Answers
Answer:
Apart from the soldiers and the army, the Russian country farmers fought in the war and their families starved behind. ... The farmers were not able to export their products and they could not sell their food in the local open markets. The railway system was broken and the supplies could not reach or get out of the towns.
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.
