Explanation:

In the early 1900s in Russia, there were widespread famines which led to social unrest. The military was often deployed to suppress the resulting uprisings. The government was not mainly focused on infrastructure repair, the wealthy class was not growing due to employment boom, and the economy was not stalled just because of lack of exports.

Answer:

The military was using force to subdue uprisings caused by famine.
