How does the british historian figes connect the weather of 1890-1891 to the decline of the russian empire in the 20th century

The actually severe weather of 1890-91 caused the starvation of 36 million Russians due to the fact that Southeast Russia didn’t have enough grain. The seeds planted in the autumn couldn’t germinate before a severe winter arrived, and the Spring brought with it dusty winds that blew the topsoil away. It didn’t rain for 100 days, wells, ponds and forests dry up, and the cattle died because they could not be fed. The government warned the newspapers not to denominate that catastrophe as a famine. The eventual food deliveries were slow, millions of peasants lost their faith, and the people for the first time rebelled against the government.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
