Tsar Nicholas II

On July 17, 1918 the royal family of Russia were murdered and today’s podcast was recorded on the 98th anniversary of the crime.

Tsar Nicholas is one of the greatest men of the 20th century. His reign was a success on all fronts. Industrial growth was extraordinary. Railroads were being laid throughout that huge country. Iron and steel production increased by about 156% between 1900-1913, while pig iron, or unprocessed iron, increased by almost 100%.

The state was spending a fortune on education at all levels. Peasants were buying land from the nobility through the peasant land bank, which offered credit on very good terms. Other peasants were moving to fertile parts of Siberia, at government expense, with state supplied tools and seed. Russian exports and her foreign trade increased by about 150% throughout Nicholas' reign. Between 1861 and 1916, about 90% of the land was in peasant hands. In Germany at the time, the figure was about 40%.

The fact is that the old nobility were disappearing. While few of these nobles were wealthy, almost all of them were deep in debt. Government service, a rising peasant class and a middle class were slowly taking over. The working class by 1900 was still tiny. Contrary to popular belief, peasant landholding was expanding in every direction, both in it’s communal setting as well as for individual proprietors. Russian taxes were the lowest in Europe, at 1.83 rubles per capita, versus the equivalent of 17 rubles in Great Britain at the time.

Russia was becoming urbanized. Like the rest of Europe, she had periods of labor unrest, but probably had the best pro-labor legislation in the world, passed by Alexander III, his father. It was tough to fire workers. Hours were reduced and night hours were forbidden for children and women. The factory inspectorate was created, which sent government inspectors to look at working conditions and hear labor complaints. Wages were continually rising. Sergei Witte, Nicholas' prime minister, made it easier for peasants to buy land on their own. Even Soviet estimates of peasant landownership under Nicholas show that about 90.45% of the land was owned by the peasantry as the nobility was desperate to sell.

From 1898 to 1913, the Russian farmer increased his live animal herds by over 200%, butter by over 300% and both fresh and salted meats by almost 500%. Russia grew about 60% of the world's rye and about 30 percent of it’s oats. This is partly due to the increasing number of peasant proprietors, as well as the investment of the Russian government at all levels in improvement of peasant agricultural methods.

Russia was running both a trade and budget surplus. This was partly due to her newer industries such as oil, steel and sugar beets, but her massive increases in grain production also played a part. Her only substantial debts were to France.

Almost all government positions were elected. The commune was the main organ for the peasants, it had its own courts and police. All were elected. The next level up was the volost court (like a county court), which was also elected. The zemstva were units of local government that were elected too, with a noble dominated upper house and a peasant lower house. Communes would send delegates to get their views heard.

Governorships were still appointed from St. Petersburg, but could do little without the consent of local governing bodies. The Tsar was not absolute. The nobility was given it’s charter of liberties under Peter III, Catherine II and Paul, and had substantial civil rights, despite their desperate economic position. Peasants had a right to land in the communal system and were judged solely according to their own law. Enforcement was difficult, since Petersburg was so far away, so most government was local. Contrary to public belief the Russian bureaucracy was far smaller per capital than England or France.

The church was experiencing a revival. With the writings of the Slavophiles, the rise of hesychasm (a form of monastic prayer) in Optina and Sarov, the immense popularity of St. John of Kronstadt, and before him, Filaret of Moscow, the Orthodox Church was growing rapidly. A new group of intellectual theologians were coming on the scene by 1900.

Tsar Nicholas II was murdered by a British empire that saw Russia as its primary threat. He was murdered by a "Russian" press that invested story after story to incite the people against him. These stories were then reported in English papers without criticism.

The Kahal in Brooklyn decreed the death penalty for Tsar Nicholas. Below is a postcard that they issued. The left panel shows the sacrificial chicken with Tsar Nicholas' head on it. The right panel is a French issued card from the Jewish Kahal in Paris that says "Holy Russia." The tsar's head is on a pike.

Nicholas II was a very weak, naive, and indecisive ruler, and him sending millions of Russian troops without proper clothing and weapons to die fighting Germans AND Austrians in World War 1 from 1914 to 1917 was his ultimate downfall, as the Russians jews took full advantage of this misery in the country to forment communist/socialist revolutions. These 2 scenes from the 1971 film "Nicholas and Alexandra" capture this foolishness well.


