Political Causes A representation of the Russian social classes.Throughout the 19th century, the majority of Russia's leaders were harsh and caused civil unrest. Autocracy was being used in the government. This meant that only one person controlled the whole country. Czar Alexander III issued organized violence against people of Jewish faith, and was known to rule with an iron fist. Alexander's son, czar NIcholas II, carried on his legacy. Nicholas wanted to industrialize Russia, but when he did, he created harsh working conditions for the Russian civilians. Also in order to fund their modernizing, Nicholas II raised the taxes, which contributed to more social unrest.
Russia was very involved in World War I. Considering the massive size of Russia and its population. the Russian army was able to quickly rebuilt their armies. Eventually supplies and equipment began to run short, and the morale for fighting went down. The Russian civilians were pushed into staying in the war to continue the fighting, but then they turned on Russia, and refused to continue in World War I. As a result of the war, Russia went into major debt, and everyday goods became unavailable for the peasants, because they could not afford them.
The Russian peasants were deprived of many resources that contribute to their health. After World War I with the shortages in everyday goods, peasants were desperate. They wanted to find a way that would provide their family with food and an income. Typically peasants favored the idea of communism because it meant that they would become more equal with the upper class. Marxist ideas are what drove these peasants into pushing for a revolution, or change in the government.Are you interested in earning what the consequences of the Revolution were?

They did not have an easy life. Peasants were heavily taxed, and these people had to work in order to provide themselves and their family with food. Basically most of Russia was living in poverty, and those who were not, had lavish spending habits, and spent the hard earned tax dollars of the peasants.
Workers were going on strike because the ways of the government were not changing. The workers were trying to resist the terrible conditions that they were forced to work with. These people sparked the idea of revolution in many, because they brought forth many problems that the government needs to fix, and if they refuse to change the systems, then the responsibility is in the public to show the government that change needs to happen.
Considering the size of Russia, transporting goods from Eastern Russia to Western Russia took a lot of time and was expensive. Russia is located in eleven different time zones. They were short on fuel from World War I, and had an insufficient transportation system in place.
