The social, economic, and political conditions in Russia before 1905 were underdeveloped compared to the present time. Here are some key points about each of these conditions:

Social Conditions:

• About 85% of the Russian population was engaged in agriculture.
• The land was periodically pooled by the Russians, and as per the needs of the individual families, the commune divided it.
• Large properties were owned by the Orthodox Church, the crown, and nobility. Peasants were deeply religious, and position and power were enjoyed by nobles.

Economic Conditions:

• Cultivators cultivated crops for their own needs, and Russia was also a major exporter of grains.
• Moscow and St. Petersburg were prominent industrial centers.
• Financially, the situation was bad. Wages fell by 20%, and prices of essential goods were very high, which led to the St. Petersburg strike.
• When foreign investment increased within the industries and when the Russian railway network expanded, many factories were founded within the 1890s. Iron and steel output quadrupled, and coal production doubled. Craftsmen and factory workers were almost equal in number, in some areas, within the 1900s.

Political Conditions:

• Political parties were illegal before 1914.
• The Russian Social Democratic Workers Party was founded in 1898 by socialists who respected Marxs ideas. Later, this party was divided into two groups: Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.
• The belief of Tsar Nicholas II was not strong.

Overall, the social, political, and economic conditions in Russia before 1905 were a big mess.
