Czarist Russia

In Russia during the time the csars ruled, the nobility was the highest class in society. They live a luxurious and exstravegant life. Their loads of land came with almost 1 million slaves. They also owned plenty of other places. The Nobles did plenty with their time to to. They would hunt, fence, gamble. They also played cards and billiards. Csars the richest of nobles did anything they wished with their money. The noble also held very little political power over the Czars. The only problems the nobles worried about were falling into debt and paying the serfs for farming. The Tsar's biggest event was the grand ball that they held. This ball very expensive but at the same time elegant. The nobles would be against any idea of Revolution. One reason is they would have to pays serfs more and give them land for farming. Another would be is that they would lose their social status as a noble. that is what nobility was like in Russia.
