120 years ago, the last Russian emperor Nicholas II took the throne

120 years ago, 2 in November 1894, the last Russian emperor Nikolai II Alexandrovich took the throne. Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov, 26-year-old son of Emperor Alexander III, inherited the throne after the sudden death of his father. On the same day, officials, courtiers and troops took the oath to the emperor.

Nikolai Alexandrovich himself was a good man and a family man. In calmer times, he would rule for the joy of himself and the people, Russia continued to gradually strengthen. But he was very unlucky. First, his father died suddenly, and Nicholas committed unexpectedly the throne ahead of time. Secondly, the Romanovs' empire was in deep crisis, and it needed to be radically reformed, and it had to be done quickly, but without a break (Stalin had to do everything very quickly to save civilization and the people). Thirdly, it was during the reign of Nicholas II that the “world community” (the “civilized West”) sentenced Russia to division. The whole world came to a new era and the old empires, including Russia, had to become a thing of the past. The masters of the Anglo-Saxon project prepared the planet for a big repartition. Germany and Russia had to exhaust each other in a fierce struggle, and their resources served as the foundation of the New World Order.

In general, Nicholas II was not lucky. He did not have the iron will of Father Alexander III and great-grandfather Nicholas I to resist the sophisticated and insidious enemy, as well as the capabilities and ruthlessness of Peter I, to radically rebuild Russia. In order for it to stand in world war and be able to win, come out updated. And without a radical transformation, the old, Romance Russia could not survive. Too deep contradictions lay at its core. For three centuries of its existence, the safety margin of the “White Empire” has been exhausted.

Peter I is usually accused of distorting historical the path of Russia, "cut a window to Europe" and Westernized the country. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Peter only completed the lengthy process that his predecessors began. Without raising the theme of the accession of the Romanovs to the throne (this is a separate, vast and complex topic), it is obvious that from the first Romanovs Russia gradually began to be rebuilt in a Western manner. To begin with, the Romanovs achieved complete freedom from society, gradually reducing the role of Zemsky Sobors and other people's institutions to zero. Then the Romanovs and the power-hungry church hierarchs dealt a terrible blow to the basis of Russian society - the Russian faith, which carried the “Kitezh-grad” (God's Kingdom on Earth) civilization values. The spiritual tradition was suppressed, the line of Sergius of Radonezh and his students, non-possessors, archimandrite Dionysus and the elders of the Solovetsky monastery. After all, it was the Russian faith that was the source of the people's energy, their strength, capable of accomplishing any miracle.

Nikon and other "reformers" who introduced modern Greek rituals, made a complete substitution of the meaning of faith. Living faith was replaced by an empty, formal religion. Avvakum and other “Old Believers” were brutally suppressed. Holy Russia, which the Nikonians reduced to rituals, the total nationalization of the church, bureaucratic servility and police supervision of the parishioners (the priests were obliged to "knock" on suspicious parishioners), in fact, went underground. The most healthy part of Russian society, the Old Believers, became persecuted for steadfastly preserving their ideals. It is they who, with their hard work and patience, will later create the Russian national capital. And before that, for two centuries, they were retreating to the most remote parts of Russia, preserving their own way.

Nikon and Romanovs stopped this life-giving source, the Russian faith. Suffice it to recall how the troops from 1666 to 1674. besieged Solovetsky monastery, the last stronghold of the Russian spirit. Taking it through betrayal, the troops brutally killed the monks, who heroically fought for their abode. They were drowned in ice holes, skinned and hung on meat hooks. As a result, the split led to the formation of a huge gap between the people and the government. This split completely took shape under Peter, when two people were formed in Russia - the Russian people themselves, and the German and French-speaking "elite". At the same time, the best part of the people (up to a quarter of the population) went into a “split”, forming their own, “parallel” Russia. Old Believers retained the Russian faith, spiritual and physical sobriety, honesty and perseverance.

Peter the First completed the case, abolishing the patriarchate and making the church a department of the state. Gradually, most of the population lost faith, and the clergy lost their authority. Faith was kept only by certain old men, like Seraphim of Sarov. The official "Orthodoxy" degenerated, became a formality. Therefore, it is not surprising that the people as a whole showed indifference to the killing of churchmen, the destruction of churches and monasteries during the years of the Civil War. It should be noted that the current "state Orthodoxy" is not at all better than what was in the Russian Empire, the disease has not been eradicated. It is impossible to revive spirituality with beautiful tempering novelties and empty ceremonialism. Thus, in its spirituality and kindness, the Soviet society of the period 1940-1950. It is an order of magnitude higher than the Russian society of the 2000 model.

The attempt of the Romanovs to recode the Russian civilization, turn it into Europe completely failed and ended with the national disaster of 1917 of the year. But it took more than 300 years. Peter I was not the first Westerner, but it was he who made Westernization irreversible. Peter's Cultural Revolution designed a turn towards Europe. The autocrat literally with an iron fist drove Western culture into Russia, with brutal reprisals, such as the execution of archers, when the king personally cut off their heads and forced them to do so, suppressing any resistance. There is nothing fun in shaving beards, dressing up in foreign clothes, sending young people who are most easily amenable to suggestion, recoding, abroad, women's participation in joint parties, these are all elements of the cultural revolution, replacing their values ​​with others. New capital - St. Petersburg has become the western city, the place of residence of the new "elite". No wonder the city carried and carries a lot of Western, including hidden, Masonic symbolism.

The deepest meaning of Peter’s policy was best expressed by one of his closest associates, Peter Saltykov: “The Russians are in every way similar to the Western nations, but they are behind them. Now we need to put them on the right path. " These words became the guiding star of all the "reformers" and "perestroika" who tried to remake Russia and the Russian people in the Western style. This view of Peter was formed under the influence of foreign mentors, and at the same time companions.

