I shall never, under any circumstances, agree to a representative form of government because I consider it harmful to the people whom God has entrusted to my care.
Nicholas II of Russia

Nicholas II Thought is a personal tendency of Authoritarian Conservatism that represents the beliefs of Tsar Nicholas II.

Tsar Nicholas II is considered the weakest Tsar by many. He was the last reigning Emperor of Russia, King of Congress Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland from 1 November 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917.

History

Nicholas II became Tsar 1896, where he implemented his policies. During the reign of Nicholas II, the Empire began to produce aeroplanes and cars. During the First World War, 6,300 aircraft were built in “backward” Russia. At the same time, the production of submarines and other high-tech products was developing. The production of cement increased 15 fold, which was necessary for the rapidly gaining momentum in the construction industry. Such an increase was a result of the changes to urban construction and development. For the first time, the construction of seven- and eight-story apartment buildings was underway in Russia. Many of these buildings have survived to this day in Moscow, where they are often mistaken for Stalinist ones, but in reality they were built during the reign of Emperor Nicholas II. Agriculture was also increasing. In terms of the harvest of wheat and sugar beet, Russia ranked first in the world, in terms of the total volume of grain harvest – the United States ranking second.

Under Nicholas II there was also significant reforms. The essence of the reforms resulted in the peasants having the right to personal ownership, giving a person the opportunity to buy and sell land without being constrained by any conditions. The Bolsheviks, on the other hand, drove everyone into collective farms, again turning people into disenfranchised slaves.

During Nicholas II’s reign, huge sums of money were allocated for the creation of experimental agricultural enterprises. Farms, and experimental stations were emerging, and agronomy was developing. It was at this time that the first tractors appeared in villages. The population was growing at a record pace, while mortality was decreasing. One of the many myths regarding the Russian Empire was that the population was allegedly starving, that every few years there was a terrible famine that claimed the lives of millions of people. Hunger in any case is reflected in the statistics, if there was one. But we know two peaks – the famine of the 1920s and 1930s. There were no such peaks in the Russian Empire; the mortality rate was consistently decreasing due to an increase in living standards. The claim that the revolution saved people from hunger does not stand up to scrutiny. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian Empire was an advanced high-tech country with rapidly developing industrialization and education.

But, despite all the positive changes to the physical world, Nicholas II was unable to adapt to the rapidly changing ideological world (that is, the social and political landscapes) of early 20th-century Russia. This contributed to widespread discontent among various social groups, including the working class, peasantry, and intellectuals. So he thought for the people and stepped down in 1917.

Beliefs

Nicholas II is very anti-communist. He distrusted liberal and socialist movements, viewing them as threats to the autocratic system and the traditional Russian way of life. This suspicion often led to harsh crackdowns on political dissent and revolutionary activities.

Nicholas II also held the belief that he was chosen by God to rule Russia. This divine right doctrine made him see any challenge to his authority as not just a political threat but a sacrilegious act against the will of God.

Nicholas II was a conservative ruler who valued traditional Russian culture and institutions. He was skeptical of rapid modernization and industrialization, fearing it would erode the traditional social fabric of Russia. But Nicholas II's stance on industrialization is a bit more nuanced than outright opposition. Nicholas II was conservative and traditional in many aspects, still his reign did see significant industrial progress, contrary to what many reds would tell you.

Deeply devout, Nicholas II’s policies were influenced by his strong adherence to Russian Orthodox Christianity. He saw the Church as a pillar of Russian identity and an essential support for his autocratic rule. And, Nicholas II saw his role as Tsar as a sacred duty. Despite his perceived weaknesses as a ruler, he believed deeply in his responsibility to uphold his family’s legacy and to protect his nation.

Nicholas II’s Life

Nicholas II was born as Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov on May 18, 1868 (Old Style: May 6), in Tsarskoye Selo, near Saint Petersburg, Russia. He was the eldest son of Emperor Alexander III and Empress Maria Feodorovna. In 1881, after the assassination of his grandfather, Alexander II, Nicholas became the heir apparent when his father ascended the throne. In 1884, Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov was commissioned as a cornet in the Chevalier Guard Regiment, beginning his military education. From 1890 to 1891, he undertook a grand tour of Asia, visiting countries like Egypt, India, and Japan.
