Emergence of the Bolsheviks
Social Divisions
Reasons
Humiliation of the loss of the 1904–5 Russo-Japanese War
Financial suffering and great famines
Lack of necessary change
Problems
population of the Russian state expanded from an estimated 55.3 million rural inhabitants in 1863 to 82.1 million in 1897
Strike activity in the late 19th century led to social legislation: female miners were banned
employment of children under 12 became illegal in 1892, an 11.5-hour workday came in 1896 and factory inspectors in 1903
Economic factors
Serfdom
Zero class division (majority of the Russian population was extremely poor whilst only a select few thrived)
Famine
Impact of War
War Communism
the fledgling state allocated resources
private enterprise was outlawed
the state requisitioned peasant produce.
Weakness of political system
Royal family severely undermined the population and what they needed (all were peasants/surfs)
Weak government replacement that tended to largely be the direct rule of one party or another with little to no progress for the people
The Duma and the inability to financially provide for the population lead to internal conflict within the country
