Russia: The "pillars Of Autocracy"

This country itself will help maintain the emperor's authority. Most of the population are farmers. Because most of them can not read or write, spreading liberalism and revolutionary ideas with books and pamphlets is difficult. These farmers live mainly in remote village villages. This makes them hard to unite to challenge the emperor. Due to the large scale of Russia and poor road and railway conditions, it is difficult to spread ideas.

But this is Russia, not even a dictator. Dictator of "Peter the Great" comes from the Western vision of Peter the Great, and the royalty is organized through law, bureaucracy and government system. Alexander III, the heir of the murdered reformer Alexander II, tried to respond and sent it back to the emperor center, a personal "Moscow" dictatorship. Petroline 's bureaucracy in the 19th century was interested in reforms tied to people, and people wanted a constitution. Nicolas II, the son of Alexander III, was also from Moscow, trying to improve the situation retroactively until the 17th century. Please also consider dress code. In addition to this there is a good emperor's idea: it is a doctor, a nobleman, the other landlord is a bad guard, the emperor protect you, not an evil dictator. Russia has no one to believe it.

Indeed, Russia has a long tradition of authoritarianism. Putin's "administrative democracy" system has penetrated for centuries before becoming the latest incarnation of centralized and personalized state power. Some say that Russia's geopolitical reality has no other choice. How can we rule the world's largest country over the strong and stable individual's hands to gather the Russian land and people under a stable and unity vision? The Soviet system not only did not overthrow the Russian authoritarian regime, but only drew the emperor's red: "People need emperors," Stalin said.

This month, 100 years ago, in February 1917 the emperor and Nicolas II, Russian emperor abstained. Although Congress - Duma - already exists, Russia is still an authoritarian state and there is no constitution. By the abstention of the emperor, a provisional government was established in the capital Petrograd and a parliament was formed to write a constitution to make an orderly transition to functioning democracy. Russian democracy never happened. In October, the interim government was overthrown. The office was forfeited and the workers' group or the Soviet Union formed a new government. Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik, soon controlled the government. The country developed into the Soviet Union (the Soviet Union) and continued until 1991. The Soviet leaders had never been able to vote freely without fail. The first secretary of the Communist Party is the head of the government and he is secretly elected.
