Why Russia Experienced Social Change & why it was positive.

# data[].attributes.body
The small amount of social change the Russia experienced was more positive, because for women it men't they were thought more highly of. This was because they had to take care of the household while their husbands or male family member was at war.

# data[].attributes.body
Socially: Socially Russia was slow because the poor roads and long distances men't communication was quite slow for many years.

Culturally: Before the main religion was Russian Orthodox-70% population, but a large minority belonged to other religion.

# data[].attributes.body
Socially: Although there was very little social change Russia did began to have a more benevolent attitude toward women rather then the church. Thus made the church be abolished making Russia the only great power to be an atheist state. Also women became the more primary caretaker of the family, because the men of the households (fathers, brothers, sons, or husbands). Were either fighting at war or they passed away at war.

Culturally: People were forced to relocate, since the war was so close to where people lived. Except when families would return to their homes most homes had been destroyed during the war. And so they would have to find a new place to live and start their life over.
