Tsar/Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, AS PERSONALITY AND AS FATHER, after many yeas passed on reading about him, i think he was one of the best Monarchs in History.
I like to think that if Tankies existed in World War I, they would cheer Tsar Nicholas II as a bastion of anti-imperialism against German aggression, before wailing and gnashing their teeth when the March Revolution happened, and then violently opposing Lenin for being an "imperialist puppet"

Hi Russianhistory reddit. Me again. And thanks for supporting my last video ('Most Deaths in WW2').
In this week's 'Top 50 Things Learned in Modern Grand Tour' (50 educational segments from my educational travel vlog that focuses on history and culture), we're at No.38 and examining the brutal death of Tsar Nicholas II and the Romanov family.
THE VLOG SEGMENT (2min18secs): https://youtu.be/1PQlthTimnY
And here's a timeline (not focused upon in the video), which I find interesting as it show that the October Revolution did not lead straight away to the USSR (which previously I had assumed). There was the brutal Russian Civil War to get through.
- October 1917: October Revolution (Lenin takes power) and Russian Civil War immediately begins.
- July 1918: Tsar Nicholas II and family executed, allegedly on the orders of Lenin.
- October 1922: Russian Civil War ends. Lenin's Communists win.
- December 1922: USSR officially created.
Also, at the end of the video, I touch on the complexity of Russian history. If there are any Russian people here, it would be interesting to know how you, and your friends, view today's Russian patriots of Tsar Nicholas II and Lenin given the fact that it was Lenin who supposedly ordered the murder of Tsar Nicholas. To what extent is it possible to be supportive of both men (baring in mind, of course, they are ideologically opposed and, I'm guessing, they would have hated each other).
