Answers
The working population in Russia was different from other countries in Europe before 1917, because
Not all Russian workers migrated from the villages to work in the industrial sector. Some of them continued to live in villages and went to work daily, to the towns.
The people in the villages didn't shared the respect for the nobles which other European countries like France did. They only wanted the land owned by the nobles.
They were a divided group, socially and professionally, and this showed in their dress and manners too.
Metal workers were the "aristocrats" of the working class because their occupation demanded more training and skill.
Nevertheless, the working population was united on one front - strikes against work conditions and employer tyranny. This made Russia different from other countries.
