This is your Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod; Tsar of Kazan...
Not genociding proletariat's was a mistake.

>This is your Emperor

Dał nam przykład Bonaparte,
Jak zwyciężać mamy.
Based Lenin do it again
cringe
I Miss Nikolka bros...
Quite interesting that Russians feel little to none in common with the parts of the former Russian Empire. I mean, Poles love going to Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania because there are buildings, monuments etc. from the Commonwealth era we consider an important part of our history.
Meanwhile I've never heard of Russians visiting Poland, Finland, Caucasus, Uzbekistan or even China to look for traces of their empire. For example, in my home town's cemetery there is a grave of a Russian official from the 19th century, maybe his family is still in Russia but no one comes here from there. Strange.
1812 and 1912. During this time in France all art, politics, architecture changed. In Russia during this time, NOTHING has changed. Nicholai ll is a weakling and a traitor, moreover, who committed the communist threat.
even if they let him live he'd be dead by now tho
The faggot had it coming, absolutely unfit to rule his country, if he didnt take so many idiotic decisions the monarchy would have prevailed.
There is no third rome and its all his fault.
LENIN IS A JEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicholas was objectively the worst leader of his time.
>change is good
>the revloution wasnt a disaster
made for big shot straight into his head
you know that changes can go also in evolutional ways?
>nothing changed
>before 1812 you guys have no good art & literature at all
>after 1812 you have good literature and classical music
Russia abolished feudalism in the 1860s. Russian classical music started to be good in the 1850s.
what good is literature when more than 80% are illiterate?
50% in 1940 Soviet Union worked in agriculture
Russia still had tons of social issues.
The Duma had no power. Land reform was not happening (which enraged most of the pop). Russification was an absolute joke indicated by how quickly every borderland country broke off during the Russian Civil War. Corruption was a problem on every level of administration.
Even if both world wars magically not happen or completely avoid Russia for some reason (which would be undoubtedly a huge boon for Russian economy, even if during WW1 their arms industry was not able to keep up and they had to import tons of stuff from US, UK and Japan), a civil upheaval was inevitable.
The Bolshevik revolution was the culmination of Nicholas's ignorance. How long had he been ignoring the calls for reforms? 20 years?
Instead of asking "how to stop the radicalists" he should have asked "why do they exist in the first place". If he followed the latter, he might have lived to see the end of the Great War. But he didnt. Rulers like Nick 2 are a dime a dozen and it never ends well. People only remember him fondly because they're usually pro-monarchists or anti-communists because Nicholas's death had a lot more meaning than his life.
It halved by 1942, probably because of the war.
>Russia abolished feudalism in the 1860s.
You don't know how it work it Russia.
Sure definetely judeobolsheviks knows better.
working in agriculture =/= being illiterate
>Educational standards were very low in the Russian Empire. By 1800, the level of literacy among male peasants ranged from 1 to 12 percent and 20 to 25 percent for urban men. Literacy among women was very low. The rates were highest for the nobility (84 to 87 percent), merchants (over 75 percent), then the workers and peasants. Serfs were the least literate. In every group, women were far less literate than men. By contrast in Western Europe, urban men had about a 50 percent literacy rate.
>In 1897, the overall literacy rate of the Russian Empire was an estimated 24%, with the rural literacy rate at 19.7%
Neither do you as you didn't live in that time.period nor have authentic records of contemporary non partisan sources
Unironically one of the top 5 richest people who has ever lived
Where'd all that money go, I wonder?
kys commies
Wasn't serfdom abolished by law in 1865?
If you work in agriculture learning to read means little, retarded subhuman.
And many Russians were litereate the non Russians who can't speak Russian were illiterate.
>emancipation of serfs
>liberalisation of imperial cabinet
>increasing participatory roles of zemstvo
>witte reforms and rapid industrialisation
>nothing changed
This nigger was so awful it makes me support Nips and Reds.
Retarded uneducated proletariat's are simeans.
> don't respect Nikolai ll
> that mean you commi
First shit, second shit even bigger. I need understand it.
based. wtf i love lenin now
>If you work in agriculture learning to read means little, retarded subhuman.
how can you do your taxes, read the bible, sign a contract
you dumb nameshit nigger
>And many Russians were litereate the non Russians who can't speak Russian were illiterate.
source: my ass
>witte reforms and rapid industrialisation
This desu. Witte could have saves the Tsardom if Nicholas didn't cockblock him at every given oppurtunity.
Industrialization happened only during Witte, very very late 19th - early 20th century but that was about it. Witte's rails are still used more that 100 years later.
But that's not a testament to Witte, but to the retardation of Russians.
>lenin is becoming less and less respected in russia
>Nicholas II and his family are now saints with growing devotion
The Romanovs win again, commies eternally btfo
* saved
>still used 100 years later
we still use some austro-hungarian rails.. it's literally just metal sticks, no need to redo the whole thing if you're not planning on using high speed rail
>But to return to the crucial question, Was the prewar rate of Russian economic and industrial progress rapid enough to overcome Russian backwardness? The Association of Russian Trade and Industry would have answered with a resounding no. It would have strongly protested a recent opinion that "from the point of view of the industrial development of the country war and revolution or the threat thereof may reasonably be seen as extraneous phenomena."46 Witte and the Russian industrialists knew better: the realities of the political and diplomatic power struggle did not permit separation of economics from politics. They dreaded the political consequences of economic weakness both in domestic and in foreign policy;
>In short, if the war taught one lesson to Russian economists, it was that a gradual and balanced economic policy, which Kokovtsov held out as the ideal, was too slow for the overall needs of the country; and there is evidence that the lesson had a wider public appeal than in Witte's day.54 The stage was set for the Soviet regime and its most drastic and revolutionary determination to push industrialization at any price whatsoever.
>Witte, as chairman of the Imperial Finance Committee, pleaded that Russia was in worse state, financially and economically, than at the eve of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.
Stavrou, Russia Under the Last Tsar, pp. 145-6
law and reality are two different things
>Losing to chinks in denial
I hate commies but he was one of the main reasons why they won in the end. Not mentioning he got cucked by a fucking drunkard priest. Fucking manlet of a royal.
the Romanovs were probably the best-looking royal family of their time
Look that guy understand how it work in Russia
based
I like some aspects of the late Tsardom just like how I like some aspects of the USSR. Problem is brainlets only like the wrong parts of the former.
Reality was millions of former serfs became wealthy land owning people of high worth called kulaks as opposed to retarded money's who couldn't make money.
I wonder how he would feel knowing his body is now a tourist attraction
Enlighten us on what was so good about these two
Monkeys
So were former serfs simply kept on farms anyways?
Former serfs if they were smart obtained ownership of vast lands and could turn a good profit through good organization and agricultural practices
The bolshevik backbone were educated Jewish leaders and retarded people who can't make money nor solve a simple puzzle.
>good
When they did good stuff
>bad
When they did bad stuff
I mean even the official Soviet Union statement regarding the Tsardom said it was decent until Alexander Ist when they began to slowly slink downwards. They weren't all bad.
>The bolshevik backbone were educated Jewish leaders
You mean Balts. Lenin wouldn’t even qualify as jewish under the Nuremberg laws.
