What mistakes made Nicholas II

So not Chukchi writer - reader Chukchi and here's a look fotochki royal bathed sweet snot about what Kohl №2 cool I decided to write Postica, on the basis of postets kopipasta of tyrnete and my personal understanding of the fact that you can judge people only by their deeds .





As an individual, as a personality of Nicholas II should be evaluated by one criteria, but as a public figure - on the other. As regards the first aspect, it was the one of whom usually say: "beautiful people." Decency in him was absolute, he never deceived anyone. In the family, children, wife, he could serve as a model for his subjects. If Peter I called the best carpenter Russia, it could be called the best family man country.

But here as Nikolai Alexandrovich as a statesman ... Unfortunately, in this field, he did not look brilliant. He made a lot of mistakes that led to the accident, a fall of the empire.

What were the errors:

 - In the XIX century Russia came under the strong influence of Western ideology, and Nicholas, continuing the path of Alexander III, was to build a state capitalist, Protestant path, not the indigenous Russian bases. We had an open green street any crooks, in the shortest time appeared incredibly rich: railroad tycoons, bankers, factory owners, and so on. E., That caused hatred among the population. Our collective consciousness rejects inequality, division by the very rich and very poor.

Nicholas followed Westerners immediately gave a lot of freedom, believing, apparently, that every man laid "instinct" of morality and conscience. As a result, for example, the time got away c hands of radicals. During the reign of Nicholas II, opened the hunt for state employees. Stolypin tried to rectify the situation, began to hang the terrorists. But was such a ruckus! Leo Tolstoy, having one foot in the grave, wrote an angry article "I can not be silent," where he spoke against the death penalty terrorists. Although for all time Stolypin executed 8000 people, and the terrorists killed 32 thousand. 4 times more!

It would be possible, in wartime conditions, the independent press (though depending on the other, the non-Russian capital) press. The French, the most democratic in the whole of Western Europe - pressed. When the war began, France had been established Sonderkommando who were preventively at the first signal of the possible arrest of the opposition. Not revolutionaries - the opposition! No one was arrested because no one dared. All peace-lover sat quietly. Was last emperor fault occurred in the 1917 revolution? Yes, there was. He behaved gently and humanely than behaved liberal and even then almost godless European rulers. What else strikes in wartime ?! It was necessary to pass a law that all workers recruited for military service! And in the workplace would not be any strike, because when you're a soldier, a strike is shot. Liberal England after all and came mobilized for war workers at their workplaces.

Finally, it was necessary to resolutely resist the conspiracy that drove the Emperor in the corner, and even got to the actual arrest him (Pskov), resulting in an unconditional direct betrayal - a violation of the oath - General Ruzsky. Because even in the situation where the royal train, scary thought, was unable to move in the direction of the capital, the king could not resist. It's very easy to imagine.

... The train decrepit old man, but for all his manly senility, selflessly devoted to the Emperor, Minister of the Court Baron Fredericks, a government official. Consider the situation at the time: a government official who had the right to approve any decision of the Sovereign (no doubt, would have approved Fredericks!), In the absence of ratification of the Chamber. The train personally loyal to the Emperor his flag-captain, Rear Admiral Suites Niles, and the train escort - escort Cossacks, who will go for the king to death, if the king orders. Imagine: in the cabin with the Emperor General Ruszky that threatens, almost shouting to his Emperor. A Niles stands in the corridor ... You could just shout: "Niles!" Niles would have appeared in the second. "Convoy here! Ruza hang on a telegraph pole! "- And hung would, among other things. Quickly and soon the Cossacks can. A Fredericks, after the loop zadrygalsya traitor Ruza, ordered to give a circular telegram "to run the country, army commanders, Ruza hung, Nicholas." But Emperor Nicholas internally decided not to give such an order. Not because he had been brought up - is not the lack of and certainly not a sin, it is a time when at least verbally declared mercy (unfortunately, calling him a bad word "humanity"). Emperor Nicholas was merciful.

From myself: charity must be exercised to pobedzhennym - cruelty to the defeated enemy is an indicator of inferiority, but mercy to the enemy attacking you have a weak character.
What has resulted is a conniving? By weakening Russia to the victims in the civil war:
Total killed and died of wounds 2 500 000
Were killed in a terror 2,000,000
Died from hunger and epidemics 6,000,000
Emigrated 2,000,000
Total 12,000,000
To understand the population of Moscow is now 12 million is almost 10% of the population of Russia !!! Squander so many people it is VERY charitably!
But this Cromm kolosalnoe weakening economy, industry, lowering the already high standard of living is not the mass of the population!
Looks like the first world that was at the time of Nicholas to any thoughts do not direct? Do not suggest that the time of war - Russia was dragged into the war and now being drawn into turmoil did not attend an exemplary family man and just a wonderful man named Nicholas II ...

And the fact that he married a German woman, although of European nobility all know that they are suffering from hemophilia and in the future there is a good chance to leave the throne without an heir, and it means turmoil.

In general Nikolai good man, but he was clearly profneprigoden.
A person who does not know the history of his people, there is no future.

Finished. Can sleepers.