Year 1914 - start of World War 1




Year 1917 - abidcation of the tsar





Added to this in practically every photo of him together with his wife (the tasrina Alexandra), she looks miserable and depressed. I don't think there's a single photo in their 24 year marriage where she doesn't look unhappy. She eventually had an affair with Rasputin will full knowledge of the tsar who blocked all outside efforts to have him removed from the royal household. Her love of Rasputin was even documented in the tsarina's private diaries. Eventually Rasputin was murdered by the Russian nobles to end his evil influence, but by that time it was way too late....the damage had been done.

Here's a photo of Rasputin in the bedroom with all the female members of the royal family to show how close he got to all of them.

I'm not going to pretend to know much about the Romanovs other than that they were martyred by the Bolsheviks. But,

You know that's how people posed for photos back in the day right? They had to sit still and hold a pose for a long exposure. https://history.nebraska.gov/why-so-serious-3-reasons-why-you-never-see-a-smile-in-old-photographs/

Candids show smiles:




Not planning to go tit for tat on photos here but "woman looks serious and sad in old pictures" is not something compelling to bring to the table.

Check Alexandra's diaries.
Also, the photo above is proof enough....letting a peasant be photographed with all her daughters in essentially indoor nightgowns was a scandal.

The Russian nobles wouldn't have murdered the lover of the tsarina unless they knew he was a threat to the entire aristocracy.

Also, Russian newspapers at the time (1914-1917) published these cartoons which fanned the flames even further

K so slander, got it

This is why I created this thread because there are so many bol$hevik lies about the Tsar, who knows, maybe he's the most slandered monarch in history. People in the west were raised being spoon fed lies about the Tsar all their life to the point that, as we see on this forum, even the Orthodox have hard time to get on top of this evil spell. It's morbid.

Notice it's a first reply and an immediate reach to jewish propaganda. Such is the enslaved western ego. That is proof in itself.

I'm not well-read on this subject, but I remember first learning about the murder of the royal family at a relatively young age and finding it a deeply evil act.

At least we're finally getting an authorized English translation of Solzhenitsyn's Two Hundred Years Together next year.

Just a Western European colonizer of Russia, he had represented imperial power of German aristocracy over Russia.
Read up on it, even one very banned man with a small mustache said it in this very banned book, right around 100 years ago. He lamented that Russia became useless to Germany after throwing off Romanov dynasty, which was fully germanic and allowed them to control Russia.
Nicholas was less than 1% Russian by blood, his ancestry is well known, a descendant of German-Dutch Royalty.
Russia did not want to be their colony and threw the occupation off. Later, Stalin had cleaned things up further, he was no friend of zionists either. Local peoples came to power in Russia, currently has a Russian leader .
Nicholas really enjoyed killing cats and I beieve killed thousands for fun, by the way, truly evil guy. People did not care for him because of WW1 quagmire either.

Not sure about that, Russia was a bit of a loose cannon, that's why the banksters in London, Frankfurt or Stockholm financed the Bolsheviks.

I'm no fan of the evil jews and they are 100% responsible for the horrible murder and mutilation of the royal family and for plunging Russia into jewish dictatorship with gulags and mass killings of millions. There's no revisionism on my part.
I am also aware that the tsar and his family have been declared "passion bearers" by the Orthodox church in Russia mostly based on the manner in which they were killed and later grossly mutilated. But they have NOT been declared full fledged Russian saints (yet).

However, the historical criticisms of tsar Nicholas II are just and valid.
These are not Bolshevist or jewsh fantasies.

The tsar was making awful military decisions way before the 1917 revolution.
The world was shocked when almighty Russia country was defeated by the Japanese in 1905.
Before 1905 Japan was considered a mid rate emerging country...and overnight with this victory it turned into a formidable empire.
While Russia was losing badly against Japan there was a revolution in 1905 which partially failed but it did create the Duma removing the tsar's absolute ruling power. It showed that people in Russia were already having doubts about tsar Nicholas II competency.

