What were the working conditions in Russia like with Nicholas ii as a leader?

Under Tsar Nicholas II, working conditions in Russia were generally poor and marked by long hours, low wages, and unsafe environments, particularly in factories and mines. Workers faced harsh treatment, minimal rights, and limited access to social services. Strikes and labor unrest were common as workers organized to demand better conditions, leading to increased tensions between the government and the working class. These grievances contributed to the growing unrest that ultimately culminated in the Russian Revolution of 1917.
