The large number of poverty-stricken employees who ended up working for long durations in exchange for meager compensations coupled by their slam dwelling status further fueled the worsening situations. The poor conditions touched the renown Karl Marx and he ended up in describing the peasants as only supposed to lose the chains and nothing else (Kowalski 32)
First Russian Revolution in 1917 The first Russian revolution abruptly happened in the February of 1917 and to many people it was the expected and it saw the overthrowing of the Russian monarchy. As a badly plotted event, it otherwise resulted from a number of successful successive happenings before, during, and after 1917 (Levine 51)
Petersburg and did not consider what the citizens thought about the country.3 there were thus both domestic and foreign impact that would shape the world history (Wade 1)
At this moment, Nicholas was facing extreme pressure on his leadership and thus, he renounced his sovereign power where his brother took over power. Unfortunately, Michael failed to acknowledge the authority as he (Nicholas' brother) failed to accept the challenge from his brother as he opted for election to power by Duma and due to his stand on the matter, the following day saw his resignation leaving Russia without a national leader (Wood 59)
They saw the abolition of serfdom 'from above' as a necessary prerequisite so that peasants could own their own communities. However, they had no desire to abolish the autocracy but merely to rid it of its authoritarian element which, they felt, left no space for the spiritual development of the people (Duffy, 2006)
As a result, large multinationals must compete with one another for both global markets and substantial and diverse productive capacity. This similarly encourages modest investment in Russia, a market of 150 million, even in the face of continuing economic difficulties and political uncertainty (Saunders, 105)
Thus, the conflict continues with the Ukrainian government being given basically no support for its territorial integrity. Some analysts have also noted NATO's conflict in Serbia against Russian-backed Slobodan Milosevic as a possible contributor to the group's inaction in Ukraine to this point (Schlesinger, 2014)
The only variable of interest is state power. States can use their power to gain their objectives (Slaughter, 2011)
Much of its territory was occupied by ethnic Russians, not ethnic Ukrainians, creating internal political conflict since independence. The Crimean Peninsula was especially contentious because it had only been ceded to Ukraine in the 1950s, having been Russian for a couple of centuries prior to that (Thompson, 2014)
Tensions can rise during negotiations and discussions, and that can cause the negotiations to turn into more of a fight than a discussion. Even a heated debate can leave people feeling as though they no longer want to do business with one another, when before they felt as though they would have worked well together (Abrahamson & Eisenman, 1999)
In those kinds of cases, corporate diplomacy is very important, because the company will want to move forward as quickly as possible to get a store built and open in a new area. That can start the revenue stream coming in, which will help to pay for the cost of creating the new store (Botan & Hazleton, 2006)
That all occurred in 2009, when the company was first working toward having a presence in Russia and getting everything worked out with the government, contractors, and utility companies there (Heath, 2010). Just as IKEA was about to open their store, the utility company approached them and said they would have to have a bribe before they would turn the power on (Bush, 2009)
These corporations certainly do not want to have to deal with bribes, but they also do not want to react so strongly that they alienate the country. Saying no, diplomatically, has a lot of power in the corporate world (Christensen & Cornelissen, 2011)
Each corporation that does business in multiple countries, or that is thinking of moving into the market in a new country, must carefully consider corporate diplomacy in an effort to avoid problems that can slow down the plans for expansion and may even put an end to the entire project. Large corporations often think that diplomacy is not really necessary, and that they can just muscle their way into a new place because they have an established name and reputation, but that is not always the case (Cornelissen & Kafouras, 2008)

For companies like IKEA, one of the ways to get into the market is to show the people who are in charge from a political sense that the company's moving into the area would benefit them. If they believe this to be the case, the company will likely be allowed in, and if they are not able to convince the people in power, then it will be likely that the company will have to locate itself elsewhere (Czarniawska & Sevon, 1996)
Politics matters a great deal when it comes to a new company coming into an area, and that is especially true if it is a company that is based in another country and wants to move into the market in a country where it does not yet have any stores or presence. Once a company is established in a country, building more stores may be easier, because those who are in political power will be able to judge whether the company is popular and whether it is providing revenue and value to the country (Daymon & Holloway, 2002)
That can make things difficult, as companies in Sweden would generally never take bribes, while companies in Russia would be expecting to receive them. This is a large cultural difference that may not be very easy to address, but that has to be worked through if there is to be success when it comes to a company moving into a different country and doing well there (Frandsen & Johansen, 2012)
