THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

Answer 1

Hi,

Your answer :
First, we will trace the framework in which the women's movement takes its first steps, from the revolution of 1905 to the war years (1914-1916).
 

From 1917 to the first half of the twenties, we will see, through the Russian revolution and the first years of the Soviet regime, how the question of the liberation of women arises and what are the means implemented to achieve it.
 

Finally, by analyzing the class nature of "socialism in one country", we will then witness the restoration of the oppression sanctioned by the laws, in the USSR of Stalin and his heirs.
 


Before 1905 "Russia occupied between Europe and Asia a situation intermediate not only by its geography but by its social life and its history (...) Russia did not have the possibility to train on the models of the Orient because it always had to live with the military and economic pressure of the West. "
 

Thus is summarized the whole dilemma of Russia in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Russian empire is immense, from Warsaw to Vladivostok on the Pacific, its population is growing rapidly (from 123 million inhabitants in 1897 to 160 million in 1913), and formally the country belongs to the very closed club (and mainly European) of great powers.
 

But compared to England, France or Germany, Russia appears above all as a nation lagging behind development.
 

Only 15% of the population is urban on the eve of World War I, 25 million people including about three million workers. The weight of the rural world is overwhelming. The Russian campaigns are still alive at the time of feudalism, the muzhiks, who are no longer serfs since 1861 only, often live in miserable conditions and work for the great landowners, noblemen, ecclesiastics or merchants.
 

Russia is a "people's prison" because the Russian element represents only 40% of the population, and "minorities" are subject to Russification.
 

In addition to the small and medium-sized enterprises supplying the domestic market with basic necessities, modern large industry has developed mainly in metallurgy and energy production. But textiles and chemistry are two important sectors. One of the symbols of this great industry is the Poutilov Metallurgical Plant in Saint Petersburg, which has 40,000 employees.
 

It is the largest factory in the world.

The dominant feature of this industry is its concentrated nature. Thus, the Russian industry is much more concentrated than the American industry at the same time, which is already the first industrial power. Small enterprises, employing not more than 100 persons, occupy in the United States (1914) 35% of the total number of industrial workers; in Russia the proportion is 17.8%. Conversely, the giant companies employing more than 1,000 workers represent 17% of all workers in America against 41% in Russia.

Good bye :)
