- results of social division changes
- peasantry
- in some regions, Stolypin's reforms were more successful and peasants' lots were improved
- this wasn't true for the majority of the peasants
- many forced to become migrant labourers
- travelling the countryside for work on kulak farms
- migrating to cities to contribute to increasing urbanisation
- status and lifestyle of peasantry pronanly changed the least of any group during this period
- notwithstanding significant regional variations
- areas that witnessed the least progress for the peasantry became areas of the strongest Bolshevik support in 1917
- more prosperous regions tended to be centres of counter-revolution
- protest does come from the peasantry
- still largely triggered by traditional grievances at this point
- poor harvests
- unfair land allocation
- social adjustments were taking place
- led to the slow growth of political awareness
- still largely triggered by traditional grievances at this point
- in some regions, Stolypin's reforms were more successful and peasants' lots were improved
- workers
- improvements in education opportunities
- primary school provision rose by 85% from 1905-1914
- development of technical schools and unis
- offered some opportunity for improved status but not much stoppages from strikes
- is from the workers that demands for revolution would finally come in 1917

- some do lose their position for the most part
- able to keep previous level of power and lifestyle
- some do lose their position for the most part
- fierce resistance of nobility to share any power makes it difficult for reforms
