At the beginning of the 20th century, the vast majority of Russians were peasants. About 85% of Russia's population depended on agriculture for their livelihood. Peasants produced agricultural goods for the market as well as for their own needs. Russia was a major exporter of food grains. The majority of the land was farmed by peasants. However, the Orthodox Church, the Crown, and the nobles owned enormous estates. Peasants were split, just as workers. Except for a few instances, they showed no respect for the nobles. They frequently avoided paying rent and even killed landlords. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
