LONG TERM CAUSES OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION IN 1917_1
The Size Of Russia
Russia was basically too large for only one man to Rule
Transport was difficult, only one major rail service , trans-siberian express
Communication
Moving supplies
The autocratic government was to much work for the Tsar, he could not hadle everything
In 1913 it streched 4000 miles from Europe to Alaska
In 1913 Russia comprised of 125 million people
Disunited- many different nationalities, languages, and religions
As the Russian Empire had expanded in previous centuries many other nationalities were included
Finns, Poles, Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Georgians
Only 55 million Russian
Russia had weak military
Lost war with Japan in 1904
Backwards
Only 2% of country worked in industry
80% worked in agriculture
Used Backwards methods, shunned western ideas
Most people still peasants
Huge Difference Between Rich and Poor
If a peasant had bad harvest it could mean famine and many deaths
The nobles were immensely rich, owning palaces that rivalled even that of the tsar
Demonstrated by the fact that Army commanders thought the bayonet the most important weapon
Proletariat
Russia was industrialising
People started moving to the 2 main cities. Petrograd , St.Petersberg
Workers poor and oppressed
Bloody Sunday 22nd January 1905
Workers went on peaceful protest at the winter palace in Petrograd to ask the Tsar for changes
Cossacks attack crowds
Official Tsar records say 96 people dies and 333 were injured
Anti government records estimate over 4000 deaths
However the Tsar was not at the palace at the time when the people were protesting
He did not give the order for the Cossacks to attack
So not strictly his fault however people were angered by it as they saw him as a 'father' figure
