Abstract
This chapter examines Russia's crisis between 1905 and 1917 and highlights social change, organised opposition, and the weakening legitimacy of the autocratic monarchy in the early twentieth century. It analyses the growth of liberal and socialist organizations, labour unrest, and the Revolution of 1905, which forced concessions and deepened political conflict across the empire. The chapter explains the creation of the Duma and the Fundamental Laws and shows how the tsar retained dominant authority while limiting parliamentary influence and constraining reform. It evaluates Stolypin's policy of repression and agrarian reform, traces the uneven development of parliamentary politics, and assesses the pressures of nationalism within a diverse imperial society. Finally, the chapter assesses the impact of the First World War and demonstrates how military failure, economic strain, and political mismanagement accelerated instability and prepared the ground for revolution.
