how did socialism spread in Russia after 1914
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
i) Political Conditions: In 1914, Tsar Nicholas II ruled Russia and its empire. Besides the territory
around Moscow, the Russian empire stretched large part of Europe and Asia.The Tsar believed in
divine rights of kings. As a ruler, he did not solve the problem of the people.
ii) Social Conditions: The majority religion was Russian Orthodox Christianity –but the empire also
included Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and Buddhists. The non- Russian nationalities were not
treated equal to that of Russian nationalities. They were not given freedom to follow their culture and
language.
iii) Economic conditions: Industry was found in pockets. Prominent industrial areas were
St Petersburg and Moscow. Craftsmen undertook much of the production, but large factories existed
alongside craft workshops. Many factories were set up in the 1890s. Coal production doubled and
iron and steel output quadrupled. The workers were exploited by capitalists which made their life
miserable
