Entitled People Being Aggressive Towards Non-English Native Viewers
Some people online act as if debating is only for native English speakers, and anyone else “lacks understanding.” The arrogance is astonishing.
What they forget is simple: being born in an English-speaking country is pure luck, not achievement. They should be thankful to their families and their nation for giving them an easier platform.
Because if they had to survive in a third-world country — where 80% of people deal daily with poverty, unstable power, lack of clean water, corruption, and limited education — they wouldn’t last a single day. What others endure as normal life would be brutal for them.
Before mocking non-native speakers, maybe try respecting the effort it takes to debate, argue, and think critically in a second language. That resilience is something to admire, not ridicule.

The Tsar’s Disregard for Human Life: An Analysis of Nicholas II’s Rule
Although there is no specific quote such as "life is the Tsar's currency" to describe the value placed on human life during Tsarist rule, many historians have expressed similar sentiments. Tsar Nicholas II's regime is widely criticized for treating human life as expendable, especially in terms of soldiers and civilians, who were seen as mere tools in the empire's expansion and the maintenance of his autocratic power.
Under Nicholas II’s rule, Russia was involved in several disastrous conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. In these wars, tens of thousands of Russian soldiers were sent to the frontlines with little preparation, inadequate equipment, and without a coherent military strategy. For example, during World War I, Russian troops suffered catastrophic losses, with many historians describing the battlefield as a “meat grinder,” where soldiers were sacrificed in massive numbers for little to no military gain. This idea of treating soldiers as expendable closely mirrors the notion that “life was the Tsar’s currency,” as Nicholas II continued to push forward in conflicts with no regard for the human cost.
Additionally, the suffering of Russian peasants and the lower classes under Tsarist rule further reinforces this view. During Nicholas II’s reign, peasants lived in extreme poverty, and the Tsar’s regime did nothing to alleviate their suffering. These people were often seen as nothing more than cogs in the imperial machine, to be sacrificed for the interests of the state. Many historians and revolutionary thinkers of the time criticized the regime for treating the Russian people as dispensable, further emphasizing the Tsar’s disregard for life.
The Human Cost of Nicholas II’s Rule
The brutal wars and repressive policies of Nicholas II’s regime caused enormous suffering and loss of life, both within Russia and in the countries affected by his expansionist ambitions.
1. Russia:
Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905): In this war, approximately 130,000 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded. The military defeat not only weakened Russia’s imperial standing but also fueled revolutionary sentiment at home, as the war exposed the incompetence of Nicholas II’s leadership.
World War I (1914-1918): Russian casualties were staggering, with estimates of 1.8 million soldiers killed and 4.95 million wounded. The massive loss of life severely weakened Russian society, leading to strikes, famine, and ultimately the February Revolution of 1917, which resulted in the collapse of the Tsar’s regime.
Famine of 1891-1892: Poor governance during this famine, which affected millions of peasants, contributed to the deaths of 400,000 to 500,000 people. Nicholas II’s failure to respond adequately to the famine further fueled discontent among the population.
2. Japan:
During the Russo-Japanese War, the conflict resulted in the deaths of approximately 85,000 Japanese soldiers. Nicholas II’s decision to engage in this war was based on imperial ambitions in East Asia, but it ended in a humiliating defeat for Russia, leaving a trail of death and destruction on both sides.
3. Germany:
In World War I, Russian aggression and participation led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of German soldiers. The Eastern Front was a battleground of immense casualties, with both Russian and German forces suffering heavily in bloody, attritional warfare.
4. China:
During Russian expansion into Manchuria, especially during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, Russian forces were responsible for massacres in regions such as Blagoveshchensk, where an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 Chinese civilians were killed. These actions were part of Russia’s imperialist ambitions to dominate northeastern China.
5. Poland and Ukraine:
Under Nicholas II, both Poland and Ukraine suffered from oppressive Tsarist rule, with mass repression of nationalist movements and brutal crackdowns on any form of resistance. Ukrainian and Polish communities faced heavy persecution, with countless lives lost in the Tsarist campaigns to suppress dissent and maintain Russian dominance over these regions.
Conclusion
The human cost of Nicholas II’s rule was immense, both for Russia and for the countries affected by his imperialist ambitions. His leadership led to the deaths of millions, including soldiers and civilians, who were treated as expendable resources in his pursuit of power. The wars and repressive policies of his regime not only weakened the Russian Empire but also caused suffering in neighboring countries like China, Japan, Poland, and Ukraine.
Personal Viewpoint:
Frankly, I find it difficult to understand how anyone can glorify such a brutal, feudal, and autocratic ruler who treated human lives with such disregard. Some people may consider Nicholas II a martyr who died for his faith, but to me, that is a complete detachment from historical reality. He was responsible for horrific atrocities, both domestically and abroad, and to ignore the weight of these facts is to live in a fantasy. In comparison to his crimes, I believe Nicholas II’s fate was already lenient. At the very least, he wasn’t subjected to a public trial in front of the millions he oppressed. He met his end with relative dignity, which is far more than he afforded his countless victims.

A Study on the Crimes of Tsar Nicholas II
Tsar Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia, is remembered for his role in the collapse of the Russian Empire and the tremendous suffering that befell both the Russian people and the people in the territories under his control. His reign was marked by violent colonial policies, disastrous military decisions, and a stubborn refusal to embrace reform. This study will examine his major crimes, including brutal colonial rule in Manchuria, oppression of Russian peasants, catastrophic involvement in wars, and his racist views that fueled violence and persecution, particularly against Jews and non-Europeans.
