How did he survive 1905?

A loyal army

-The quality of life in the Western heart of the empire was not effected harshly
-He had not destroyed the heart and soul of his army and had it replaced with conscripts

Stolypin pretty much ran the country back then and Nicky did absolutely nothing.

how did stolypin mange to preserve the Tsardom then?

>The quality of life in the Western heart of the empire was not effected harshly

lel what ? a begging population exhausted by hunger flocked at winter palace this same year. He didn't even send the Cossacks to hit the peasants with the flat side of their swords, he ordered to fucking shoot.

1905 didn't have immediate consequences on his reigns but it was the point of no return

He drowned it in blood. Over 1100 revolutionaries were executed and it actually worked.

Not just Stolypin but also Witte.

This is what should've happened in 1917 as well, the problem was Russia was neck deep in WW1 by that time and the army couldn't really cull the rebellions. Entering WW1 was one of the dumbest fucking thing Russia did (and yes I know Germany technically declared war first, but Russia was already mobilized and ready to pummel Austria-Hungary).

i was unsure about the loyalty of the army. Looking a the mutiny of the Battleship Potemkin, it seemed initially the armed forces lacked loyalty as well

Nothing bad really happened in the British Empire in 1905? Why would our boy George be in danger?

promise of some sort of constitution. its called the october manifesto. thats made the general strike come to an end, this made the formation of parties legal. rest of the revolution was repressed by the army and the police.

>the army couldn't really cull the rebellions
actually, it's when the army refused entirely to fire on crowds that the empire collapsed. but, yes, the trauma of the war led up to that point obviously.

This. Once the middle classes/civil society were appeased with a modicum of constitutionalism and civil liberties it threw its support behind the monarchy to crush the workers and constituencies that threatened the social order. It was an effective example of divide and conquer. In 1917, the monarchy collapsed because the middle class became totally alienated from it by the Tsar's abysmal handling of the conflict.

German blood money

>The aristocracy an army suppourted him, unlike in 1917
>the middleclass were easily calmed by the Duma
>had stolypin and sergei Witte
that's basically it
t. guy who studied this for a level
too pure for this world

If germany did not enter then they wouldn't have lost/ war dragged on for so long. Also if his commanders were going against just Hotzendorf he wouldn't have had to lead the army after embarrassing total defeats in the first months

They were still mainly loyal, and saw him as their father and not a farmer sending them to the slaughter house. Also the army wasn't a socially active and wanting grand reforms
He was kinda suppourting filthy yellow people instead of his glorious european cousin

kek

>he ordered to fucking shoot.
Look guys this is HISTORIAN over here just look just look on this high quallity knoledge on the topic, just fascinating, never ceased to amazed by some people over here

>czarboo shits

be more mad

Why do people get to sad when they hear he got shot?
He had not only gotten Russia into a war in which millions of its citizens died, he had to kill even more by taking personal command over the front.

because he was handsome, don't need any other reason?

This and he was just an incompetent ruler who really only wanted to be a family man. I mean, the guy would go in vacation for months, he clearly didn't want to rule.

Also he was actually fairly anti-war with his Hague conventions, but then he contrasted that with fighting the Japanese and entering WW1.

Yeah lets kill everyone making a valid point about how shitty my rule is instead of reforming and fixing the problems. You conservatives really deserve the periodic executions you get.

- still had support of the merchant class
- still had support of the army (mostly)
- Lenin, stalin etc. were in exile and didn't have that much support yet

he wasn't even at the winter palace on the date in question. Read a fucking book.

Revolution won. He agreed to creation of Parliament and massive amnesty of terrorists.

>He didn't even send the Cossacks to hit the peasants with the flat side of their swords, he ordered to fucking shoot.
He was having a picnic with his family and didn't even learn about the shooting until days after

casually having a picnic in the middle of the russian winter?

By not being dead. That's why the second time it came under major threat it died. Because Stolypin wasn't around to hang everyone.

> I mean, the guy would go in vacation for months, he clearly didn't want to rule.

Yeah but the problem was he didnt want anyone else to which is why he kept on dissolving the duma and refusing to abdicate

It's not "on the field with baskets" picnic dummy, it's "royal palace outside the city" picnic

When you try to negotiate with subhuman trash you end up on the gallows. Play benevolent and you get beheaded. You HAVE to act like the tyrant they see you as, revolutionary trash cannot be reasoned with.

Examples: Louis XVI, Nicholas II

De Maistre predicted what would happen in Russia if ruler got benevolent, 100 years before revolution.