As a result, Peter created the powerful Russian empire with all its ups and downs, and he also predetermined her death. The tragedy of his son Alexei is a kind of sign, speaking about the future of Romanovskaya Russia. Peter was able to modernize Russia in a Western way, make it a mighty military, maritime and economic power, but the spirit of the people, its cultural code was distorted, which in the future predetermined the death of the Russian Empire.

The Russian people were divided into two parts - the gentlemen and the impoverished population. Gentlemen possessed a high, Western culture, they could receive an excellent education, travel, live in clover, and the population was reduced to the level of almost slaves who had to fight for the empire, bear all costs, pay taxes. At the same time, the “elite” gradually degraded. Unfortunately, such Russian people in the spirit as Lomonosov, Suvorov, Ushakov, Nakhimov, Kornilov were not enough for the whole of Russia, they could not close all the “embrasures”. In general, the “elite”, having lost the iron tsar-reformer, who did not spare anyone, including himself, decomposed, saturated with Western values. "Elitist" even killed the sovereign Paul when he tried to restore discipline and order in the aristocracy. As a result, it was the “elite” that made the February 1917 revolution of the year, the charter to endure such “remnants” as autocracy. The pro-Western "elite" wanted to finally join Europe, make Russia look like England or France.

Under Alexander III (and even a little earlier), the Russian Empire got a chance for transformation, restoration on the basis of the Russian way. The Eastern (Crimean) War and the Berlin Congress 1878 of the Year, which deprived us of the fruits of victory over the Ottoman Empire, showed that Russia has no friends and allies in Europe. It was under Alexander Alexandrovich that the foreign and domestic policy of Russia began to rapidly “grow into Rus’s”. In Russian culture, traditional motifs began to appear. She unexpectedly took up the search for the deep foundations of Holy Russia, the moral sources of Russian life. Tolstoy, Leskov, Tyutchev, Dostoevsky, Leontyev, Fet, Savrasov, Levitan, Nesterov, Mussorgsky, Dal, Danilevsky and many others revealed the depths of Russian existence. The major figures of Russian culture knew perfectly well and appreciated European culture, but it came to the realization that it was alien, that Russian culture and civilization were original and self-sufficient. As a result, the Russian people and the state opened up opportunities for radical transformations based on the Russian way.

However, Russophile Alexander III fell ahead of time, and Nicholas II could not change the situation and save the empire, create a new elite in Russian spirit, eliminate illiteracy, conduct industrialization and restructuring of agriculture. At the same time, continuing the foreign policy course of Alexander the Peacemaker, without getting involved in external conflicts, focused on the internal arrangement of the Russian Empire.

Especially dangerous for the then Russia was to fight. She could not fight anyway. The most far-sighted people, like Durnovo, Stolypin and Rasputin, warned about this (the last two Masonic structures were physically eliminated). Already the Russian-Japanese war 1904-1905. showed all the rottenness of the empire and the precariousness of the internal situation, where the hardest political, socio-economic and national contradictions have ripened. The war revealed the problem of the lack of strategic planning for decades to come. Russia had dozens of years of peace in the Far East, but did not use them for a serious development of the region. The war showed the weakness of the “peacetime” generals; among the generals there were no Suvorovs and Schelians, ready for decisive and swift actions, able to use the unique combat potential of a Russian soldier and officer. That Russian diplomacy is not capable of resolving disputed issues with Tokyo amicably, delimiting the spheres of influence in China and Korea, making the Japanese friends and allies in the Pacific. That officials and the bourgeoisie are amazed at corruption and robbing the army (this was during the Crimean War and will be in the First World War). And for this collapse and theft, no one answered.

The war revealed a deep division in Russian society. The common people did not know at all what the country was fighting for, and the liberal intelligentsia openly wished their country defeat. Army betrayed at all. Even after a series of defeats and heavy losses, the Russian army was not defeated and intensified, and the Japanese army was on the verge of a military catastrophe. By the summer of 1905, Japan was exhausted, Russia was able to concentrate a powerful army in Manchuria, which was finally ready to launch a decisive offensive. It was possible to defeat the Japanese, return Port Arthur, generally throw the enemy out of China and Korea. Japan was on the verge of financial collapse, its military and demographic resources were exhausted, the Japanese would have to ask for peace. However, at a convenient moment in Russia, the revolution was provoked, the United States persistently offered mediation in the negotiations, and Russian politicians like Witte actively supported the peace initiative. Russia acknowledged defeat on the eve of its victory.

In general, the war with Japan was a warning that Russia could not be at war. Behind any adversary of Russia will be England and the USA, wishing to destroy Russia with someone else’s hands and take their resources into their hands. They skillfully set off the Russians and the Japanese, and then the Russians and Germans.

At the same time, Russia's external enemies have worked for decades to create a heterogeneous “fifth column” within Russia. They were all sorts of socialists, anarchists, nationalists, separatists, Liberal Democrats, Freemasons and other vermin. And the most dangerous were not the Bolsheviks, who were on the sidelines of political life, but high-ranking liberals, members of the Masonic lodges — grand dukes, generals, bankers, industrialists, Duma leaders, major publishers and journalists, lawyers, etc. the empire was overwhelmed by liberalism, gentleness and strange inaction. She did everything except her immediate responsibilities. Revolution 1905-1907's. became a test of the stability of the empire, its immunity.

A heroic attempt to keep the empire from collapse was made by Stolypin. But his policy partially collapsed, not having met the support of the authorities and the people, was partly designed for a long peaceful period of development, which the country did not have. In addition, he was killed, as Stolypin stubbornly stood for peace at any cost. World War I became the death sentence of the empire. All the best forces and resources were thrown to the front. The cadre army, which could give a hard rebuff to the revolutionaries, was killed in the battles. Almost in all spheres of life destabilization occurred, chaos began to grow. The Fifth Column was given the opportunity to prepare and carry out a coup d'etat in February 1917. Nicholas II was doomed, the sovereign and his family made ritual sacrifices that symbolized the death of Russia and the Russian people.

