Wiemar was really, really weak. Germany went Nazi in reaction to Russia going communist.
I did quite a bit of research into Peter Stolypin. Did a paper on him. Had the revolution not occurred, Russia would have become a constitutional monarchy on par with the UK. Much of the suffering of the 20th century would have been avoided.
I have ot agree with you in that regards.
The problem was mainly Alexandra. She relied on Rasputin and if Nicholas had given away, then the Duma probably would have gotten rid of Rasputin and quite frankly she would have been in terror of her hemophiliac son ending up dying because Rasputin wasn’t there ot heal him. She never let the public know and she was really antisocial and didn’t mingle with anyone in society, so no one was really able to understand, much less reach out. AS a result of all her problems, she fought against the monarchy becoming a constitutional one and therefore ended up fight to keep the autocracy going.
