History
In 1899, aged twenty, Stalin left the seminary and dedicated his life to revolution. It didn't take very much to push someone into **ejecting to the social and economic conditions** in which most people had to live in that empire, but few would be revolutionaries became quite as committed to authoritarianism, hierarchy, discipline, class war and revenge of the poor against the rich as did Stalin.
Hello again!:) Could you explain to me this part "ejecting to the social and economic conditions"? Many thanks!

This would be my suggestion, correcting what appears to be a mistake.
At a pinch, you could possible use "ejecting FROM the social and economic conditions", but that is a rather strange turn of phrase!

Taylorreigne's suggestion may also work, but then you have to drop the preposition "to".
