I was reading Dostoevsky and one of the characters says of another character that he is "Raw material for the revolution". The book was published in 1880, so I got to wondering. Was the coming Russian revolution so obvious? Dostoevsky was not the only one to predict or mention a coming revolution within Russia. The way that it's mentioned is so casual that it's almost as if it was already a foregone conclusion decades before it actually happened.
How did so many people know that the revolution was coming so long before it actually happened? Was Russian society on the verge of a revolution for decades?
Jesus Christ you american guy.
From 1860-s till october revolution the society was fucked and full of discontent.
Dekabrists Master race. Also Russian nihilism Master race. The whole period was a clusterfuck.

De Maistre was an advisor to Russian tsar and he told him if the serfs are ever liberated the country will plunge head on into a disastrous revolution and civil war, that was in like 1810 or something.
