Putin, at this point of time, isn't the worst autocrat to rule Russia … Jus' sayin' ;-\ There is something about Russia's physical and psychological composition that seems to embrace autocracy. Perhaps it is because the country is so diverse and so large; that liberal Western-style politics would, most likely, lead to secessionist movements and fragmentation. Russia is not a country of immigrants; the various ethnic groups have been there for thousands of years. They can legitimately claim their native territory as their own.

Catherine the Great was a friend to Voltaire, who implored her to transition towards a constitutional system. To that end, she convened an elected convention to hammer out the details. She did not interfere, but did observe in secret. After weeks of bickering she determined that there was no way to employ democratic republicanism in her nation, that it took a strong ruler from on high to keep order. Read Robert Massie's biography of her, and his fascinating, detailed bio of Peter the Great. Putin does not wish to be Nicholas, nor Stalin. He wants to be Peter.

''White army, loyal to Nikolas the second'' - seriously? Go back to school! Ps: instead of arguing with 20 people, i rather add some info here. 1. General Ruzsky and A.Guchkov were the ones who insisted Tsar to sign manifesto and that act was supported in that by bunch of other figures who would join the white army shortly after. 2. While some (whites) could sympathize Tsar and monarchy, most the white leaders either remembered Tsar in a negative light like A.Denikin or cared about their own goals like Kolchak. 3. As ''bbonner422'' stated below, ''The white army was fractured into various factions ranging from almost fascist in beliefs to people who wanted a democratic republic. The reason why the Soviets won was because they had more of a united front against the white army''. Many people tend to idealize (whites) for some reason. Their scale of terror in many cases wasn't inferior to the (reds) and even surpassing the (reds) it when speaking mainly about Kolchak. 4. By the time execution did take place, Tsar was left alone by pretty much everyone. His generals didn't care, his British cousin didn't care and most importantly his people didn't care.

Sergei Witte strongly advised the Czar not to go to war against Germany, but his wife did not like the kaiser, also the British and the French put huge pressure on him to go to war against Germany despite the Treaty of Bjorka he signed with kaiser Wilhelm. Wilhelm loved Nicholas more than any other other relative, he never wanted to go to war with Russia.

When they talk about Orthodox church they either say how its mystical, traditional and beautiful or how its corrupt, backwards and shady. They either picture us as backwards, brutal and evil or some legendary place where time stopped and people still live a simple, coasy and "normal" life. But thats west and its how they wanna look at us, we cant change that. They like to think that they are a "modern" society that lives in the "21 century" yet they cant explain what is modern nor what it means to live in 21 century. They forgot the simple question of why are we here and what is our purpouse and started worshiping the green dollar as theire new God. To them modern way of life is money, cars, boats, palaces and reaches that they cant believe that people still go to Church that believes in God and that there is still a church that honors Jesus Christ and his teachings, and that there are people who still live a simple life surraunded by modern technology not obsesed with money and power. This is why we will always be different to them, and why they will always look at us and mock and judge us and compare us to theire cars with ours as if that is a meashure of success.

One of the stupidest things that I've ever seen is two friends sitting next to each other and texting to each other instead of talking. Yes, A LOT of us lost our way and we live too fast. Our food is mass produced and most of it is genetically modified so this causes issues with the body which cause obesity and other issues. And sugar is in just about every food nowadays. Most of the local "mom and pop" shops (example: grocery stores that were owned by a family) have been bought out or starved out by big corporations. Just recently, a local, privately owned, pharmacy in my town was bought out and shut down by CVS pharmacy which is a big, multi-million dollar, company.
