Best Answer

During the 1800s the tsar and the Russian nobility, which comprised 1 percent of the population, controlled much of the land and wealth in Russia. The tsar and his family lived a life of incredible luxury and extravagance. The tsar personally owned millions of acres of land, over one million serfs (servants who worked for the tsar or a noble in exchange for land to farm), and dozens of palaces throughout the empire. The imperial collections of art and jewelry filled several private museums. The tsar could do anything he wished with these resources. For, example Tsar Alexander II built a private railway to connect his palace in St. Petersburg with his palace in Moscow. Tsar Alexander III also kept thousands of acres of land set aside for his private hunting
