In what ways and for what reason did Russia under the rule of the Communists come to resemble Russia under the rule of the Tsars?
Under Communist rule, Russia resembled the Tsarist regime in its centralized authority and repressive governance, as both systems prioritized control over dissent and maintained a significant power disparity between the ruling elite and the populace.

Ultimately, this continuity of authoritarianism and social hierarchy reflected a paradox in the Communist leadership's revolutionary ideals versus their governing practices.
