Russia's unique nationalist experience stemmed from Bolshevik alignment with oppressed national minorities, diverse national consciousness, and economic hardships.
Russia had a different experience with nationalist fervor due to a combination of factors. One major reason was that the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, appealed to the oppressed national minorities within the Tsarist Empire, aligning with them against the dominant Great Russian chauvinism.
Additionally, Russia's diverse population, with significant national minorities such as Ukrainians, Finns, and others, had varied levels of national consciousness, making the idea of a unified national identity challenging.
Furthermore, the Russia of that time was grappling with economic hardships, industrialization, and a peasantry heavily concentrated in the countryside, factors that influenced the dynamics of nationalist sentiments within the empire.