True, the enemies of the Russian people miscalculated. Russia and the Russian people were able to get out of this pit, albeit at the cost of millions of victims. It should be noted that the current situation in the Russian Federation has an obvious similarity with the late Russian Empire. The head of state Vladimir Putin (or his successor) must conduct the “Russification” of Russia, the “nationalization of the elite”, the new industrialization, regain the independence of the country's finances, prevent the country from being drawn into a big war in its initial period (it will have to participate in it one way or another) , complete the rearmament of the armed forces, etc. Otherwise, Russia will face another unrest.

      The question is probably not this, but that the Naglosaxon jackal tore and wrecked Russia into wars and is now ready at the first opportunity to bite us with its purulent and jawbones of others.
      Under no circumstances should one help the Naglosaxon empire and its henchmen, as Russia helped Britain, the Franks, or the recognition of the United States.

            And what, another event forgot ??
            Today is November 2, that day 293 years ago. Russia became an empire.

            On November 2, 1721, Peter I accepted the title of Peter the Great, Father of the Fatherland, Emperor of All Russia. From now on, Russia became an empire, which was evidence of its new role in international affairs. Immediately the new title of the Russian Tsar was recognized by Prussia and Holland, two years later - Sweden, and in subsequent years, other countries. In Russian historiography, Peter I is considered one of the most prominent statesmen who determined the direction of Russia's development in the 18th century.

          So helping the enemies of your enemies is the principle of politics. What's wrong? Did Prussia and the USA participate in the invasion of Crimea? And France participated - for which she ogrebla in 1871 from the Prussians, got her own and Austria, against which Russia was forced to keep the best parts on the western border.
          But the USA strongly supported Russia. Anyway, the relations between RI and the USA until 1917 (and after that too) were, if not allied, then extremely friendly.

        The Russian Empire was the largest debtor in the world: 8 billion 800 million rubles

        Multiply this by 1071.
        We get 9 424 800 000 000 (trillion) rubles at the modern rate.

        Most of this debt came from France.

          At the same time, I want to note that the foreign debt of the USSR by the year 92 amounted to $ 96,6 billion (even that money) and continued to grow rapidly!

            Especially for you I went to the "Single portal of the budgetary system" http://budget.gov.ru/

            RF budget revenues-- 9 439 600 000 000 at 1 September 2014
            Government debt RI --------- 9 424 800 000 000 at current prices in 1913 year.

            Thus, the government debt of Russia 100 years ago was equal to the revenues of our entire budget.


            Now about the USSR.

            The union budget for the 1991 year was 250 157 450 000 rubles. We translate this into dollars at prices of 1991 of the year (RUB-USD exchange rate of 0,67 rubles --- $ 1 for May 20 of 1991 of the year).

            250 157 450 000 x 0,67 = $ 167 605 491 500

            The budget of the USSR in the 1991 year ---- $ 167 605 491 500
            State debt of the USSR in 1991 year --- $ 96 600 000 000

            A lot, I do not argue. But it must be borne in mind that for reasons that are not completely understood, the debt under Gorbachev grew almost 2,5 times. hi

        The article is the highest rating. Everything is very correct.
        The Russian faith is especially well and correctly said.
        The death of the empire as a geopolitical catastrophe is expressed very precisely.
        "But he was very unlucky. Firstly, his father died suddenly, and Nicholas completely unexpectedly received the throne ahead of time. Secondly, the Romanov empire was in a deep crisis, and it had to be radically reformed, and this had to be done quickly, but without breaking (Stalin had to do everything extremely quickly to save civilization and the people.) Thirdly, it was during the reign of Nicholas II that the "world community" ("civilized West") sentenced Russia to partition.

Germany and Russia had to exhaust each other in a fierce struggle, and their resources would serve as the foundation of the New World Order.

        In general, Nicholas II was not lucky. He did not possess the iron will of Father Alexander III and great-grandfather Nicholas I to resist a sophisticated and insidious enemy, as well as the abilities and ruthlessness of Peter I in order to radically rebuild Russia. In order for it to withstand the world war and be able to win, come out renewed. And without a radical transformation, the old, Roman Russia could not survive.

        You are absolutely right. The author wrote an interesting article, used many reliable facts to explain what happened. Underestimated, however, the external influence on the development of events at the beginning of the twentieth century, namely, the Anglo-Saxons. It is rightly said that Russia lost such people as Stolypin and Rasputin at the most inopportune critical moment for the country. In the First World War provoked by the Anglo-Saxons, it was impossible to enter the moment they needed - England and France. The clear superiority of Germany would force the United States to enter the war and not make money on it, but to ruin its indoor army and huge funds. I am sure: if Peter Arkadyevich Stolypin would be at the head of the government, he would correctly determine the moment when Russia should say its word. Russia would become even stronger, the straits would be ours, and the Black Sea, in fact, would be an internal body of water ... There is no subjunctive mood in history, but it is not worth all the Grand Dukes, all aristocrats to be recorded as traitors and agents of Western influence. And many thanks to the author for mentioning a significant date!

