Revolution happened in 17
yeah
Like I said
in less than 15 years stalin basically completly industrialized the USSR
like 2 and a half 5 year plans
Yes
Thats VERY fast
Wouldn’t call that a shithole
Just in time for roll out the T-34s
Russia before ww1 was bad.
btw by 1914 40% of russian workers were employed in industry, which practically didnt exist (except for a few factories) before the 1880s
it was booming economically but still behind
mainly due to two great ministerw
sergei witte and pyotr stolipyn
Over the summer I read a lot of what Stalin wrote, especially regarding the Kulaks, etc
A booming economy yet the people wanted to overthrow the tzar. Makes sense
Kulaks deserved worse
Easy to see how he was popular, at least among certain people
@Unity.Nat because the tsar was unpopular, weak willed, and lost wars
and autocratic
plus the economy boombed, the peoples wages didnt icnrease
and they remained poor
which his own inner circle hated as well
iirc
2 and 2 don't add up. Many leaders were unpopular. However I doubt that is the main cause
It really is
that is
Definitely
poor war preforma ce helped a lot too
plus the humilation in the russo japanese war
oh and because of huge repression for centuries
being a moron helps too
yes
GG @S_Kuzi, you just advanced to level 5!
the Jewish Pograms
plus the fact taht the last tsar was basically an autocrat but very popular, good at diplomacy and most importantly for being an autocrat
not weak willed
Ehm
Nicholas wasn’t that good of a tsar
alexander III was
