What were the reason for the Russian Revolution?
Well, 1.The czar led luxurious life and people suffered under poverty. 2.Peasants were crushed by corrupt landlords and this rampant corruption was unchecked. 3.Rasputin became the master and the czar and czarina his puppets.they were foolish enough to believe the dangerous monk. 4.When the peasants went to petition the czar highlighting their conditions the soldiers fired at them leading to the BLOODY SUNDAY incident. 5.Next came World War I where the people were taxed to pay for the huge war expense.here Russia suffered huge losses.this made people frustrated. 6.Marx and other thinkers found communist rule the only solution to Russia's problems.this was propagated by Lenin and his group. 7.While most parts of Europe had progressed Russia had stagnated under centuries of czarist rule.the czar simply failed to understand the appeals of the masses. when you are free i would suggest you to see the film "NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA"about the revolution and the fate of the czar.its excellent and captures the mood of the peasants during that time.
How much does it cost for an Indian to travel all of Europe?
I do not know how much it would cost to travel all of Europe but I can cite my euro trip plan and cost for it. I backpacked through Europe for a period of 24 days. I have visited Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Amsterdam, Prague, Germany (just overnight stay), Switzerland. It cost me a whole of 1,60,000 approximately.The biggest advantage with Europe is you get a Schengen visa and you can travel to 26 countries of Europe. I was checking for the visa requirements list, here are the docs you need to submit:1)We need to have flight ticket bookings.2) We need to have accommodation bookings.3) Need Euro rail pass in case you are planning to travel multiple countries like I did.4) Bank account statement with a good enough balance to cover you expenses in Europe.5) Travel Insurance. Below is the split of my expenses with a small brief and the route map:1) Visa charges - INR 60002) Air tickets (Turkish airlines) - Mumbai-Istanbul-Athens/Zurich-Istanbul-Hyderabad. - INR 55,0003) Travel Insurance - Rs 2000 (I don't remember the exact number)4) Euro Rail pass + Train Tickets - Rs 16,000 + Rs 10,0005) Accommodation charges - 45,000 - Few days I did the overnight journey on the trains, I slept outside the airports, slept in the garden near the eiffel tower and in a telephone booth to beat the cold.6) Sightseeing tickets for Colosseum, Comp Nou stadium, Eiffel Tower, Vatican City, Louvre museum, Bike rent for a day - Rs 10,0007) Food - I made it a habit to have heavy breakfast, which I get as a complimentary in the hotel I stayed. Then I used to have a burger combo in McD, this cost me about 6euros (=INR 360). A light snack in the evening worth 4 euros. I allotted a budget of 10 euros for food per day. I stayed for 24 days so 24 * 6euros = 144 euros rounding off to 150 euros. In Indian rupees, food cost me another INR 10,350.8) Misc - INR 5000. I did not do any shopping and no adventures activities in Swiss.The total cost was = 1,60,000 (rounded number).During my trip in 2012, Airbnb and couch surfing did not catch up. I used Booking.com: The largest selection of hotels, homes, and vacation rentals instead.My route map of the trip.PS: I did the trip in 2012. The value of euro was equal to INR 69. I felt that the trip can be done for a much lower cost if I had carried a tent with me because Europe is quite safe.
