Czarist Russia

The Russian ans tsar Nobility had a population of only 1 percent of the population had most of the control of land in Russia.The nobility status was hereditary. The tsar didn't have to worry about money they owned millions of acres of land which was over one million serfs or slaves. Tsar Peter the great started the tradtion that all Russians owed service to their government. The nobles became military officers or govermment officals and in turn the government gave them money serf and land up to 1861. Even thought the russian nobles were rich they still held little power than you would think. The tsra had the most authority over the people of the russian empire and pretty much everything else.The nobles decided to switch to more modern farming and grow more profitable crops like sugar beats and wheat.The nobles has slaves which they could sell or do anything else they wanted to.Some nobles fell into debt but most nobles kept their wealth.I think the nobility would not like the idea of revolution becasue they want all the power and do not want to change that.When your nobility you want it done your way and your not used to being told no and people overthrowing you.
