Describe the condition of Russian workers and farmers before the Russian Revolution of 1917 in about 140 to 150 words
Answers
Answer:
The Russian Revolution took place in 1917 when the peasants and working class people of Russia revolted against the government of Tsar Nicholas II. They were led by Vladimir Lenin and a group of revolutionaries called the Bolsheviks. The new communist government created the country of the Soviet Union.
Answer:
Prior to 1917, the working class of Russia lived in abject poverty under the Tsars who encouraged capitalists.
The wages were very low that the workers could not buy proper food or live in decent houses. The working hours were long and conditions of work unhygienic in most cases. There was no medical cover or medical facilities that the workers could afford. Many of them died of work-related diseases. This led the working class to unite and revolt against the Tsarist regime in 1917 and ultimately resulted in the birth of communism.
