Food shortages were a key problem in Russia as it meant the people were starving and desperate. It has consistently been a problem to the rulers of Russia such as the Provisional government. The people wanted change but they also wanted grain to feed themselves and their family. It was important that the food crisis would be solved by the Bolsheviks in order to gain the support of the people; however, due to Russia’s poor transport and little fertile land, it was simply an impossible job for any party or rulers of Russia especially due to the high demand of the huge populace. The demand for food has always been high in Russia which meant that no matter what reforms or radical changes a party can bring in, if they can’t feed the people there will always be bitterness which can and did result in opposition to Lenin and his Bolsheviks.
The individual armies were nowhere near as strong as the Bolsheviks united army and therefore, in battles the whites would always loose. The Peasants believed that if the whites did take over then they would not do a very good job. They believed that the whites would take away the land that they gained in 1917 and so they would not give the Whites any support. Without this
One third of the total output was going to the military. It was economically impossible for the Soviet Union to increase the share of its output going to the military. The problems all consisted of poor housing, alcoholism, drug abuse, and pollution. All of these things eroded the communist party's social power base. The Gorbackev's attempts were not good enough to get the countries sluggish economy back on track.
Secondly, a flaw in the governing of Russia was the rifts between the classes, as nearly 90% of Russia was made up of peasants, who had absolutely no power in society. This meant that the power in the population is coming from a very specific, very small amount of people, and this was an issue because it wasn’t an accurate representation of the whole population. Another reason that Russia may have been hard to govern was its sheer vastness. Its size meant that messages would take about 8 days to cross the country (3000 miles), given that that was the length of time it would take for the only trainline to get from the west to the east. This meant that it was probably hard to organise people if they lived in the far east of Russia, and it would have been harder to get an army, for example, to somewhere if they were needed.
By 1350 there were some quite serious public health problems in towns, where the lack of fresh water and drainage was a problem which caused the water to be contaminated by other sources and was not healthy to drink. The government were not willing to donate funds to fixing this problem because they did not think it was their job to improve public health, but sometimes they passed laws requiring people to keep the streets clean especially in times when disease was common however these laws were difficult to enforce. Therefore, the Romans’ progress was not maintained. Meanwhile, animal excrement was common in the street and butchers slaughtered their animals and threw the remains on the streets which lead to disease and germs causing people to get sick. All this suggests that during the middle ages there was no progress in public health and that the standard of public health had gone backwards especially in the towns and cities.
The lack of unity opposition possessed was a key factor in its failure throughout the period. Division in opinion and ideology were consistent problems for opposition, which only fully united in the February revolution. Even then there were still divisions in opinion, however there was one common cause to unite behind. Other attributing factors such as heavy repression by rulers, well timed reforms and the continuing use of military force ultimately meant that opposition to Russian Governments was rarely successful in the 1855-1964. The peasantry were consistent opponents of Russian Government throughout the period, yet were rarely successful in doing so.
When the requested products were finally available in the stores, the prices of the products were very high and the product variety was extremely limited. The high prices of the products made these unaffordable for a large part of the customer base. The limited variety of the requested food products gave customers very few options in healthier food choices. The decision by Company Q management to throw out day-old food products, instead of donating these to the local Food Bank again highlights the lack of social responsibility towards the community in which Company Q does business. This action demonstrates a lack of interest to aid the less fortunate in the community, as well as failing to increase their customer base.
During the time of the Russian Revolution, Russia was a huge empire, and it spread across from Poland all the way to the Pacific, and it also had a large, culturally diverse population of about 165 million people of different religions and languages, and because of this it was a very difficult country to rule. This obviously wasn’t the Tsars fault as there wasn’t anything he could do about this besides working harder to prevent problems, and there were many problems constantly going on within Russia, which had started the revolution in 1917. Just a year before the revolution, 75% of the Russian population were peasants who farmed and lived in small villages. Although they had difficult lives and had to live in awful conditions, it had improved for them in 1861, they were all given a small amount of land, but not for free- they had to pay back a ridiculously large amount of money to the government and was usually paid off over two generations as it was unaffordable. Due to this, most of the farms were in debt.
Throughout the activity, no one in authority seems to know where the transportation is or when the transportation will arrive to take the population to the shelter. Throughout the learning activity, there were other problems which held up the evacuation. For example, some of the population are afraid of the police. One reason was some of the population came from countries in which the police did more harm than help. Another reason was they did not have proper identification and were in this country illegally.
Also, you have to have the proper paper work, such as birth certificate, social security number, and in poor countries most people never get their hands on their documents, because of government, and in some places this paper work is never even created (Alvarez 1). Also, poor housing and natural disasters can cause you to lose things of this sort. In poorer foreign countries if they get this documentation it may be the only copy of it. So, if it is lost there is no getting it back of replacing
