No, these are political events, not military ones. After the Bolsheviks came to power, they practically disbanded the army. There were many reasons for this, including the creation of a new army subordinate to the revolution.

The humiliating defeat of the Russian army during the First World War was brilliantly portrayed in the film "Nicholas and Alexandra". At the end of the first part of the film, the soldiers in Saint Petersburg salute the Tsar and march to the front in a very epic scene full of patriotism and pride, which ends with the patriotic music slowly fading out and the screen going dark, but the sound of military footsepts is still heard for a while in a concerning haunting way. After the intermission, we only watch from this point military commanders taking their own lives, teenagers and old men on the front lines, and soldiers killing their superiors just to eat a rabbit in peace instead of fighting the germans.
Russia lost because of inner betrayal and outside infiltration, it's obvious to me now that in late 1916 Russia was considering to make a separate peace with Germany, so to avoid that British instigated February "democratic" revolution, which was nothing else but a coup with many generals and government ministers at the head of it. Rasputin wasn't a monster like they like to portray him, far from it...keep watching CNN and base your "knowledge" on Hollywood so to make sure you stay in darkness

@@nikolamatic8684 The war was already lost when the communists took the power. In fact, the Bolsheviks wanted a peace treaty with the Germans while the Mensheviks wanted to win no matter what. Interestingly, the Germans helped Lenin to return to Russia because the latter promised them to sign a peace agreement.
Yes, the Germans were trying to free the countries enslaved by Russia shown in this video but England and the US fought against the Germans which lead to those countries coming under Bolshevik enslavement which continues to this day.
Yes, wars have practically always started out fighting another country, but only a few of those didn't end with fighting starvation. Soldiers tend to forget about their nationalistic pride and perceived superior norms and values when having to resort to eating bugs.
I like to use this major turning point in world war 1 to remind my friends how dynamic and fluid the political landscape was towards the end of the war. Things changed a lot for some groups and those changes set the stage for the hostility that would rise in WW2. We often all of the sudden realIe there’s a Soviet Russia, and Germany has become nazis and that’s the story of the eastern conflict. American education am I right? Well thank you guys for you hard work and beautiful story telling!
I never even know about the war between Russia and Poland, 1919-21. I was taught that there was peace after the armistice. American children and young adults are taught history very poorly, in my experience.
Our High Shcool education system was all about the civil war but onlt a few chapters the rest was all about slavery and a few unheard of blacks,,,,, Teacher (Black and dumb as a rock) tried to tell me some Black general led a Hatian Army against the French Grand Army and was the first general to defeat Napoleon....... I know all about Haiti ( not a good black roll modle for a country) and I never new Naploeon left the Continent nor that a Hatian Army landed in Europe.... Revisionist BS history.................
This is arguably the most underdiscussed cause of WWII, that many in German Army felt they had finally reconquered the Baltic “Wild East” (where the Baltic German settlers had remained the nobility for 700 years even under the Swedish and Russian Empires), along with establishing a presence in the breadbasket of Ukraine and the fought-over-for-millennia Crimea, and that it had all been taken away from their victorious army by the surrender of the republican government in 1918. Then to add insult to injury, in 1919 when the Bolsheviks threatened the Baltic Germans in the newly independent Baltic states, including a Soviet takeover over of Latvia and Riga, the old Germanic Order and Hanseatic city, Germany recaptured Courland and Livonia with the promise of settlement for a volunteer force which was joined by Baltic German forces, and installed a Baltic German government in Latvia. However they were then defeated by the Classicalist Estonians and Latvians, who had already ejected the Soviets from Estonia, at the Battle of Cesis and Latvians regained power in Riga, although the Baltic German nobility remained significant under the new government, but they were stripped of a large portions of their landholdings which was given to Latvians. This all was seen as a revitalization of the old “East Settling”, the original German settlement of Prussia, Riga and the Baltic, and was later characterized as the beginning of a new “Drive to the East", with the Baltics, Ukraine and Crimea forming the heart of the German “Living Space” idea.
This is conveniently ignored in history because it would make Germany seem rational, which they were. Just as the Soviet imperialist expansions west aren’t even covered in our history books while Germany invaded Poland was the end of the world.
From military point this was a waste of time, men and resources. Victory was achieved too late to really use Ukranian grain and right moment for decisive attack in the West was missed. If Spring offensive came early and with more manpower, USA wont save Europe...
As I recall, a large part of the reason the Germans advanced so quickly because they encountered very little resistance since Russian troops had just stopped fighting for the most part. They still manned the front line but when the Germans would move forward, they would just retreat without a fight.
@@danielkirpichnikov2007 thaf's false. The mass of the soldiers stayed on the front lines (and some even fought) in 1917. It was not until the Bolsheviks' coming to power the army was disbanded

When they realized Germany *wanted* to keep fighting, they agreed to the terms, but by then it was too late.
@@brainflash1 Lenin and the Soviets gave Trotsky a clear instruction to conclude peace along the front line. And if it failed, Lenin was ready to fight further, using it already in agitation for the defense of the Fatherland. We are ready for a world without conditions, but the Kaiser wants to capture everyone. Trotsky somehow thought that the dissolution of the army would immediately cause a revolution in Germany. By the way, Lenin tried with all his might to cancel the order to disband the army.

