bit of a giveaway. Finally, I think it’s reasonable to call Moscow and Stalingrad both turning points, even if Stalingrad was a bigger one. In any case, this was a nice mix of reasonably easy and quite difficult. Well done!

Also can you modify the first question, on one hand you are saying he worked in a seminary, it is even a known fact he was an Orthodox priest. Only in his middle ages, did he become atheist.
