This is not necessarily so, St.Petersburg, in Late Czarist times, was a European capital in the fullest sense of the term with all manner of such advanced convenienc es as telephones, pay phones in transit terminals, modern transit systems (RR, Trolley cars, subways under development) the Russian Navy had the advanced A-9 Fleet submarine with naptha-type engines and siphon depth breathing- she could do 26 knots on the surface, 23 at siphon depth(while recharging part of the battery plant) and only 5 fully submerged. The Sikorksy Grand of l9l3 was a four engined biplane bomber/transport superior to anything any of the Allied Powers had at the time. Czarist Russia, in the Big cities and defensive structure, was anything but backward. Rural Russia is something else, all countries have or had (Backwater areas or shall we say, Red Acres. but that is something else.
