-

-
Czar Alexander II
-

Correct Answer
A. SerfdomExplanation
Serfdom was the largest problem in Czarist Russia. Serfdom was a system in which peasants were bound to the land and were essentially treated as property by the landowners.

The end of serfdom was a significant step towards modernization and social progress in Russia.Rate this question:
