The Political Power of the Bourgeoisie: Russia, 1905-1917 compared with Spain, 1874-1931

Thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Ever-present change and revolution. Every system that once started being has inevitably to come to an end, any attempt to avoid it is useless and only delays when it would happen, until the point it is not sustainable anymore. But the development of such a change is completely depending on the conditions in which such system has been developed and how it is structured in its last breath. Hence, we are conducting this project under the aim of understanding the key factors that affected the Bourgeois Revolutions in Spain and Russia during the last years of XIXth and first of XXth centuries. To do so, we mainly devote our attention to the autocratic structure and liberation of peasants in Russia and the establishment of a parliamentary system and its connections with the bourgeoisie in Spain, both complemented with a dynamical economical analysis of the countries. All together shows us how the lack of liberties in Russia was the main justification of the cataclysm, while in Spain the bourgeoisie achieved a full control of the political power.
