| Summary: |
"The long term causes of the Russian revolution reach deeply into the history of Tsarist Russia. The powerful Tsarist state was confronted by economic and social change as it sought to maintain its position as a great imperial power. The abolition of serfdom in the 1860s brought fundamental changes to Russian society, while urbanisation accelerated the development of a middle class and brought millions of working people to Russia's cities."-- |
