There are three main reasons for the increase in opposition to Tsarism in this period.
Firstly the programme of industrialisation embarked upon after the Crimean War was creating massive factories and huge mining and steel towns. These new workers were treated very badly - employers (and most workers were employed by state enterprises) pay was low, housing was very poor - hot-bunking in dormitories was common, they were paid no sick or disability pay and labour unions were banned. This ban meant that radical politicians, not afraid of exile or prison, were able to agitate for workers' rights.

Secondly emancipation was not granted - serfs had to buy their freedom and the redemption payments were harsh, many could not afford them, so remained enserfed. (many millions were still serfs in 1917)

Thirdly the Socialist Revolutionary party was founded in 1896 - this was the party of the peasantry - they were a terroristic party, they advocated bombing and murder to further their aims. And the Russian Social And Democratic Labour Party was founded in 1898 - they later split to become the Bolsheviks and Menshevik parties.

The taxes and things as such was very much based on the facts and figures of the time periods between 1700-1800, and as you know money was much higher back then. Therefore 10% of the incomes (which was what it was in the ancien regime) was quite alot for the people now. There is a very close saying of the president of the time and this statement by the inventor of the old regime '(H)ail (A)nciem (K)eron (A)esdi (N)ais' which translates to 'The anciem regime is oficialy old'
