What conditions in russia challenged progress during the early 1800s

Russians declined the changes or progress that threatened their privileges and their society is widely controlled by landlords and landowning nobles. Their social structure is also very rigid.

The main chunk of Russians were laborers who are confined to the land and are masters who controlled their fate. The middle class people were too small as a group in order to have an impact or influence any effective changes in their society. The French revolution and the Enlightenment were bringing about liberal and nationalist changes but it didn’t affect the Russian dictatorship.
