West has always had a way of hegemonizing knowledge and thereby power. What I mean is that they document everything foreign to them as negation of their principles and their social formation, with a bias that is rooted in their own history and ideology. So historically creation of western societies is not same as others in East or middle East or Asia . But they always appropriate and then misrepresent others. They did that during colonial era and they continue doing so in globalised, neo imperialistic world. In today's world, media and social media both play a very important role in fashioning popular beliefs and polarising beliefs. Those from West have access to other parts of world only through popular media houses and most of them are again western. Media is a ideological apparatus essentially. And of course the same would apply to others as well. Russia might also have such media houses.It's not like Russia has no problems too but then Western media houses only portray such things. Like only portarying poverty of India and Nothing or not much about developing India.

    Putin, at this point of time, isn't the worst autocrat to rule Russia … Jus' sayin' ;-\ There is something about Russia's physical and psychological composition that seems to embrace autocracy. Perhaps it is because the country is so diverse and so large; that liberal Western-style politics would, most likely, lead to secessionist movements and fragmentation. Russia is not a country of immigrants; the various ethnic groups have been there for thousands of years. They can legitimately claim their native territory as their own.

    Catherine the Great was a friend to Voltaire, who implored her to transition towards a constitutional system. To that end, she convened an elected convention to hammer out the details. She did not interfere, but did observe in secret. After weeks of bickering she determined that there was no way to employ democratic republicanism in her nation, that it took a strong ruler from on high to keep order. Read Robert Massie's biography of her, and his fascinating, detailed bio of Peter the Great. Putin does not wish to be Nicholas, nor Stalin. He wants to be Peter.

Hitler and Stalin were the same kind of fascists, but because we were allied with Russia in World War 2, we had to call them something else, "communist". Then afterwards, during the Red Scare era, they became the enemy.

    ''White army, loyal to Nikolas the second'' - seriously? Go back to school! Ps: instead of arguing with 20 people, i rather add some info here. 1. General Ruzsky and A.Guchkov were the ones who insisted Tsar to sign manifesto and that act was supported in that by bunch of other figures who would join the white army shortly after. 2. While some (whites) could sympathize Tsar and monarchy, most the white leaders either remembered Tsar in a negative light like A.Denikin or cared about their own goals like Kolchak. 3. As ''bbonner422'' stated below, ''The white army was fractured into various factions ranging from almost fascist in beliefs to people who wanted a democratic republic. The reason why the Soviets won was because they had more of a united front against the white army''. Many people tend to idealize (whites) for some reason. Their scale of terror in many cases wasn't inferior to the (reds) and even surpassing the (reds) it when speaking mainly about Kolchak. 4. By the time execution did take place, Tsar was left alone by pretty much everyone. His generals didn't care, his British cousin didn't care and most importantly his people didn't care.

    The Romanovs fell because of the three hundred year curse of Marina Mnishek. In 1613, after the execution of her child, she said this:"The Romanovs will rule Russia for 300 years. The heirs will not die by their own death. This will happen until all the Romanovs die."This led to palace coups and revolutions, and subsequently, the execution of almost all members of the Romanov House and the creation of the USSR.The USSR was actually created for the complete destruction of the Romanovs and other oldest Russian dynasties, but this did not happen, and in 1991 the union broke up.

    Czar Nikolai Romanov's biggest weakness was his wife. She was a very bad influence on him, she brought in the mystic Rasputin who ruined the reputation of the imperial family, she also gave her husband very bad advice. The two men who could have saved him: Count Sergei Witte, and Pyotr Stolypin were both dead by 1915. These men were extremely competent politicians. Sergei Witte strongly advised the Czar not to go to war against Germany, but his wife did not like the kaiser, also the British and the French put huge pressure on him to go to war against Germany despite the Treaty of Bjorka he signed with kaiser Wilhelm. Wilhelm loved Nicholas more than any other other relative, he never wanted to go to war with Russia. His true sentiments are revealed in their private telegrams, but Wilhelm's own government over-ruled him.

And England did not do too well either - after a long civil war to get rid of the king, his son came back 11 years after his execution. I would argue that if the Tsar had gone down the reform route as his grandfather attempted then it might have been a completely different outcome. I think that this is a subject too long for a complete answer but I may do a film of it on my channel sometime in the future!

