It always amazes me just how much Nicholas and George looked, they looked like they could be brothers

4:43 in case you're wondering, the Tsar was 5'7"(1.7m) tall and the Grand Duke was 6'6"(1.98m).

I think one of his main problem's was he really was not interested in being Tsar, he really just wanted to be with his family. He felt, I think , he had no other choice and was really not ready for the pressure that came with it.
I have visited the Peter and Paul fortress in Russia where he and his family rest, it is really quite moving.

I read the Robert K. Massie biography of the tsar last year. His grandfather was actually quite the reformer, in fact, so his assassins screwed up big time by killing him.

0:57 strange, Alexander II was Tsar for 126 years.

The Royal family of Russia would've escaped the Bolsheviks if the King of England hadn't turned his back on his cousin the Czar.

Just an FYI, Rasputin didn't just dismiss ministers 'willy nilly'. He did it so he could then sell those positions to other people.

As Winston Churchill was the right man at the right time and place, Nicholas II was the wrong man at the wrong time and place.

My maternal grandparents escaped from Russia in 1904. I cannot remember my grandmother ever saying the word "Russia", without immediately spitting afterwards.

Nicholas II would have better suited as a constitutional monarch.

I'd like to add to your notes about why Nikolai's father didn't educate Nikolai far better. He never thought Nikolai would amount to anything. Unlike his father and grandfather, who were these big imposing men who intimidated, Nikolai was far smaller, soft spoken and introverted. He was easily cowed and overwhelmed as well (not helped by his father) and he was left unready and unprepared.
Ordinary people living in extraordinary times indeed.

As much as he was a product of his time, one of the things that baffles me the most about the Tsar was that during the revolution in February 1905, the workers were marching with holy images of the Tsar himself over their heads, believing that he was just unaware of their situation due to corrupt government officials. The tsar himself was popular and thought to be a good man, the protesters singing hymns to his praise even.
And still it ends with a massacre.

Can we get a special on the February and October revolutions? Here in the USA we don't hear much about Russia until World War 2 and I haven't got a clue where good sources would be on the subject :(

The influence of Rasputin in the downfall of Imperial Russia cannot be underestimated. His ridiculous advice is at least on a par with Nicholas's administrative ineptitude in the downfall of Imperial Russia. Though I am critical of Nicholas, he cannot be blamed for gifts (talents) and education he did not have, but rather it is the system that was at fault. I am also greatly saddened that it could not have been different, and especially am saddened by Lenin's treatment of the Imperial family, and that it was atheist communism that replaced Russian imperialism, which aptly illustrates the adage, "Out of the frying pan into the fire."

you really helped me understand so much that applies to my Nicholas II essay due tomarrow, thank you man it helps more than you know
|
His biggest issue was his reluctance to give any power to the Duma (Parliament). Most representatives at the time did not want to remove the monarchy, instead they wanted a system closer to that of Britain. Instead of reforming however, Nicholas paved the way for the Bolshevik takeover.

Incompetence seems to be a universal problem during this point in time.
