Why was Russia difficult to govern?
1) The size of the country and the diversity of the
population. More than 21 different nationalities lived in
Russia; the Russians were the largest in number. It
was difficult to have consistent policies across such a
vast country.
Different groups spoke different languages so
communication would be difficult.
Different peoples had different beliefs and
cultures, and wouldn't necessarily want to do
things the way the Russians wanted to do them.
There were different religions and so worship
was not the same.
Peoples such as the Poles had been conquered
by Russia in the 18th century and wanted a
country of their own.
People were spread over distances thousands
of miles apart, and this made it difficult to get
any orders obeyed over the whole country.

What does this source tell you about the
problems facing the Tsar in 1913? (4)
“The current attitude seemed to suggest that the
government was a barrier between the people and the
Tsar…The Tsar’s closet friends became convinced that
the sovereign could do anything by relying on the
unbounded love and utter loyalty of the people. The
ministers of the government, on the other hand, did not
hold to this sort of autocracy; nor did the Duma. Both
were of the opinion that the Sovereign should recognise
that conditions had changed since the day the
Romanovs became the Tsars of Moscow”

is not England. Here we do not need to earn the

completely disregarded”