    Could you imagine if the Romanovs were still in power they would be the oldest ruling house in Europe and they would be in power for 400 years and out of all the other ruling house the richest in all of Europe Hell my grandpapa always said to me compared to Russian palaces Buckingham palace is a 1 room cottage lol and the jewelry in Russia there were stones the size of goose eggs And out of all the other ruling houses the Romanovs paid the coast of there palaces out of there own pockets since they had there own money from the business that they owned that’s what a lot of people really don’t understand

    When they talk about Orthodox church they either say how its mystical, traditional and beautiful or how its corrupt, backwards and shady. They either picture us as backwards, brutal and evil or some legendary place where time stopped and people still live a simple, coasy and "normal" life. But thats west and its how they wanna look at us, we cant change that. They like to think that they are a "modern" society that lives in the "21 century" yet they cant explain what is modern nor what it means to live in 21 century. They forgot the simple question of why are we here and what is our purpouse and started worshiping the green dollar as theire new God. To them modern way of life is money, cars, boats, palaces and reaches that they cant believe that people still go to Church that believes in God and that there is still a church that honors Jesus Christ and his teachings, and that there are people who still live a simple life surraunded by modern technology not obsesed with money and power. This is why we will always be different to them, and why they will always look at us and mock and judge us and compare us to theire cars with ours as if that is a meashure of success.

But, I get your point that we, in the West, are very materialistic and want more...this especially hits hard with the younger generation:/ I still remember a time when I was a child, in the 1990s, and children would still play outside and people would actually TALK face to face with one another instead of always texting. One of the stupidest things that I've ever seen is two friends sitting next to each other and texting to each other instead of talking. Yes, A LOT of us lost our way and we live too fast. Our food is mass produced and most of it is genetically modified so this causes issues with the body which cause obesity and other issues. And sugar is in just about every food nowadays. Most of the local "mom and pop" shops (example: grocery stores that were owned by a family) have been bought out or starved out by big corporations. Just recently, a local, privately owned, pharmacy in my town was bought out and shut down by CVS pharmacy which is a big, multi-million dollar, company. As for Russians, I personally have no issues with them. You are just trying to survive in the world like the rest of us. I pray that you guys do NOT become multi-cultural and that you are able to retain your traditions and your culture. I wish you well, From the USA

    One of the key elements for a revolution (especially one which cannot be conducted without at least a little violence) is demographics - it is far likelier to happen in countries with a large percentage of young people (approx. 16 to 25) and a small percentage of old people. Older people tend to be not only significantly less violent but also more conservative - this is one of the drivers of political changes in the West as well (Brexit being the best example).

    It's so cheap propaganda that it's even funny to listen. > "The Army of Whites, which was betrayed to the Tsar" - the Tsar abdicated long before the Civil War, none of the political forces of the White Movement proclaimed its goal to restore the monarchy in Russia, for the most part the White defended their privileges and the hierarchical order that suited them. > "The Bolsheviks decided to shoot Emperor Nicholas II" - He is not only has not been an emperor for a year, but Bolsheviks did not decide to shoot him either. The decision to execution was taken spontaneously, in connection with force majeure circumstances - the White Offensive on Yekaterinburg, the decision of the Ural Revolutionary Military Council without the sanction of Moscow. About "strengthening the power of Putin "Through "Political Repressions™" and "Military conflicts" -- I generally keep quiet. Especially about military conflicts from the lips of NATO members is interesting to listen to. > "Boris Yeltsin tried to build a democratic state" -- AHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!! Can you hear the knock? This Joseph Goebbels breaks out of Hell to claim compensation for copyright infringement. The death of the royal family is certainly a tragedy of the Civil War. Exactly the same as the death of thousands of other families during this war, fallen under the millstone of history and caught between the White and Red Terror. The death of each family is a tragedy. Not big and not less. And to stick out specifically one and make it a symbol of martyrdom is not right. And this not the first is the Russian king who died on the throne. But for others, for some reason, do not worry. Perhaps because the nobles killed them, gentlemen, sir. They can, it's not "cattle".

    This first picture is never from 1918. on the left you can see Lenin's mausoleum... Which was build several years later.

    That’s one thing that makes me think; what if a lot of countries started to return to their old roots. Germany puts a Kaiser back in power, Russia reverts back to the Russian Empire, England reverts back into a monarchy, etc.

    It would be more appropriate to compare Putin, not to Nicholas II, but Ivan IV.

    Perhaps his greatest failing is not to have an heir much like the tsar. This position would force him to hold on, just to stay alive.

    Well Kaiser was hoping that Lenin and his group would cause small enough problems that would force the Russians out of the war without doing major harm cause William the 2nd of Germany didn't want to go to war with his cousin at all which is why he sent a letter to his cousin to talk things out.

    You must know that the Romanovs were the richest family on the earth and in the same time the people in Russia were very poor, many of them without anything on earth
