Hemophilia And Early 1900's

The last Tsar Nicholas II ascended the throne in 1894 and was faced with a country that was trying to free itself from its autocratic regime. The serfs had recently been emancipated, the industry and economy was just starting to develop and opposition to the Tsar was building up. Russia was still behind Europe in terms of the political regime, the social conditions and the economy. Nicholas II who was a weak and very influenced by his mother and his wife had to deal with Russia’s troubles during his reign. In order to ascertain how successfully Russia dealt with its problems by 1914, this essay will examine the October Manifesto and the split of the opposition, how the Tsar became more reactionary after the 1905 revolution, Stolypin’s

However, Nicholas’s personality was not the sole reason why the Old Regime collapsed. Chubarov argues that “another Peter the Great could have saved the Romanovs and Imperial Russia. It is obvious though that the last tsar could not” . Nicholas’s lack of

Within a few days in February 1917, Tsarist Russia came to an end. The Romanov family, who had ruled Russia since the 17th century, were overthrown and the monarchy crumbled. Traditional historian Bernard Pares argues that incompetent ministers and weaknesses of Nicholas II is to blame. While traditionalist historian Edmund Walsh blames the incompetence of the Tsarina and her mysticism beliefs. There are however many factors contributing to the Russian revolution of February 1917, such as: World War 1, political and economic failures. Therefore this essay will consider the impact of each factor in order to assess whether the winter of 1916-17 was the final straw for the people of Russia.

The book also shows how well was Holland and the rest of western Europe were more civilized and more modernized than it was in Russia, and also n this book it explains that if it wasn’t for Peter the great, Russia wouldn’t be modernized by it self as some of the Russian civilians would say.

“I pity the Tsar. I pity Russia. He is a poor and unhappy sovereign…He is obviously a good and quite intelligent man, but he lacks will power, and it is from that character that his state defects developed, that is, his

The book The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candace Fleming is an eye opening biography about one of Russia's most famous families. Since 1613, the Romanov family had ruled Russia, and were the last imperial dynasty to ever take the throne. Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra had five children, consisting of only one eligible heir to Russia. The author's purpose of writing this book was to explain the downfall of one Russia’s most important families. Candace Fleming wrote the book to give insight and share her knowledge on how the Romanov family witnessed and committed horrible acts of violence and stupidity which ultimately lead to their murders.

The beginning of the 20th century brought radical changes to the social and political structure of autocratic Russia. It was a period of regression, reform, revolution and eradication. Eradication of a blood line that had remained in rule for over 300 years; the Romanov Dynasty. The central figure of this eradication was Tsar Nicholas II, often described as an incompetent leader, absent of the “commanding personality nor the strong character and prompt decision which are so essential to an autocratic ruler...” (Sir G. Buchman, British ambassador to Russia from 1910 in H. Seton-Watson, The

Besides my personal struggles in assimilating and divulging myself into Russian culture, I also took part in many conversations with my dear Nicholas, consisting of him mostly explaining new policies and advances, and me listening in admiration of my husband’s intelligence and pride for his country and his people. I remember him explaining his new installment of railroads and graciously providing money to local business, as a way to level out the Motherland with the other Western countries so that our citizens and the people of the world can look upon Russia with pride and envy of it development. Even then, however, I knew that there was still turmoil in my dear country, Russia was still behind in industrialization and many had began to question the rule and decisions of your father. Nevertheless, I believed that as long as the autocracy remained intact and with my husband, Nicholas II, leading it, Russia would prosper and all would be merry. If only I could have known just how wrong, I

Almost everyone knows the story of Russian Princess Anastasia Romanov, but not everyone knows about her father, Tsar Nicholas II, and his role in his family’s banishment and death. The last Tsar of Russia was forced to abdicate his throne by the Russian people who wanted change, like how he is allegorized by Mr. Jones in George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

In the year 1917, the war torn Russian Empire was falling to pieces, its people ravaged by war and stricken by famine, all while the royal family enjoyed the high pleasures of life. Russia’s people could no longer withstand it, so they revolted against the Russian Czar and his government alongside the Bolsheviks, who would take the Czar and his family hostage (Earle). These events occurred nearly one hundred years ago, when the Russian Czar Nicholas the II and his family were killed by revolutionists after being dethroned and held captive for over a year. The assassination of Czar Nicholas the II of Russia was just because he was an ineffective military leader, who persecuted certain groups of people, and chose the worse possible scenarios

Here, Rasputin steered towards the belief that the path to salvation lay through repentance, where one couldn’t repent, unless they had sinned, in order to get closer to God. This ideology invoked Rasputin’s sexual escapades and immoral conducts- a “voracious sexual appetite”, in which he “had a talent for getting under the ladies’ petticoats [while whispering to them] “you think I am polluting you, but I am not. I am purifying you” . Through Rasputin’s “superhuman thirst for alcohol” , and added sexually driven “intense grey eyes” , it was rumoured that “the tsarina had wild orgies with him”, and that he had captured her in his grasp. Although Rasputin appeared a pious and saintly holy man in front of the Royal couple, others saw him as a sex-craved peasant - “a dark force that was corrupting Mother Russia”, “who in the eyes of Lynch, a revisionist historian, who focuses of the role of people, was a ‘fatal disease’ inflicting damage to the Tsarist regime” - the last imperial dynasty to rule Russia since 1613 to 1917. Rasputin later through a revelation, claimed, that the Russian Army would fail in the First World War, unless the Tsar took control- a mistake which caused the downfall of the Russian

Rasputin was an imperative figure in the Russian Revolution. His acclaimed mystical forces helped decrease the indications of poor Alexei's hemophilia, a dreadful condition in which the blood doesn't clump. Since Alexei was the beneficiary to the Romanof throne, Tsar Nicholas II and Alexandra were in a distressing circumstance. They gave Rasputin certain powers that individuals were desirous of.

All in all, it can best be concluded that my job is to “satisfy the government’s demands, the demands of the writer, and the demands of my own inner feelings” (Jacobson, p. 45). Therefore, by publishing this literary piece during this flourishing age of literature, I am not only appeasing the governments wishes to halt social unrest, but I am simultaneous pleasing both the writers, their audience, and myself. I must admit that why I am not an insurgent, I do seek to develop Russia. I want to help unify the country, and by establishing a veneer of openness between the Tsar and his people is the first step to accomplishing a stable Empire. Although it may seem counter-intuitive, our last Tsar, Nicholas I was seen as a despot towards the people because he believed in the holy trinity: the autocracy, Orthodoxy, and Russianness. In these new times, it is critical for the current Tsar to avoid this