However 2 revolutions in in 1917 succeeded fully because by that time millions of Russians had been killed on the battlefields of world war 1 and there was widespread food shortages in the cities. At the start of the year 1917 Russian money was becoming worthless and people were almost starving. These terrible conditions made it possible for socialist and communist revolutions to have mass support. The Russian people were desperate to end the war and have something to eat. The tsar either made terrible decisions throughout world war 1 that lead millions to die, and he signed off on legislation and official edicts from his advisors that created these awful conditions.

This does NOT mean he or his family deserved the death penalty. Yet the understandable requests for his abdication came from his own generals and NON jewish factions of his own government. Also remember that a few years after tsar Nicholas II abdication, the kings of Austria-Hungary Germany and the sultans of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) also were forced to abdicate because of how awful world war 1 went. Four different countries (empires) had their royal familes removed from power between 1917 and 1922.

Jews can only come to total power in countries when rulers and/or governments are WEAK politically and/or facing bankruptcy.
If the tsar was strong, loved by most of his people, and making good military decisions, jews would have never been able to get mass support for revolution.

Also, you will never find 100% definitive proof the tsar's wife was sleeping with Rasputin...but what the hell was he doing in the royal palaces at strange hours when the wife and their daughters in casual nightgowns ?! Why was the tsarina writing about him repeatedly in her diaries ? His repeated visits inside various different royal residences is well documented, and it's also well documented that the tsar ignored multiple requests from Russian nobles and his own advisors to have him removed. Rasputin was likely a jewish agent...he had even been on a pilgrimage to the holy land (pre israeli state). His terrible influence on the royal family is undeniable. Why the hell was he given such amazing access and protection by the royal family ?! It's all very suspect to this day.

Finally, even Putin himself has admitted that Nicholas II was a poor ruler.

Vladimir Putin has spoken negatively about Nicholas II on more than one occasion, describing his role as a ruler “erroneous” and “absurd”. Putin believes that Nicholas II ruled the country incorrectly, made many mistakes, which is why Russia lost the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) and later lead Russia unprepared into the First World War. Putin further believes that during the war, Nicholas II personally made a number of errors of judgment and policy, which forced his highest ranking military officers to seek his removal from the throne by forcing the Tsar to abdicate.

You need to be more objective in your assessment of Nicholas II...not every criticism of his rule is a jewish or Bolshevist lie.

Also as a side note, a few decades later the communists in China after 1949 decided that killing the former imperial rulers of China was a very bad idea because of what happened to tsar Nicholas II and his family....so the last emperor of China was merely imprisoned, "reformed" and then released to become "a good communist".

Or any proof at all for that matter, in which case perhaps it would be unwise to assert such claims as fact.

So, it's ok to let a lowly peasant known across all of St Parkersburg for fornication with various women, hang around for years with your wife and daughters, even in their private chambers when you're not around ? "I swear dear....he's just a friend !"

This is interesting...no doubt international jewry had been financing Russia's enemies since the elder protocols of Zion meeting.

What do they have to gain?

Even the wife of this German plant Nicholas was full blooded German princess, Russian was not good enough for late years "Romanovs". Funny how her fake made up "Russian" name (so that plebes would think she was local) was Alexandra Fyodorovna Romanova (mimicry) while her real name was Alix Victoria Helena Louise Beatrice von Hesse.
Reminds of how Zelensky's name is "Volodymir Olexandrovich Zelensky" . They sure love those plants to get Slavic names. That slop is always the same. I mean I could understand one temporary instance of foreign origin leadership, but in Romanov's case it was fully hijacked entire dynasty with Russian cleansed out of them by Euro aristocracy, holding absolute and forever power, the only was to get rid of that was to overthrow them.

Lie and deceive about history, and change the narrative.

The group of men who killed Rasputin were very rich, noble class, pro monarchy, right wing, anti jews....they would never have dared to have done such a thing if they really believed he was holy man who was a good influence on the royal family. Even Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich (a cousin of the Nicholas II himself) was involved by driving the the car with the bullet ridden corpse of Rasputin to the bridge where the body was thrown into the ice covered Neva river. All this happened in December 1916, a few months before Nicholas II abdicated the throne, and in the middle of world war 1.

Police later pulled Rasputin's corpse out of the icy river.

Dude, you believe the lie that the Tsar abdicated from the throne. I have no reason to believe a word you say.
