Explanation:
The Social, economic and political conditions in Russia before 1905 was backward:
→ Social Conditions:85% of Russia's population was agriculturist.Industry was existent, but
rarely in which most of was privately owned. Workers were divided on the basis of their
occupation. They mainly migrated to cities for employment in factories. The peasant
community was deeply religious, but did not care much about the nobility. They believed
that land must be divided amongst themselves. Social inequality was very prominent among
the working class. Workers whose jobs needed skill and training considered themselves on a
higher plane than the untrained worker. Workers had strong links to the villages they came
from and this also caused a social divide among workers.
→ Economic Condition: Russia was going through bad period economically. Prices of
essential good rises while real wages decreased by 20%leading to the famous St.Petersburg
strike, strike started a series of events that are together known as the 1905 Revolution.

various professionals and workers established the Union of Unions, demanding the
establishment of a constituent assembly.

Workers Party was founded in 1898 by socialists who respected Marx’s ideas. In 1903, this
party was divided into two groups - Mensheviks and Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks, who were in
majority, were led by Lenin who is regarded as the greatest thinker on socialism after Marx.
