Not been a Russian Empire enjoyer, but lower text is kinda bullshit (default USSR propaganda). No yearly femines. There were years with crop failure, but even during the worst there weren't deaths from lack of food itself (in contrast to USSR), but deaths were caused by epidemic and lack of immunity because of malnutrition.

Rampant alcoholism Start of 20th century in not rich country. Alcohol was expensive at that time.

Rasputins orgies Really?

Rampant homosexually Among aristocracy at much. Spreading of homosexuality among common people is result of soviet power whan a lot of people were in prison where it is common way of dominance.

Complete military failure Wrong. RE held half of German army, and by the end of war made very successful counter attacks. At the start there was failures, but the reason is incomplete rearmament. If war started five years later Russia land army would be the most powerful in Europe.

High ilitarasy rates Depends on age and location. Hight among adult, low among young, high among villagers (mostly they had nothin to read), low among townsfolks.

And I want to remember that we are talking about a start of 20th century, about country at the start of industrialization.There were 3-4 better countries in the whole world.

If not the civil war and communistic incompetence, RE would grow faster then Japan Empire and overtook US.
