1. Conditions for workers and peasants were deplorable under the rule of
the Tsars, but not to the extent they were under the Bolsheviks.
2. Despite the Bolsheviks claiming their policies were entirely in favour
of the proletariat, peasants were forced to face horrific famine and a
vast decline in living standards under rule by Lenin and the
Bolsheviks.
3. When Alexander II came to power in 1855 he realised that in order to
modernise Russia and improve the weakening economy he needed to make
dramatic reforms. In 1861 Alexander issued his Emancipation Manifesto,
proposing 17 legislative acts that would free the serfs in Russia.
4. Even though this new-found freedom in some ways seemed to place a
greater burden on the peasants due to heavy redemption payments on
their land and little improvement regarding agricultural methods in
Russia, the act made the now-freed serfs feel that progress was being
made towards a fairer social system in Russia and gave them some hope
for more affirmative reforms in the future.
5. Conditions gradually improved for the peasants, for example in 1864 judicial reforms were made in order to make the system fairer and end class privileges, and in 1882 the Peasant’s land bank was set up enabling enterprising
farmers to acquire more land. Reforms were also made under the rule of
Nicholas II who bettered conditions for workers by introducing a
reduction in the working day to eight hours, an increase in wages and
improvement in working conditions.

There were a couple of stormy events that occurred after the Russian revolution in 1917 as the First World War was almost close to an end.
Apart from the soldiers and the army, the Russian country farmers fought in the war and their families starved behind.
After the death of hundreds of people by the Czarist state heads, almost 30,000 workers from Moscow went on a strike.
There was a famine and the Worker’s organization went into severe repression with people starving without food. 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.
