Bruh… Stap… Get your fact straight, even a quick wiki prove you wrong:
Despite all this Russian Empire from the beginning of the reign of Nicholas II, it began to change dramatically in economic terms. It was the fastest growing economy in the world,[3] the average GDP growth was higher than the Western European one, and the volume of production per capita was equal to it.[4] The standard of living also grew high.[5] If the February revolution had not occurred, and subsequently the October revolution, then the pace of economic growth in Russia would only have increased
The cartoon joke is based on a false depiction of 1917 Russia revolution. It just prove once again how ignorant american are about World History… Pathetic, lol
This is why you don’t go to Wikipedia folks. It’s true they were increasing output. But standards of living were not rising for the common worker and there’s a lot of room to improve GDP when you start from a backwards position. We’ve seen the same thing in post colonial economies after world war 2. A 4% growth of 10 is not better than a 2% growth of 1,000.
And the Army was wildly dysfunctional. They didn’t have enough weapons, ammunition, or food. And it was a major part of why the revolution happened. On the last day the Tsar ordered the army to fire on the crowds, and instead they refused and joined the crowds. Largely due to their treatment.
Bruh… The wiki page is sourced, and the army being old and dysfunctionnal was not specific to Russia only, France had an army in a shitty shape at the beginning of the War too…
The fact that Russia was improving in all aspect before the 1917 revolution and went downhill from here, is undeniable…
