Ok...I stand corrected. But wouldn’t you say Chank Kai-Shek was king-like and Czar Nicolas was a Monarch?
The Communists had absolutely nothing to do with the abdication of Tsar (not Czar) Nicholas in March 1917, since they were mostly out of the country (e.g. Lenin in Switzerland and Trotsky in Brooklyn); and the government that the Communists violently overthrew 7 months later was the freely e=elected government that had been elected in April 1917.

Chiang Kai-shek was more of a generalissimo than anything else.
And yes, Czar Nicholas was a monarch, but he wasn’t overthrown by the Bolsheviks.
By the way, I have nothing against monarchy in itself.
