"The People"

There are times where a leader is universally hated.

I doubt that

Nikolai II got what was coming for him for decades.

the Most Hated leader and Political Insult in our time is Adolf Hitler

Literally nobody was for him.

Nick didn't deserve what he got, but yeah he was pretty incompetent

He was a good person, but an absolutely terrible and incompetent ruler.

And did the Revolution work out? " The People" aren't these agents without any agency..

are they?

What kind of self-fellating broad strokes armchair history discussion is this

you are welcome to set the course straight oh wise one @εïз irma εïз

"Did the Revolution work out" is another question.

no

it isn't

😂

Literally is. It happened *because* the government failed.

Tell me one time when a Revolution has been better than what was before?

USSR.

The fact that he had relatively widespread support except from social democrats and far leftists until the war completely broke apart the military due to its completely outdated and quasi-Napoleonic structure.

The French Revolution.

Which allowed the country to break up, accelerated by Rasputin which was seen as a national disgrace.

But often exaggerated.

If you think the Communist Revolution in Russia and the French Revolution made things better....

then i have nothing more to say.

@εïз irma εïз I would pinpoint Nikolai putting St. Stolypin away from power as the leading reason behind the acceleration.

Agrarian reforms and the longlasting effects of the freeing of serfs with minor steps towards industrialization helped feed civil disorder.

@AdorableStormtrooper ok lol

>USSR was better off post revolution
u mean with all the mass starvations?

#StolypinGang

And it was all at the right time for WWI to create a power vacuum.

So yeah this Nicholas II was universally reviled and totally incompetent mess is gay. You're welcome for setting it straight @AdorableStormtrooper

I mean, even the White Army didn't bother rehabilitating him.

French Revolution pretty much set France on the path of Self Abolition.. contemporary France is what the proponents have to show for it.

That tells you something.

The army wasn't being paid.

Nothing to do with his leadership.

@Bird Wizard That of course accounts for the USSR post-turmoil, thaw period.

I have no desire to defend Stalin's USSR.

Russia is just a traditionalist country. The war was already being lost badly from the start, it would have crumbled with or without his later micromanagement.

USSR literally legalized abortion, liberalized divorce laws, integrated women in the labor force and created the Gulag System right away as it came to power.
