The working population in Russia different from other countries in Europe before 1917 in following ways:
1) Vast majority of Russians were agriculturists. This proportion was higher than in most European countries. In France and Germany this proportion was between 40% and 50%.
2) The cultivators in Russia produced for the markets as well as for their own needs.
3) Workers were a divided social group of skills. Metalworkers considered themselves as aristocrats among other works as their occupation demanded more training and skills.
4) Peasants in Russia had no respect for the nobility.Nobles got for their power and position through the Tsar and not through local popularity, whereas in countries like France , peasants respect nobles.
