How did the living conditions of serfs lead to opposition to the czars?
The conditions never actually lead to opposition to the tsars themselves; the tsars were near-worshipped and revered as father figures for the whole country. However, much opposition was given to the practise of serfdom, and the landlords which enforced it. Again, many serfs were also treated well and did not actually have a problem; others were content with what they had. Those that did resist were usually those in the worst conditions and/or with the worst landlords. They were treated worse than livestock (stock could be sold for more than an equivalent weight of serf; more human power could also be fetched if needed, so they did not need to be treated well) and this led to the outrage of unequal conditions.
