1. Alexei health 2. The middle and lower classes wanted more say in the government 3. Peace bread and land Peace! Land! Bread! This was the battle cry of the 1917 October Revolution (old calendar) that would changed the history of Russia and indeed the entire world - the cry of workers and peasants fed up with a failed system and the trials of war. Since the time of Ivan the Terrible, the Russian tsars had gradually centralized their power, leeching it little by little from the nobility.

In Western Europe, we called this feudalism; in Russia, it became known as serfdom.
