Detailed explanation-1: -Economically, widespread inflation and food shortages in Russia contributed to the revolution. Militarily, inadequate supplies, logistics, and weaponry led to heavy losses that the Russians suffered during World War I; this further weakened Russia’s view of Nicholas II. They viewed him as weak and unfit to rule.
Detailed explanation-2: -This was due to the government fixing prices at which the grains must be sold at very low rates. Peasants refused to sell their grain in the towns at such low prices to the government buyers. The towns faced a shortage of grains.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Golubev and Dronin report gives the following table of the major droughts in Russia between 1900 and 2000. Mass famines were reported in years of drought in the 1920s and 1930s, and the last one occurred in 1946. Central: 1920, 1924, 1936, 1946, 1984. Southern: 1901, 1906, 1921, 1939, 1948, 1995.
