The large Russian population in the 19th century remained primarily rural, not moving to cities. Most of the rural population were former serfs who continued to work at agriculture in old world ways.
Between 1850 and 1900, Russia's population doubled but remained mainly rural. And that rural population operated mostly in small, peasant farm fashion. There wasn't the same acceleration toward urbanization seen in nations that were industrializing more rapidly. Russia's autocratic government under the tsars was also not ready for the sort of progress needed for industrialization.
No the french colonies did... Good luck
Peasants' Revolt, also called Wat Tyler's Rebellion, (1381), first great popular rebellion in English history. Its immediate cause was the imposition of the unpopular poll tax of 1381, which brought to a head the economic discontent that had been growing since the middle of the century. I hope this helped <3