      11 facts about Nicholas II that you do not know.
      1) Nicholas took the throne in the Crimea. There, in Livadia, the royal estate near Yalta, his father Alexander III died. Confused, literally crying from the responsibility that has fallen on him, the young man was how the future king then looked. Mother, Empress Maria Fyodorovna, did not want to swear allegiance to her son! The younger, Mikhail - this is whom she saw on the throne
      2) And since we were talking about Crimea - it was in Yalta that he dreamed of moving the capital from the unloved Petersburg. The sea, the fleet, trade, the proximity of European borders ... But he did not dare, of course.
      3) Nicholas II almost passed the throne to his eldest daughter Olga. In 1900 he became ill with typhus (again in Yalta, well, right the fateful city for the family of the last Russian emperor). The king was dying. Since the time of Paul I, the law has prescribed: the throne is inherited only through the male line. However, bypassing this order, we were talking about Olga, who was then 5 years old. The king, however, climbed out, recovered. But the idea of ​​arranging a coup in favor of Olga, and then marrying her to a suitable candidate, who will rule the country instead of the unpopular Nicholas - this idea long disturbed the royal relatives and pushed them into intrigues.
      4) It is rarely said that Nicholas II became the first global peacekeeper. In 1898, upon his submission, a note was issued on the general limitation of armaments and a program for an international peace conference was developed. It was held in May next year in The Hague. 20 European states, 4 Asian, 2 American participated. In the heads of the then advanced intelligentsia of Russia, this act of the tsar simply did not fit. How so, because he is a militarist and imperialist ?! Yes, the idea of ​​the prototype of the UN, of conferences on disarmament originated precisely in Nikolai’s head. And long before the World War.
      5) It was Nikolai who completed the Siberian railway. It is still the main artery connecting the country, but for some reason it is not customary to credit this king. Meanwhile, he ranked the Siberian railway as his main task. Nicholas generally foresaw many of the challenges that Russia then had to rake in the XNUMXth century. He spoke, for example, that the population of China is growing astronomically, and this is an occasion to strengthen and develop Siberian cities. (And this at a time when China was called sleeping).

      Nicholas' reforms (monetary, judicial, wine monopoly, working day law) are also rarely mentioned. It is believed that since the reforms were started in the previous reigns, then the merits of Nicholas II seem to be nothing special. The tsar "just" pulled this strap and complained that "he works like a convict." "Only" brought the country to that peak, in 1913, by which the economy will then be compared for a long time. He only approved the powers of two of the most famous reformers - Witte and Stolypin. So, 1913: the strongest gold ruble, income from the export of Vologda oil is higher than from the export of gold, Russia is the world flagship in the grain trade
      6) Nicholas was like two drops of water similar to his cousin, the future English king George V. Their mothers are sisters. "Nicky" and "Georgie" were confused even by relatives.
      7) Raised foster son and daughter. More precisely, the children of his uncle Pavel Alexandrovich - Dmitry and Maria. Their mother died in childbirth, his father quite soon entered into a new marriage (unequal), and in the end the two little grand dukes were personally raised by Nicholas, they called him “dad”, the empress - “mother”. Dmitry loved as his own son. (This is the same Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich, who then, together with Felix Yusupov, will kill Rasputin, for which he will be exiled, will survive during the revolution, will flee to Europe and even manage to have an affair with Coco Chanel there).

      8) I experienced the ammunition on myself. Checking the army suppliers - whether they put on rotten cloth - he put on his overcoat and full outfit of a private soldier and walked like that for 14 kilometers in the heat.
      9) Of all the wines, I liked Crimean port the most, but I knew when to stop. Although not without pleasure, he recorded in his diary: "I tried 6 sorts of port and slightly sprinkled it, which made me sleep well" (August 1906). The king smoked like a steam locomotive - one after the other.
      10) I could not stand female singing. He escaped when his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna, or some of her daughters or maids of honor sat down at the piano and started romances. The courtiers recall that at such moments the king complained: "Well, howled ..."

      11) I read a lot, especially contemporaries, wrote out a lot of magazines. Most loved Averchenko.

        To catch up ... Here's how to treat it? Three days "around" the famous events of January 9th. From Nikolai's diary:
        January 8th. Saturday. Clear frosty day. There were many cases and reports. Breakfast Fredericks. I walked for a long time. Since yesterday, all plants and factories have been on strike in St. Petersburg. From the vicinity, troops were called up to strengthen the garrison. Workers still behaved calmly. Their number is determined at 120000 people. At the head of the union is some kind of priest-socialist Gapon. Mirsky arrived in the evening with a report on the measures taken.
        January 9th. Sunday. Tough day! Serious disturbances occurred in St. Petersburg as a result of the workers' desire to reach the Winter Palace. The troops had to shoot in different places of the city, there were many killed and wounded. Lord, how painful and hard! Mom came to us from the city right to the mass. Had breakfast with everyone. Walked with Misha. Mom stayed with us for the night.
        January 10th. Monday. Today, there were no special incidents in the city. There were reports. Uncle Alexey had breakfast. Accepted the deputation of the Ural Cossacks, who came with caviar. Walked. We drank tea with Mom. To combine actions to end the unrest in St. Petersburg, he decided to appoint Gen.-m. Trepova, Governor General of the capital and province ...
        And so on.

        Well, how is that? The busiest day of all in the diary - up to 4 hours, was terribly tired ... And when the police brought workers to him, what did he tell them? You kind of riot against me and the government started? We will resort to military force, which will lead to casualties. I know that your life is hard, but you must honestly understand and be fair to your owners and reckon with their conditions. I believe that you are honest and loyal to me, so I forgive you your guilt.

        Here is such a guardian for the people. Hundreds of thousands are on strike in the streets, and he is walking.
        And in the days of the Tsushima battle? The notes sound something like this: information came about the death of almost the entire squadron. The day was wonderful, which added sadness even more. To escape, we walked, rode on horseback, in kayaks and boats, rode in Pavlovsk and Menagerie.
        The leader and master of the country must tear and throw in order to find a way out of the situation, and here ...

