- social issues arose both in the countryside and towns :

despite the formation of a peasant's land bank (1883) and the abolition of the peasant poll tax (1886), peasants were still aggrieved about their living standards. the redistribution of land had resulted in a reduction in the size of plots and the mir continued to be a barrier to innovation.
the 1891 famine resulted in the deaths of over 350,000 people; its impact was long lasting.
industrialisation led to urbanisation and associated public health problems such as poor housing, lack of sanitation and inadequate water supplies. the result was the spread of diseases, especially cholera.
