After the 1905 incident called Bloody Sunday, the Russian people no longer thought Nicholas II as their "little father" who worried about and cared for their needs. They realized at last that he was no different than most other monarchs being interested only in his own well being and completely unsympathetic and even blind to that of the country and its inhabitants.

Father Giorgi Gapon, the leader of the peaceful Bloody Sunday procession himself said afterwards, "There is no Tsar."

Until then, the common peasant thought of the tsars as near divine right rulers. Except among some of the intelligentsia and more radical revolutionaries, most Russians could not even think of overthrowing the tsars. But when news of Bloody Sunday spread, this attitude changed. This change in attitude toward the tsar from god sent protector to uncaring autocrat paved the way to the Russian Revolution in 1917.

What happened during the reign of Nicholas II?

Nicholas II as a private person was a kindly and by his own admission to his wife, weak-willed man. But as a ruler he grimy held on to his autocratic powers, was totally out of touch with developments and feelings in his country and heavily influenced by his very conservative wife who constantly admonished him to never budge an inch to any reformist or democratic tendency in his country. His wife again was for a period influenced by the starets Rasputin, but he only confirmed her in her autocratic views and advice to her husband that she would have given him anyway.Nicholas' wish to be an autocrat was however in no way matched by his talent to rule Russia by himself. Apart from blocking any tendency to progress and political freedom, he did not have any clear view as to how to rule and where to take his country. In international diplomacy he was easily influenced by others and often took decisions that horrified his ministers.Finally on the eve of WW I he let himself first be persuaded to go for all-out mobilisation (thereby triggering an unwanted war with Germany) instead of limiting himself to protecting Serbia, which was his intention. When the war went badly for Russia, he took active command of the army, although he had no military expertise whatsoever. The result was that he now totally got out of touch with developments and feelings within Russia and did not notice the collapse of Russia's war economy. On top of that, his direct command of the army did not only do nothing for Russian success, but it made the Russian public blame him as directly responsible for Russia's military defeats and setbacks.All this led to the revolution of February, 1917 and his deposition as Tsar.

How did nicholas 2 feel about democracy?

Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia, had a negative view of democracy. He believed in the autocratic rule of the Romanov dynasty and resisted any attempts to introduce democratic reforms. Nicholas II believed that the monarchy should have absolute power and saw democracy as a threat to his authority and the stability of the Russian Empire. His resistance to democratic reforms ultimately contributed to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty during the Russian Revolution of 1917.


Why was tsar nicholas II a criminal?

It could be argued that all royalty are criminals because they live in opulent luxury at the expense of the common people while the common people struggle to put food on the table. The concept of Tsar Nicholas II as a criminal must be taken from a Bolshevik point of view but, either way, Nicholas could not be considered to be a great leader, especially in the light of so many of his accomplished predecessors. Tsar Nicholas II was the Tsar of Russia at a time when Russia was the only country still embracing long established and deeply entrenched serfdom as the fundamental basis for its economy which, after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, was in direct conflict with the ideals of the new Soviet Union, being a Workers State, run by the workers for the workers. Russia suffered a humiliating and crushing defeat at the hands of the Japanese during the 1905 Russo-Japanese War by sending an ill-prepared, equipped and managed navy off to do battle with the better equipped, prepared and led Japanese. In a project commenced by his father Alexander III, Nicholas bankrupted Russia and created a huge foreign debt with the completion of the cheaply and shoddily built Trans-Siberian Railway. Also, Tsar Nicholas involved Russia in World War 1, an expensive and grossly mismanaged war (from a Russian perspective) that was regarded by the Bolsheviks as a war between Imperialist European interests and other Socialist hyperbolae. Due to the incompetance of the Generals, Nicholas assumed direct command of the army from the front leaving the capital in the charge of his gullible and susceptible wife, and open to such influences as Rasputin and others. Since the collapse of the USSR, Tsar Nicholas II and his family have been sainted in the Russian Orthodox Church, which can only be seen to be an apology, since he achieved so little of any worth for Russia and Russians. RESPONDING TO THE ABOVE, ONE DOES NOT NEED TO LOOK AT THE TSAR FROM A BOLSHEVIK POINT OF VIEW TO SEE HIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. ALL OF THE "ACCOMPLISHED" TSARS MENTIONED ABOVE SEVERELY OPPRESSED THE JEWISH POPULATION WHICH THEY KEPT IN A GHETTO CALLED THE PALE OF SETTLEMENT. THE ROMANOVS ALSO SANCTIONED (AND SOME PARTICIPATED IN) RAIDS CALLED "POGROMS" WHERE ENTIRE VILLAGES OF JEWS WERE RAIDED AND BURNT AND THE PEOPLE IN THEM WERE TORTURED AND SLAUGHTERED. JEWS WERE DENIED AN EDUCATION, MANY OCCUPATIONS, AND WERE ONLY PERMITTED TO LIVE IN THE GHETTO. MANY WERE KILLED IN THE NAME OF THE ROMANOVS. THERE'S YOUR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR.

How stable was Russia by the start of World War 1?

Russia was already very unstable before WW1. During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 foreign observers noticed with alarm that the Russian media were behaving quite 'abnormally'. They were *delighted* whenever the Russian forces were defeated and didn't like Russian victories. The British Imperial General Staff concluded that Russia was falling apart and was unlikely to be a serious, dependable ally in a future war. Some say that, with modifications, this view wasn't revised till after Stalingrad.

What events changed the attitude of the Russian people towards tsar nicholas 2nd?

The Russo-Japanese War (Began in 1904) Both Russia and Japan were fighting for control of Korea and Manchuria. Nicholas believed that winning the war would make him more popular with the Russian people. However the Russians lost the war making him very unpopular (as the war had also made working conditions worse than before etc) "Bloody Sunday" (Sunday 22nd January 1905) Led by Father Gapon, peaceful protestors (mostly poor workers and their families) marched through St. Petersburg, on their way to the Tsar's "Winter Palace". The protestors' aim was to present to the Tsar a petition asking for better working and living conditions. When they reached the centre of the city, soldiers and police, first fired warning shots and then opened fire on the crowd - approximately 500 were killed, and thousands more injured. This changed the Russian people's view of the Tsar even though he was not up in the Winter Palace at this time and knew nothing of this.