        Crush of people at the funeral of Stalin
        When Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet people and the world proletariat, died at his dacha in Kuntsevo on the morning of March 5, the whole country froze in anticipation. What will happen now? Who will replace genius? This is on the one hand. On the other hand, it was necessary to prepare such a funeral, which had not yet been arranged for any political figure in the world.
        For four days in the Soviet Union, nation-wide state mourning was declared. In fact, all departments, ministries, departments, factories, factories stopped working these days. Everyone was waiting for the main day - the funeral scheduled for March XNUMXth. For three consecutive days, a living multi-kilometer human river, meandering along the streets of Moscow, headed towards Pushkinskaya street (now Bolshaya Dmitrovka) and along it to the Column Hall of the House of Unions. What happened then? The city’s commandant’s office and the Ministry of State Security ordered that the Trubnaya Square be fenced off with military trucks, and a human Niagara surged from Sretenka from the descent, people were forced to crush each other, climb through houses and apartments, they died, there were cases when children died. It was like a crowd rushing to football or boxing. Those who had never seen Stalin alive wanted to see him even dead, but they never saw him. I did not see either ... People did not cry. Cried when they heard a message about the death of the leader, in the kitchens, on the streets. Here everything turned into a struggle for survival, into a struggle for life. People died, squeezed into this artificial square from trucks. How many people died in that stampede? We will never know about this. At that time, everything was done secretly, secretly. After a crush, the bodies of all the dead were thrown onto the same trucks and taken away in an unknown direction. It was hard to say whether there were more deaths than during the Khodynka disaster. But, most likely, there were much more than one and a half thousand. Millions wanted to participate in the funeral of their beloved leader.

            The point is precisely in the contradictions: most of these stories date back to the period of "debunking the cult of personality", and the beginning of their massive injection into the information space - the period of "perestroika", which in itself seems to hint.

            We don’t know what exactly and why then happened, we can’t even be absolutely sure that the shooting took place: among the whole history of the Bolsheviks, well-known enough, but, depending on the political situation, interpreted differently, the shooting of the Romanovs It remains a blank spot, and it is too early to draw conclusions on this issue.

            Killing a weak one is certainly terrible. But you do not take into account the psychological state of the people in the 18 year.
            Frenzied and fair hatred of the monarchy was the reason for the execution.

            Imagine. You are a worker at a winter factory of the beginning of the 20 century, say. About the fact that the chemical plants of that time were death factories-- I will not tell.

            There you work on 12 hours a day, sleep in the stinking cloaks where 5 people are still sleeping, dirty, sweaty, obsolete, sorry, but it's true, man. To say that the toilet in the 100 factories years ago was in most cases a garbage dump-- to say nothing. Some factories generally had only 1 points for a couple of thousand workers.




            And this worker, with the blessing of this, forgive the Lord, the emperor, who lived in these slop conditions, should think of divine patience, and think of Orthodox compassion? No.

            The revolutionary change of the elite is always with the destruction of the former. No other invented. Find out how the Romanov dynasty came to power. And how many millions of Russians she plagued the earth. The death of the last royal family is essentially a ritual murder not characteristic of Orthodoxy. But before that, it was necessary to change religion. From there, the civilian began. The New Power was driven in until the age of 41, when the people united by a common goal. And not the first time in its history.

            The Bolsheviks, Lenin and Stalin first heroically destroyed the country, then heroically restored at the cost of human blood. During the revolution, civil war, collectivization, repression, etc., the country lost more than 10 million people. Those. 10 million human lives for Lenin to be able to test his theoretical fabrications about building communism in a separate state. In 1914, Russia in all development parameters was in the top three developed countries of the world, after a revolution organized by the Bolsheviks, the country slipped below the first hundred countries. The country reached the level of development of the 14th year only at the end of the 50s. Those. Stalin and Co. threw the country back 30 years. Something like this.

          It remains to determine the level of Peter.
          1. As a result of a 20-year war, under the Nishtad Treaty, Peter left Karelia, Ingria, Estonia and Livonia for Russia. He returned to the defeated Sweden captured Finland and paid an indemnity of 2000000 yefimkov.
          2. Two wars with Turkey, the result is zero! (That is, the deaths of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers and huge material losses did not lead to anything)
          3. During the reign of Peter the population of Russia decreased by 25%.
          4. The economy is completely destroyed. (at the same time, a powerful military industry was created, which, as you know, does not increase the standard of living of the people)
          5. The administrative and economic structure is destroyed. Here it is enough to remind about Peter's organization of the administrative division into 8 provinces, according to the number of divisions of the Russian army, and the appointment of division chiefs responsible for collecting taxes on the territory of the province assigned to them. The taxes were collected by military teams. Their primary responsibility was to provide for the army. H'm. Well, where the money was flowing in reality, and what methods they were going to use one can only guess. Note: since 1712, civil servants have ceased to be paid salaries. As if "everything for the front". We understand what such movements lead to.
          6. The church continued to lose credibility, drunkenness and smoking were propagated, traditions and habits were broken, old laws were repealed and ... often new ones were not introduced.
          The people fled. To Turkey, to Siberia, to the far north, wherever, if only to be away from this diabolical power.

But if you grasped the essence of things and illuminated you with true knowledge of everything at once, then of course you should not bother your brain.

            I agree with you it is very interesting (without irony) But I do not want to waste time remembering to read how these comrades tore each other's throats for the power of the Soviets in the place with Koboi. If you made a historical mistake, then sorry. BUT I can definitely say that when the Empire collapsed, these comrades stuck a knife in the back of the state.

            Any state is oppression. Workers are obliged to fight even against the Soviet state - and at the same time take care of it, like the apple of an eye.

              No. Very sharply you narrow your perspective of the review of historical events. Understand that many events cannot be taken out of the context of the Big Game, and even more so to understand the logic of decision-making by its Players; with this approach, it is reduced to simple slogans. Moreover, now you can more or less have a non-black and white picture, although not very much in color - many documents are still under the stamp and may never be published. Believe not me - but a Stalinist diplomat whom Stalin recommended to practice English in America by attending services in churches in the USA. So Gromyko in his declining years said, and people of his circle, wider than his family, heard it - "If I told how it really was - the world would turn upside down."

