The majority of the 128 million population were Slavs, but there were over 200 different nationalities. Several of these groups wanted regional autonomy and this was the cause of a constant source of political conflict. There were also 5 million Jews and around 23 million Muslims living in the Russian Empire.

Petersburg was the largest city in the Russian Empire with a population of 1,260,000. Most of the people living in the Russian Empire were members of the Russian Orthodox Church. In 1721 the Orthodox Church became a government department called the Holy Synod. It was run by the Chief Procurator, an official appointed by the Tsar.

Completely under the control of the government, the Orthodox Church played an important role in the various russification campaigns. The Tsar also had the power to grant hereditary titles. These usually went to men who had achieved high rank in the armed forces and the civil service. It 1900 it was estimated that there were about 1. 8 million members of the nobility in Russia. Around 85 per cent of the Russian people lived in the countryside and earned their living from agriculture.