1. Brutal Colonial Rule in Manchuria
Under Nicholas II, Russia’s expansion into Manchuria (northeastern China) was accompanied by severe colonial repression. Through the 1896 Sino-Russian Treaty, Russia gained the right to construct the Chinese Eastern Railway, effectively securing control over the region. The Russian military presence in Manchuria was brutal, and atrocities committed by Russian forces led to mass suffering among the Chinese population.
One of the most notorious examples of Russian brutality occurred during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, when Russian troops participated in widespread massacres and ethnic cleansing in Manchuria. In areas like Blagoveshchensk, Russian forces killed an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 Chinese civilians by driving them into the Amur River. These massacres were part of Russia’s violent efforts to maintain its control over the region and assert dominance.
Nicholas II's colonial ambitions, driven by imperialism and the belief in Russian superiority, left a legacy of violence and death in territories like Manchuria. His policies contributed directly to the deaths of thousands of civilians during this period of expansion.
2. Indifference to the Suffering of Russian Peasants
Nicholas II’s domestic policies toward Russian peasants were marked by indifference and cruelty. Although serfdom had been formally abolished in 1861 under his grandfather Alexander II, most peasants continued to live in dire poverty, saddled with debts and exploited by landowners. Nicholas II failed to address the dire conditions of the peasantry, and his refusal to implement meaningful land reforms exacerbated the suffering of millions.
The infamous famine of 1891–1892, which affected millions of Russians, could have been mitigated by effective government action, but Nicholas and his administration were slow to respond. By some estimates, the famine led to the deaths of 400,000 to 500,000 people, a tragic reminder of his government's failure to provide for its people. This disaster fueled discontent among the peasants, contributing to the broader revolutionary movement that eventually overthrew the monarchy.
3. Disastrous Wars and Enormous Casualties
One of Nicholas II’s most egregious errors was his involvement in a series of disastrous wars that caused massive casualties for Russia and revealed the incompetence of his leadership. The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) was a catastrophic defeat for Russia, with approximately 130,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded. Nicholas II’s military was unprepared, and the war resulted in both territorial losses and a blow to Russian prestige. The war also sparked widespread unrest, which led directly to the 1905 Revolution.
More disastrously, Nicholas II involved Russia in World War I in 1914. Despite Russia’s economic and military weaknesses, Nicholas pursued war with little consideration for its consequences. Over the course of the war, Russian casualties were staggering, with estimates of 1.8 million soldiers killed and 4.95 million wounded. Russia’s economy collapsed under the strain of war, leading to food shortages, strikes, and mass desertions. Nicholas’ inability to manage the war effort contributed directly to the February Revolution of 1917 and his subsequent abdication.
4. Racist Views and Policies
Nicholas II held deeply racist views, which he expressed publicly and through his policies. He believed in the superiority of the Russian and European races and saw other ethnic groups, particularly Jews and Asians, as inferior. This belief shaped his approach to governance and his treatment of minorities within the Russian Empire.
In private letters, Nicholas referred to the Japanese as “monkeys” and “savages,” reflecting his belief in the racial superiority of Europeans over Asians. This sense of racial superiority underpinned his colonial ambitions in Manchuria and other parts of Asia.
Nicholas was also a staunch anti-Semite, and his reign saw a continuation of state-sponsored persecution against Jews. Pogroms—violent attacks against Jewish communities—were common, and Nicholas not only tolerated them but also encouraged anti-Semitic rhetoric. The most infamous example was the Kishinev Pogrom of 1903, in which over 49 Jews were killed, hundreds were injured, and thousands were left homeless. Nicholas II’s government did little to prevent these attacks, and his anti-Semitic policies forced many Jews to flee Russia.
Additionally, Nicholas was a strong supporter of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fabricated document used to promote the idea of a Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. This document fueled widespread anti-Semitic sentiment throughout Europe and contributed to further violence against Jews under his reign.
5. Repeated Missed Opportunities for Reform
Nicholas II’s unwillingness to implement meaningful reforms was another key aspect of his failure as a leader. After the 1905 Revolution, he was forced to grant some concessions, including the creation of the Duma (parliament), but he quickly undermined these reforms by curbing the Duma’s powers. He was determined to maintain autocratic control, despite growing demands for constitutional reform and greater political freedom.
Even as the country descended into chaos during World War I, Nicholas refused to consider changes that might have alleviated some of the suffering and instability. His rigid stance alienated both the elite and the masses, ultimately paving the way for the revolutions of 1917. By refusing to relinquish autocratic power or adapt to the changing political landscape, Nicholas II sealed his own fate and that of the Romanov dynasty.
Personal Opinion
Frankly, I find it difficult to understand how anyone can glorify such a brutal, feudal, and autocratic ruler who treated human lives with such disregard. Some people may consider Nicholas II a martyr who died for his faith, but to me, that is a complete detachment from historical reality. He was responsible for horrific atrocities, both domestically and abroad, and to ignore the weight of these facts is to live in a fantasy. In comparison to his crimes, I believe Nicholas II’s fate was already lenient. At the very least, he wasn’t subjected to a public trial in front of the millions he oppressed and killed. He met his end with relative dignity, which is far more than he afforded his countless victims.
