One thing we can all agree upon: no Bolshevism. Bolsheviks tore up Russia and made a mess. Idiots.
Unfortunately, the Czars were not much better for Russia. At the time of The Revolution, Russia was still mostly consisting of poor peasantry. Had the Mensheviks held onto power over the Bolsheviks and developed Russia into more of a Western-Style country, maybe Russia would have been spared a lot of grief.
