there was a wide gap between the nobility and the peasants.
marxist revolutionaries were trying to overthrow tsar nicholas ii
communists took ownership of land, mines, and factories.
the russian monarchy (the tsars) abolished serfdom decades earlier.

Explanation:

In 1900, Russia had a feudal - like social structure. The nobility held most of the wealth, land, and power, while the peasants (a large portion of the population) faced hardships such as poverty, lack of land, and harsh working conditions. This wide gap between the two classes led to social unrest.

• Marxist revolutionaries trying to overthrow Tsar Nicholas II was more prominent in the years closer to the 1917 revolutions.
• Communists taking ownership of land, mines, and factories occurred after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
• The abolition of serfdom in 1861 was a past event. While it had long - term impacts, by 1900, the more immediate cause of unrest was the ongoing social gap between nobility and peasants.

Answer:

There was a wide gap between the nobility and the peasants.