After all, everyone knew about it, it was absolutely no secret that the girls from the family of Alice of Hesse are carriers of hemophilia for male descendants. What kind of heir and how did he want to give Russia, if such people did not live to 16, and his daughters were doomed to small marriages in order to calculate kinship with the tsar inside Russia, for which rulers would want poisoned children? How could you do this with your country? Or did he know that the last ruler of Russia?

          Let’s take not a nicholas, but any landowner and his children, let it be you, our sad merry fellow - Drummer and Gato. And so, your daddy inherited his daddy (your grandfather) not a frail household. Mill, fields, woods, a couple of villages with serfs, a candle factory with a soap factory. Fine? Fine! And your daddy, instead of multiplying your future inheritance, got married on some Eskimo, which in Russian is not a sissy. He brought with her her shaman, who sometimes sang her .. chanted. The farm abandoned. He appointed a thief manager, he started a lawsuit with the neighbors, who lost with a whistle and heavy losses. And then fumbling a long distance, he reposed. The bandits killed him with his Eskimo wife, for example. And now you go to the manager, come on, they say, our inheritance is quick. And he answers you, there is no inheritance, everything was pledged a long time ago, there are only one debts. And in general, the estate is now not yours, but those bandits that your dad banged.
          Really not very funny?
          But you laugh, laugh, and at the same time remember (or read, if you don’t know the story well) what happened to the empires, and especially to their population, after their sunsets. And yet, it is one thing to lose an empire in the struggle, fighting to the end, or to retreat before an illness, old age, and quite another - just to ... out of meanness, laziness, love of love, drunkenness.

    The author "began for health, and ended for the repose." This is a typical mistake of "sofa" amateur historians idealizing the so-called Russian people and the Orthodox faith of Ancient Russia and blaming the gradual "Westernization" of the country under the influence of various kinds of reformers for all subsequent troubles. I do not want to enter into polemics with the "Russophiles" here, but I have to say that Ancient Rus was still a "spider". There was no single Russian people, but there were tribes, clans, families that spoke different languages ​​and dialects and professed different versions of paganism. This is the first thing. Secondly, constant civil strife, it was possible to say the lifestyle of the "ancient Rus", which was very well used by our "neighbors". Thirdly, the so-called adoption of "Christianity" - which, in fact, was a unifying act for the nation, and it was from this that the creation of the nation began - it was still a violent act, which led to ethnic cleansing and genocide of those who disagreed, and it was with this and the so-called "split" in society began. But these "splits" were, then many, for various reasons, they are well described in the historical literature. "Westernization" is a necessary act for every nation, because nations and states do not exist in an "airless" space, but are surrounded by hostile peoples and are forced to defend their interests and fight for their existence. The "archaization" of a nation or a state is a road to a dead end, for once locked inside a nation begins to degrade culturally and technologically and becomes vulnerable to external enemies. Therefore, the task of the "elite" is to study everything that is interesting and new in the world - to recycle and implement in their country, moreover, on how smart and educated this elite is and how correctly these innovations will be tested for "internal" application and how they are correct will be implemented. The fact that in Russia "Westernization" went through the "ass" and with great costs, this is precisely what characterizes us-Russians, who live according to the proverb "Russians harness for a long time, but drive fast." "Westernization" is not an evil that led to "a split of the people, as the author of the article tries to present, but a necessary historical process of the development of any state, any nation, necessary for its survival (take, for example, Japan with its" Meiji revolution " ).

      Another thing is that "Westernization" should be carried out on time and gradually, and all state, political institutions, all layers of society should be "Westernized" - then there will be no catastrophic "distortion" in the life of all strata of society, there will be no "split" which the author writes. For example, "westernizing" political and state institutions and industry in Russia, slavery and serfdom were not abolished, which led to the subsequent inequality and split of society. If we take, for example, the current state of our society, then the "westernization" that is going on in our country has affected only the rich, and even then the rich "westernize" only their outer shell, their standard of living, but not their morality, exploiting their labor force and accumulating wealth in an Asian way without spending them on the development of the whole society. Also, the institutions of control and management are not "westernized" in our country - they remain "archaic" in many respects clan and "family" because of this, the systems that move the "Western" society - "career lifts", "social justice" , "economic incentives", etc. This is the reason for the growing split in society, and the growing social injustice. It is precisely "archaism" that is the main source of all troubles for us, that is, the inability to understand, correctly process for ourselves and competently apply the Western experience of the development of statehood, society, etc. we want "everything at once", "we rush from one extreme to another "instead of the gradual and systematic modernization of the state and society based on world experience. Well, if we talk about the ill-fated Nicholas II, then he is not an unhappy one - he is just a "d.u.r.a.k" who "scored" on his duties as a leader and gradually "closed" on his family, and did it at the most difficult moment for the state, which led to the disaster. I simply cannot read his "diary" without disgust, where he describes his feelings about the petty "problems" of his family and his entourage, how he spends time playing cards, walking and traveling with dear Alex, church rituals, shooting crows in park, how he tries to avoid receiving military officers who have come from the front for an audience as they "smell bad" and makes them ventilate the premises after them and all this while his country is bleeding to death on the fronts of the First World War.

    Quite often, they are replaced by the backwardness of the state, society and the inability to reform them in any particular way, such as the state, culture as a certain messiah, it is not known what. And this is the road to nowhere, or rather for the state, the path to its collapse. New technologies of production and trade are constantly appearing in the world, following them or with them new relations of society, hence the structure of the state / states. And the number of skimming cream is limited, these are the very first ones, the rest are to varying degrees of loss. We must work, we must catch up, but it is better to keep up, and even better to overtake. Russia was almost always lagging behind, at best catching up. It seems that looking for one's own, special path in conditions of technological lag is a path to backwardness, ultimately to the death of the state. You can’t break the connection with the leaders.

