@Mr. X general fear about Russia, barbarians in grey uniforms with reactionary tsar Nicolas the I

Major of country in serfdom

the west do not fear russians, nor do I

what westerners mostly feared was communism and nukes

now we're only afraid of nukes that wont even get used

Communist revolution helped Russia made great jump from backward peasant country to industrial society

it was in vain though

with a tsar you could've done far better

No man

and I dont even like monarchies

the brits dont agree

and I especially dont like russian monarchies

Tsarism was totally bankrupt system at the beginning of XX century in Russia

Thanks to ww1

WW1 saved them

nonsense

on 3 years

ww1 fucked them over

that was the point of ww1

In 1914 was rising of strike movement

even in Petersburg were barricades

Which wasn't in 1905

yes yes I know about that

but in ww1 thats what made it worse

Only war helped to reduce revolutionary situation

Yes

No it bankrupted them much more

Yes but they escaped possible revolution in 1914

I do not reject what you talking about

How did they escape possible revolution in 1914?

>In 1914 was rising of strike movement

Either way it was in vain

so? what proof is there that the war prevented it?

There was a revolution during the war

Not prevented but postpone

How so?

In 1914 was possibility for revolutionary situation but war directed energy of people in patriotic hysteria which reduced in 1915-1916

People instead struggle with czarist government dyed in fields of battle with same working people

I'll research that, but thanks

Either way it was still in vain

capitalism has industrialized people far better before
