Made the conditions terrible enough for a revolution to bloom? /S
No idea, really. The empire simps might name something or other, but I can’t. And most of it has been done by other people, anyway - i.e. Stolypin. Nick was just utterly useless, even as a reactionary.
Oh yes Stolypin, he did plenty including so much executions of revolutionaries to be called Wieszatiel and causing kulak epidemic to defuse peasant revolution and create reactionary subclass of peasants.
I didn’t say what he did was anything good or progressive, rather than he did something. Can’t say the same for Spineless Nick. We’re talking about a guy who asked not to interrupt his tea time, when a servant reported to him about mass public unrest
Agree, that was also Lenin’s opinion, he noted few times that while tsar was unrivalled in entire contemporary Europe for bloodshed and tyranny, everything he did was to make people hate him even more, and real counterrevolutionary work was always done by the Stolypin, Pobedonostsev, Durnovo etc.
I mean…what beneficial things did Nicky has done anyway?
