Never trust liberals. Really the capacity of the government to survive this internal revolution was a testament to the fact Nicholas, as especially the Ministry of Interior did fight back.

The instant the liberals got any power, they immediately tried to dissolve the state. The mistake was not totally liquidating them after they showed their hand. But that’s what separates the memory of Nicholas II from Nicholas I or Stalin.

This was part of the URP and other right wing vigilante attacks of the Antebellum Duma liberals, SRs, SDs and political circles that were the disrupters that had acted in 1905. Unfortunately Stolypin was less gung ho than Pyotr Durnovo to this type of action.

I hate to tag everyone again, but you should really read this article on the negation of the Russia-America treaty of 1832 and really internalize what Cohen is talking about.

@ByFisted @PyotrNemets @akarlin88 @akrivoruk @ProBotWasher @NewAtlantisSun The story here is amazing, a valid treaty is invalidated by the political goals of outsiders finance gives preferential treatment and a larger vote than any of us.

Our relationship with the Russian Imperial government was deliberately sabotaged and sponsored the revolution.

@ByFisted @PyotrNemets @akarlin88 @akrivoruk @ProBotWasher @NewAtlantisSun Sulzberger and Schiff basically went around the State Department which was too “Russophilic” (ie maintaining a relationship beneficial to the United States) and instead pressured congress for their own ethnic and financial interests.