    The author adjusts the facts to his theory. The usual manipulation.
    Peter the Great - did away with bad seven-boyars, (like building a power vertical). the problem is that a dream could solve the issue with a successor. And Nikolai the bloody liberal. (Oligarchy, a thought, she’s a hut talking room), moreover, a mediocre commander. Good!!!
    And with a split simplified to impossible. The rituals unified, that in Serbia, that in Bulgaria, that in Voronezh, the services are the same. Orthodoxy became the foundation of the Russian world. Which everyone is talking about now. For example, the Balkan wars (the author of the staple mention), hence the legs. In addition, united Orthodoxy opposed Uniatism.
    Another thing is how it was all done. Fanatically and ruthlessly. So maybe it's because the national character and way of life with us is like that.

Unfortunately, to understand the article, one must have knowledge of history in a volume that is much higher than average, and not only history. Otherwise, we get the existing flurry of responses from "specialists" who, for example, do not even know the succession to the throne in the Russian Empire.

      For reference, it’s a well-known fact that many monasteries from time immemorial have led and are now conducting various subsistence farming, including and raise livestock. Usually help workers, novices and local residents (both for a fee and volunteers). They slaughter cattle, and the monastery sells products in the region. So there is nothing unusual in the hooks from the article. hi

    The author of the article chose a topic that is quite relevant for modern Russia. The people need to show the true truth of that time, but the author failed to develop the topic in a sufficiently broad and deep sense. There are a great many such articles, but those who came from a scientific perspective to the Orthodox faith should illuminate the reign of the holy Tsar-martyr. At least, the vision of the historical movement of Russia then becomes more complete.

    The author forgot to say that both Peter I and Nicholas I relied on the Russian people, and not on the "enlightened intelligentsia" oriented towards the West. Fundamental changes in the country became possible thanks to the support of the broad popular masses. And Stalin relied primarily on the people, despising Mr. but the nation. The current situation in the country, unfortunately, is really similar to the situation in the reign of Nicholas II. In the same way, as in his time, the priority is given to the so-called "elite", which, not only is not such, and causes disgust among ordinary citizens of the country, but also constantly harms, because by the will of fate controls the cash flows from the sale of useful fossil and other industries, without investing anything either in industry, or in education, or in science, without which Russia cannot exist. The "elite" is terribly afraid of the people, despises them, because they have lost all connections with them and are engaged in verbiage and already undisguised deception from TV screens. This means that the Constitution must be changed, a large-scale reform of public administration, and first of all the government, as a bright "representative body" of the modern Russian "elite" must be carried out.

    Anyone who interferes with the dirt of Tsar Nicholas 2 has no faith in the future!
    For the last emperor is a kind of historical “test” of loyalty to the Russian people in modern realities.
    Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. faced a “hybrid” war using a massive attack on everything Russian, on all the spiritual bonds of the state. As well as systematic (and not at all spontaneous protest!) terrorist and ideological pressure from the bureaucratic machine of the empire.
    In these conditions...the role of the individual...even the king...is minimal.
    The challenge was to the entire society. However, the tsar “repelled” the 1st attack in 1905 and showed the supporters of “crazy” progress that the monarch was “weak” only in “periodicals”.
    Who is muddying the waters by casting a shadow on the last Russian emperor?
    6th column!
    Because this column, using its ally... the 5th column, wants power in the country and new crazy experiments. And so yes... the 5th column acts as a punching bag for the so-called 6th. A kind of sparring for scoring political points.

    Of the Romanovs, only Peter and Catherine are considered Great. I won’t argue. In my humble opinion, all their “greatness” consisted in the ability to select personnel (Comrade Stalin also knew how). Peter had Menshikov, Apraksin, Tolstoy, Demidov, etc. yes, they were scammers, embezzlers, bribe-takers, but they did their job well, because they were patriots of Russia, and they supported Russia. Catherine also knew who to nominate. Only Potemkin (and his “protégé” Suvorov and Ushakov) was worth it, but there were also the Orlovs and many others. And they were certainly patriots of Russia. Naturally, they didn’t forget themselves, well, who without sin? There is a main result. Peter brought Russia to Europe, simultaneously making it an empire. Catherine, from a formal one, actually turned her into a Great Power that had to be reckoned with.
    What guided Nikolai in his personnel policy is a mystery to me. Here you have Stolypin and Witte-Polusakhalinsky, and Sukhomlinov, and Kuropatkin, and Alekseev, and Essen, and Shullgin, and the eternal leapfrog with the prime ministers, and then with the State Duma. And for complete happiness Badmaev, Rasputin, Bezobrazov. There is a feeling that all these appointments were made at random, there was no general logic in the appointments. Hence the lack of a fundamental course, both in foreign affairs and in domestic ones. We are friends with the Kaiser, then with the French, Now we convene the Duma, now we disperse them, now we shoot and hang revolutionaries, now we grant amnesty. Where is the logic here? It is no coincidence that most often contemporaries characterize Nicholas as weak-willed. So, apparently, this was the case, and the august family, the government, and the entourage he chose for himself were treated as a monarch as they wanted. As a result, abdication, i.e. betrayal of his people. And no one can prove to me that a man who decided to withdraw himself in the most difficult hour for his country was a patriot. And since he himself was not, then he had the same assistants (with rare exceptions). That is why the people very quickly abandoned him. He did not forgive the betrayal. And he did the right thing.

    Absolutely true, however, the heir to the throne has a slightly broader education than you and I, so if you feel that you can’t handle it, refuse. No one will force a crown on you. And Nikolai Alexandrovich knew that he was not suitable for the position of tsar, he himself wrote this, nevertheless he climbed onto the throne, in the hope that perhaps he would bring it.

