Explanation: Agriculturists made up the great bulk of Russia's population at the turn of the twentieth century. Agriculture provided a living for almost 85% of the Russian empire's inhabitants.
1,Cultivators produced both for the market and for their personal consumption, and Russia was a significant grain exporter.
2,There were pockets of industry. St Petersburg and Moscow were major manufacturing centres.
3,Craft workshops coexisted with large industries.
4, When Russia's railway network was expanded and foreign investment in industry rose in the 1890s, several factories were built.
5,The majority of industries were owned by industrialists.
Large factories were regulated by the government to maintain minimum pay and work hours.
6,Workers were classified into social categories based on their occupation.
7,On the basis of skill, workers were separated into social groups. The division could also be seen in the way people dressed and behaved.
8,Some employees created groups to assist one another in times of unemployment or financial distress. Despite their differences, workers banded together to go on strike when they disagreed with their bosses about dismissals or working conditions. Peasants, like workers, were split. They also had no regard for the aristocracy.
9,The Russian peasants demanded that the nobility' land be transferred to them.
10,They pooled their land on a regular basis and split it up according to the requirements of individual families in their commune.
All this resulted Russia as a major exporter of grain.
