What were the social, economic and political conditions in Russia before 1905?
The social, economic and political conditions in Russia were very dishonourable before 1905 revolution. At the starting of the 20th century about 85% of the Russia population was agriculturists. Russia was a major exporter of grains and this industry was found in pocket only. Most of the industries were run by the private industrialists. Because of wide spread corruption and exploitations, sometimes workers didn't get even the minimum wages with no limit of working hours. Russia was an autocracy and was ruled by the tsar. The tsar especially tsar Nicholas II was a self willed corrupt oppressive ruler. He ignored the public welfare in which the conditions of the peasants and workers had also become very dishonourable. The workers and peasants both were divided. Peasants frequently refused to pay rent and even murdered the landlords. Being influenced by the democratic experiments by the western European countries the Russian also demanded for a responsible government but all their demands were turned down.
