Tsar Alexander III may have been quite conservative (some accuse him of being a reactionary, but his father had been assassinated by terrorists, so one can understand). Even so, he was a visionary and understood that if Holy Russia was to move forward, it was going to have to form strategic economic alliances. Russia's march toward industrialization and the 20th century was championed and encouraged by Tsar Alexander III. He was no-nonsense Tsar and he is still honoured in Russia to this day.
@ricardo531003 жыл бұрын
Alexander III was quite anti-war. He experienced the horrors of the battlefield during Russo-Turkish War in 1878. He was wise to avoid external conflicts. His father, Alexander II, had ended the Crimean War that Nicholas I entered. Western critics do not understand that a transformation from a largely agrarian bi- continental multi-ethnic empire ruled by an iron hand to a modern democratic constitutional order is no easy task. It would have taken many decades of peace and prosperity to achieve. That was never in the cards.
@doctorfuntime17092 жыл бұрын
You speak the truth friend. While Alexander III was a conversative reactionary he had no problems with change it was change to would ruin Russia and ran it to the ground that he had a problem with. Alex III was no tyrant nor a bully as being an autocrat is a sacred role than a way to lord over others nor an excuse to let power go to the head. He used his power to protect his people and help with Russia’s growth as a country. Tsar Alexander III had a heart as big as him and was a fair, good natured and benevolent ruler who reigned with compassion and love. He treated not just his people fairly but also citizens all throughout his empire religious or other ethnicity ( he wasn’t responsible for any of the programs I his empire neither did Nicholas I). While he did suppress people he only superseded those who deserved it double crossing violent and dangerous revolutionaries who had no qualms sinking to low levels in having Russia under their thumb. People make false accusations of him not wanting Russia to change when in reality he was willing for his nation to progress as along as it doesn’t doom Russia.

Rick Jones very much true he did make his armed forces more powerful he did so pacifistically with no bloodshed. Although he wanted his empire to have more influence he didn’t want to start violent battles he saw what they can do. Nicholas II definitely got it from him wanting to make sure both ears he fought in were avoided ( like father like son). Not to mention finding the right person for the Duma who were good individuals which was also really hard to do ( it’s a miracle that Nicholas II managed to get some only for them to die so soon). As well as brutal and sanctimonious revolutionaries ( aka anarchists, terrorists and felons) slaughtering capable members of The Duma. Nicholas II may not of liked the idea of his empire having a Duma he was willing to give it a try so that his empire and country can advance and progress with him only shutting it down when it’s members are doing nothing to help it’s country and care more about themselves than their empire. Nicholas II had every reason to close down the Duma they wanted time asking for personal gain than thinking of ways to benefit their people and it was a problem Nicholas had to deal with. Nicholas II wasn’t to blame for the Duma being ineffective when it’s clear that The Duma were at fault for being no help at all Nicholas II did his best to make life better for his people with The Duma but put their own desires above the needs of their fellow Russians. It was a good thing that Stolypin was actually a decent and good man who wanted to help improve his empire ( Nicholas made the right choice making him his prime minister but it’s a shame that he was killed by a bloodthirsty anarchist).

Esperance Fe indeed Nicholas II was one of the best rulers The Russian Empire ever had he didn’t thrive longer because of disloyal usurpers and double crossers wanting to tear down Russian society and culture. Decent human beings and good men ( and people) make amazing leaders the only problem is there’s people out there planning to ruin all the hard work they do. Maximilian I, Faisal II, Mary I, Wilhelm II, Shah Mohammad, George III and so many other European monarchs who were good men didn’t stay in power for long which is a shame as they didn’t deserve to be dethroned nor removed from power in any. Also Nicholas II was very aware of who the Revolutionaries were. ( they did kill his grandfather another good men who did things out of the goodness of his heart with the thanks he gets was being killed by terrorists). He did his best to suppress them the only reason why they were still around was his humanity.

The most recent attempt was after the downfall of the soviet union, but it only made everything worse.

The revolution would have happened anyway. Tsar Nicholas II had no interest in a constitution, hated the Duma. His son had hemophilia, the Tsarina believed completely in Rasputin's power to stop the bleeding. If they had made public the Tsarevitch's issues, the opinion is that the Russian peopled would have rallied round the Romanov family. As it was, they saw Rasputin often going to Tsarkoe Selo, and without knowing the reason they imagined scenarios that put the family in bad light. At the end, the people were fed up with Rasputin got his confederates appointed to high positions and began to direct the war. All of it was done through Alexandra. She should have stayed out of it and just worried about her son.

I really can't blame Alexander for his conservative style during his reign. His father had done so much to help the people, but they still killed him anyway. To Alexander, if the people still saw his father fit to be killed when he was going to sign a constitution into law the next day, why should he even bother with it? Yes, it caused the downfall of the monarchy in the long run, but you cannot tell me that if he knew not signing it into law was going to destroy his country and arguably more importantly, his family, he still wouldn't have granted it.

It is really impossible to know whether Russia would have been convulsed into WWI had Alexander II lived another 10 years and had been able to implement his constitutional changes. It certainly would have been an improvement from what happened in the absense of reform. The crucial event in Russian history prior to 1914 was the entry of Russia into WWI. The military was not prepared and the massive amount of losses in human lives that arose from the war combined with the damage to the Russian economy was a perfect storm that created the conditions for a violent revolution. The last Russian tsar, Nicholas II, never realized that sharing power meant sharing responsibility for failure. He had been schooled that absolutism was next to "godliness" . He did not realize that governance must change with the times. The central problem with absolutism is its dependence on the ability of one man to make correct decisions nearly 99% of the time. That is beyond the capabilities of anyone. That was especially true at the end of the 19th century. The tragedy of Russian history has always been lost opportunities. I fear that we are witnessing that same tragedy again.

Nicholas II had no intentions nor desire for war and tried avoiding it the best he could. The French Government and the warhawks in his army kept pushing him for war he even ordered a partial mobilization which was dismissed by the officials. Also I’m pretty sure that Nicholas saw being an autocrat was a sacred duty and that he never absolutism as next to godliness. Nicholas was reluctant in going to war and only did so out of noble goal of protecting a weaker neighbor twice. Heck both time he was close to winning both wars of only outside forces didn’t intervene. Also he didn’t have any problems with reforms and was willing for changes to be made to his country ( as long as they didn’t harm Russia).

Is dit korrek om te dink die geskiedenis sien outokratiese leiers noodwendig as sleg. Wat is die mening van die gewone russiese werkersklas mense vandag oor hulle gewese tsar? Het hy hulle voorouers net uitgebuit, sleg behandel, en net wetgewing daar gestel om hulle te na te kom?

So we're not going to talk about the pogroms? Or the enforcement of Orthodox Christianity? Russian language being forced? Cool, ok.

Alexander iii died too early. If he had maybe 10 - 15 more years his son nicholas would have been better leader.

That is absolute bullshit. Nikolaus was not a cruel man. His supposed politicians and nobles were supposed to give him good advice. They didn't. They only cared about money. And on top of that, Lenin and Stalin killed more Russians and innocent people than ANY Tsarist rule. They're still finding mass graces. I can forgive your ignorance, but not your impunity. You would be a communist bootlicker.

They are canonized as passion-bearers by the Russian Orthodox Church, making them literally martyrs. Can’t even blame your sadistic attitude on being young either, your account is over 13 years old and you whine about capitalism all the time. At least the Trotskyists got their comeuppance eventually. Suharto’s legacy soon to be repeated hopefully!
