The Country was ecstatic when the Tsar made the announcement that Russia was going to fight against Germany in WWI. Because of this, the concept of revolution became forgotten by many. In fact, the Tsar gained more followers as they regarded Germany as a great threat to the country. Never less, WWII exposed how inadequately Russia had been prepared for the war and how inadequate Nicholas II was to rule
As good as the images from the Western Christianity are mostly not defined as the "icons", even though "iconic" could be used to define a static style of devotional image.Mary, saints, angels, or the cross. Icons might be dramatis personae in metal, carved in stone, embroidered on cloth, painted on wood and many other things. Till now the obedience of the commandment id not to mark "graven images", Orthodox icons might certainly not be more than three-quarter of the bas
For example Alexander II was a humanitarian but Nicholas II mainly wanted modernisation for Russia. Alexander III just wanted to retain his power and keep in control to avoid the same fate as his father. Similarly, the communist rulers were not uniform either as they had different core aims, for example Khruschev’s main aim was destalinisation whereas Stalin’s was to create his own legacy. The Provisional Government and Lenin were alike in their policies in the fact that they both completely changed the system. In the case of the Provisional Government they changed it from autocratic to democratic and Lenin changed it to a one party state; although the result was different the basis was the same.
Emily Everett The Russian Revolution Was it the Tsars fault? There wasn’t really anybody to put all of the blame on for the Russian Revolution, because there were many things that could be considered the reason for the Russian Revolution, some things were unchangeable and nobody’s fault at all, and some things were the actions of people. Because of this, the Russian Revolution wasn’t entirely the Tsar’s fault, although some of the choices he made had added on to starting it. Who/what was to blame? During the time of the Russian Revolution, Russia was a huge empire, and it spread across from Poland all the way to the Pacific, and it also had a large, culturally diverse population of about 165 million people of different religions and languages, and because of this it was a very difficult country to rule.
of 1918, 17). The Bolsheviks wrote this to the people to con them to come back on the Bolsheviks side, though the Bolsheviks were not actually going to follow through with it like we seen with the tsar an the October Manifesto. In the 1920s the Bolsheviks were emerging victorious from the Civil War. Though they had recognized the independence of former tsarist territories, they wanted to retain the East Slavic lands, and later reconquer the states of South Caucasus and Central Asia. The question of nationalism then came up due to the fact that most of the people in these states were non-Russian, in which the Constitution took a form of a treaty, ostensibly among a set of independent socialist republics (including the RSFSR), which established a federation or union (Const.
“Is it time for Scotland to become and independent country?” Thinking Module Report (1000) Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales have all created this glorified image of togetherness since they were united in 1707 through the Treaty of Unions. Since then, however, the dispute of Scotland becoming an independent country has been a reoccurring argument that has put a strain on the relationships between these ‘united’ countries. When the Scottish National Party (SNP) were successful in the election of May 4th 2012 the position of Scotland has been questioned by politicians and mainly by the people of Scotland. Whether or not Scotland should become an independent country, a debate that was presented by Stewart Hosie, an MP for the Scottish Nationalist Party who was arguing in motion of independence. Conversely, Jenny Marra, representing MSP Labour party argued against independence.
A nation is a collection of people bound together by shared values and common characteristics. Nationalism is sometimes categorised as a political doctrine, as opposed to a political ideology. It is often perceived as a single doctrine, due to its ability to attach itself to almost any wider political ideology, such as liberalism, conservatism, fascism and socialism. In contrast to the core ideologies, nationalism does not consist of complex interrelated ideas,and values, it is simply the belief that the nation is the natural unit of government. However, in other respects nationalism can be characterised by its significant divisions, this makes nationalism appear to be a collection of distinct and in some respects, sharply conflicting sub-strands.
How far did the introduction of Western Style reforms and the use of foreigners assist Peter the Great in strengthening his absolute rule? Peter the Great was influenced by the instability in Russia he had witnessed in Childhood, and was determined to expunge the subversive element of his population which could precipitate a resurgence of this anti-authoritarian violence. Further aims included the unification of Russia, extension of territory and its defence against the Poles, Tatars and Swedes. This required securing his absolutism, as internal security is a prerequisite of an effective foreign policy. Although foreigners and western-style changes did not cover the entire scope of his developments, they certainly appear to have been a fundamental
• In response to massive protest he created the October Manifesto (propositions) and promised to grant more rights, such as freedom of speech, meeting and association. Also, promised that no one would be imprisoned without trial. He agreed to set up a national legislature called the Duma but it had limited powers and did little to relieve peasant and worker discontent. Simran: He created the Fundamental State Laws 1906 but the rights were more limited than promised in Manifesto. Ex: created state council and upper chamber but he would nominate half members; he solely encapsulated the right to declare war, he would still control the Orthodox Church, the power to appoint and dismiss ministers and to dissolve the Duma, if he desired.

Restate thesis The last reformer of the Russian royal crown, Alexander was a key factor in the coming years, especially in the events leading up to the October Revolution. He is a man whose history is controversial, whether he is seen as a great liberator of Russia and a great reformer, or of an evil tyrant whose actions sped the October Revolution. Both are true and false in their own right, but the truth is in neither of these statements. Alexander II was a moderate reformer whose assassination ended reform in Russia.