      “Don’t run into houses, don’t show mercy to those asking for mercy, don’t kill unarmed people, don’t fight with women, don’t touch young children.”

    I read the memoirs of a military leader. Unfortunately, I forgot my last name. There are memoirs of one Cossack during World War I "It's easier to hack a man to death than an icon. The fear of God is stronger than anything..." People then feared God. Dear forum users, maybe there is no need to chop down icons...

    What happened in 1917?
    Nuclear weapons were used against Russia... called Revolution!
    Could ONE! people to prevent this? Become a kind of air defense triumph?
    This is despite the fact that loyal supporters of the monarchy were destroyed. Stolypin was killed. Many officials fell victim to terror.
    The monarch is the image around which the healthy forces of society are grouped.
    Was Stolypin's choice accidental? Tsar? NO!
    Conclusion - the king did an excellent job with the appointment and selection of personnel. FACT!
    The personnel only immediately became targets...
    The situation that Nikolai 2 faced was, in principle, unsolvable.
    For they fought with enemies on the principles of honor. And the enemy did not care about honor.
    It all starts with ideology, ideas. Russian intellectual thought before 1917. for me g.o...oono. Because it didn’t give the main answer - what the Russian people are. And how it differs from others. And most importantly, what is the goal.
    And monarchs, armies, guns, shells... secondary bully

      Well said, I also read a lot of memoirs of contemporaries of those years, the tsar appointed skillfully, which is the main characteristic for the tsar, because we understand that Catherine 2 was not the only one who increased the power of Russia.

    It has long been known that Nicholas II was unsuitable as a ruler. But pearls like - “At the same time, the best part of the people (up to a quarter of the population) went into a “schism”, forming their own, “parallel” Russia. The Old Believers retained the Russian faith, spiritual and physical sobriety, honesty and perseverance.” - outright lie. The Old Believers who went abroad became loyal citizens of these countries and actively participated in the wars against Russia. Latvian Old Believers, in particular, fought as part of the Waffen SS. Even the future leader of the Riga Grebenshchikov community (leading in Latvia) fought in the 1944th Latvian Grenadier Division of the Waffen SS since 19. Muddy article. Losers and opponents of Russia are glorified, and the pride of our history is reviled.

    that the impudent Saxony jackal vomited and poisoned Russia in wars


    The Russian Empire was the largest debtor in the world: 8 billion 800 million rubles

    Multiply this by 1071.
    We get 9 424 800 000 000 (trillion) rubles at the modern rate.

    Most of this debt came from France.

    For brotherly Serbia, you say, fought?

    You write how much the USSR owed at the time of collapse! And also how many Russian people died as a result of the revolution and how many we will now miss as a result. Before looking for specks in the eyes of Nicholas II, take the logs out of your eyes. It is also necessary to take into account that the Soviet Union of our memory is not the USSR of Lenin, Trotsky and all this shantrap. To become what we remember, the Russians paid tens of millions of their lives. I think that if your ancestors belonged to the category of those destroyed, you would now speak differently! From the stories of my great-grandmother, I know how they wanted to dispossess my great-grandfather because he plowed from dawn to dusk and added a handful of flour to quinoa during hunger! Only his death from anxiety saved the family from dispossession and deportation. And you want all this to be forgotten?

    Eh... You can remember both the good and the bad...
    But for me - Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich 2nd is the commander-in-chief of the army, which 100 years ago did “things”. And it’s a pity that this glorious page of our history with meat was torn out by the Bolsheviks.

    In general, Nicholas II was unlucky

    This Russia was not lucky with him, he was poking around in the garden, but he was born the heir to the throne.

    Yes, you should go there, you are...! But seriously, don't touch the emperor with your dirty little hands! You are not worth his nails!

    It was Nicholas II who was responsible for the collapse of the Russian Empire. Even if he is a “good” person, even if he is a martyr and a saint, it is he who is guilty of the death of all Russians and not only people because of his cowardice. As a ruler, he is a complete nonentity and a coward.

    So what? maybe Bagration is not a Russian general? de Tolly? and thousands of others ???? and note, this is what I say, a Russian nationalist (not to be confused by the Jewish Nazis-Potkin and company)


    Two were named. Give at least the first hundred names out of the thousand you suggested. So, ordinary generals. And what? laughing We are somehow closer to the Golenishchevs-Kutuzovs, and the Suvorovs with the Makarovs and Zhukovs.

    But I’m wondering, do the Germans also write like that about Wilhelm II? But you can also say about him that “Willy is about ... the empire.” It’s just that the Germans don’t notice any snot about this. There was anger over the lost war, yes. There was also a desire to rebuild everything again. But there was no such thing as blaming your sovereign as Mr. Maybe we should just start with ourselves? Otherwise everyone around is to blame. Nikolai is to blame, he was weak. And the fact that everything is together about oath forgot - so it doesn’t matter. It’s the same with the USSR. Who is guilty? Gorby is evil. And the fact that the whole country (almost) craved jeans and chewing gum and a Japanese tape recorder was also forgotten. And who came to the defense of Yeltsin, who collapsed the USSR? Aren't the Russian people simple?
    We are all bitter and offended that first the great empire was lost, then its continuation, the even greater Soviet Union. But maybe stop looking for “fools, enemies and traitors” and just start working on yourself and your country?

    - It seems that there were two views on the role of the individual in history:
    -1. History brings forward personalities according to the moment.
    -2. Personalities “move” history.
    - According to the first option, it seems that the last Emperor is not guilty - you can’t go against the flow of History... and according to the second, Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov was not weak, oh, not weak... smile

    Stalin had to do everything extremely quickly in order to save civilization and the people.
    the author confused something, he didn’t save anyone, he saved himself ............
