Dear Student,
Industrialization began very late in Russia then it developed at a fairly fast rate.
Impact of industrialisation in tsarist Russia:
Due to construction of new factories thousands of landless peasants came to cities in search of work.
Russia was living in ‘the old world’ under the tsars. Serfdom had been abolished, but it did not improve the condition of the peasants.
Most of the capital came from foreign investors and they were only interested in making quick profits and showed no concern for the condition of workers. Russian capitalists, to compete with foreign capitalists reduced workers wage. This lead to revolution.
In economic terms the policy reforms were successful and helped Russia to match the western European powers – but they also created an industrial working class prone to grievances and revolutionary ideas.
