During Alexander III’s reign changes were made but Russia was not involved in a war during this time. Significant changes were introduced when Russia was not at war such as Witte 's 'Great Spurt ', the Five Year Plans & Collectivisation but these factors can be attributed to war as they came about in preparation for war and for Russia to perform better in their next war. Changes in Russia’s development could have also been due to the ideology and personalities of the leaders because after the Second World War not many significant changes were seen in Russia as Stalin was very set in power and he was a strong and unopposed leader compared to Nicholas II who was a weak and ineffective leader and during his reign the first socialist state was created after the First World War. Nevertheless, war is very important and relevant when looking at change in Russia as important changes were introduced almost after every war Russia was involved
