How well suited to governing russia was Tsar nicholas 2??
- AUTOCRAT, there was no parliament, what nicholas said was law, he believed God had put him on the throne. Alexandra told him not to give away power. Tsar 'The Little Father' ie little god.
- FAMILY MAN, remote from subjects, he didn't give people rights and thought they were children. He was weak, indicisive and easy led.
- RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH, superstitous peasantry, peasents did what they were told to do by the church. They called Tsar 'little father'. Karl Marx called the church the opium of the people.