If you ever wondered why the Nazis were so convinced they’d crush the Soviets in a year here’s your answer The Kaiser’s army was ground to a bloody halt in France but crushed Russia and then the Bolsheviks with ease An army that had routed France and Britain in weeks would surely crush the bolsheviks again Also many men fighting in WW1 would be the German generals of WW2. Hitler included.
The whole Nazi race theory told them that Slavs were incapable of sophisticated warfare and they were communists so they'd never manage to build 10s of thousands of tanks etc

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk - Russia lost 34% of its population, 54% of its industrial land, 89% of its coalfields, and 26% of its railways. Russia was also fined 300 million gold marks.[37] This happened before the Treaty of Versailles and even after that the Germans cried that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair! While they themselves, when they won, literally tore off the last shoes from the losing sides 🤣
Lol, I remember the Russian plan we don't make peace and we stall, and hopefully, the Germans stop fighting. "Germany I'm about to do a pro gamer move".
To be honest its misleading. Bolsheviks were hoping for a communist revolution in Germany after Russia, and then in the whole world. Yup, they seriously believed in their fairy tales and that's why they didn't prepared
This is Trotsky's decision. Lenin wanted peace, along the front line, and after that, demobilization. But Germany was also overwhelmed by unprecedented greed. Instead of capturing Poland and Lithuania and buying food from Russia with money. They wanted everything for nothing, as a result, they continued the war on two fronts. And in the occupied lands, instead of free food, guerrilla warfare and Bolshevik agitation of their soldiers.
there are only countable youtube channels, i think 4 or 5 who make detailed videos on war i mean explaining the war itself and not only the overall history and you are one of them, just wanted to say that please also make videos on more modern wars such as the war going on right now, after it ends, and also arab Israel war, as well as the indo pak war, these wars need to be covered by someone like you
And of those channels, the one with the worst viewers is Knowledgia. The amount of idiots there.... Knowledgia is a jack of all trades, and therefore a master of none, so they get a lot wrong, but they are very interesting videos in general. Of course, not as top notch as these.

Same with the sailor revolts in germany (1918), which sparked into a full blown revolution. That's why the Kaiser had to flee the country and the Weimar Republic was found and doomed in the next year after signing the treaty of Versailles. Fun fact, the Weimar republic and the Soviet Union were both very isolated after the 1. WW. That's why both met in Rapallo and the Weimar Republic was the first country, which recognized the Soviet Union as a state. The Germans made a deal that they could test their tanks there (disregarding the Treaty of Versailles) and the Soviets got technology and engineers from the germans. Both wanted to end the isolation.
The Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion explain that powerful Gentile kigns were the only visible threat to the Jewish plans for global domination.

to be honest, it is interesting that the Germans did so selfishly but they played a vital role in laying the groundwork for the independence of eastern european states. not their actual intention ofcourse but certainly true
I'm sure that defeat in 1905 war with Japan is more humiliating, imagine being the first European nation that lost the major war with so called "worst race"
Great video. It’s impressive how after years of relative stagnation (far less than in the West but none the less still comparatively a lot ) Germany was so successful at almost overnight defeating the Soviet army and capturing vast swathes of territory. Of courses the total collapse of the Russian state, the arrival of a new radical regime and an ongoing civil war likely didn’t help. Still it’s an impressive feet. I wonder to what extent this did prolong the war, as the food from Ukraine ( although heavily impacted by partisans as the video showed) must have helped mitigate the Allied blockade.
The most beautiful thing is that during the Second World War the Soviet Union simply destroyed Germany completely. Just Despite all her achievements, successes, And it shows the strength of the Soviet Union and the Russians in particular.

Unternehman Fuastschlag was the template for the later invasion of Russia, Unternehman Barbarossa. Even allied commanders believed the USSR would roll over in 1941, just as it had in 1917.
It should not be that new for you. Lenin was a tool in the hand of the central powers. He greed to the harsh terms of the Brest-Litovsk treaty because for him the main thing was succedding in fully taking the power against the other faction who wanted to control Russia. One of his main argument to convince people to be on his side was to get Russia out of the war. And as we know, during the years that follower the war, the soviets took back most of the territories they let go in the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
Russia has always been overestimated because of how big the country is. For the largest part of history it was nothing more than a rural backwater, severely underdeveloped in comparison to its neighbours save for some urban centers. Even today Russia "only" has about the same population as Germany and France combined. But then again, Russia has also been severely underestimated because of how big the country is. Napoleon and Hitler weren't intimidated by the massive blob on their maps, and we all know how that went down. You have to sacrifice your manpower, Russia only has to sacrifice ground. And you can bet that you run out of manpower before Russia runs out of ground.

@@l.s.9095 Why? The outcome of the war in the west wasn't settled in 1917. It was a stalemate at that point. In the east, the Germans were winning. If they could have concentrated more effort on it, the Bolsheviks and the Communist revolution would have ended in a loss. The western powers were not big fans of the Communist revolution. They probably wouldn't have stopped Germany from going into Russia heavily. The Entente powers probably would have agreed to end the war at that point with an amicable peace. With pressure from the civil population, the Entente powers needed to end the war anyway. Germany wouldn't have had the humiliation of losing the war that they had in November 1918. The rise of National Socialism would never have happened. No WWII, at least the way it happened in reality. I find that interesting. If you don't, I understand.
The beef Germans had was with the British Empire and France who were suffocating German expansion in Africa and German commerce generally. Imperial Russia was an incompetent menace at that point.
Wasn't going to happen, the whole reason they made peace in the east was because the Russians have been defeated, France and Britain were bloodied, but hardly beaten. IT's possible they could have tried to make peace with the west after making peace in the east, but I doubt the 2 sides could have come to an agreement.
This is far too kind to the Ukrainian people and it borders on propaganda. Ukrainian collaboration with the Germans was far more widespread and enthusiastic than noted here. Keep modern politics off this channel.
Claro que foi maior, já que os ucranianos viviam sob domínio e ocupação do império russo, qualquer coisa nova que os libertasse era bem vinda, mas trocar russos por alemães é trocar o ruim pelo mal.
A Central Power victory in WWI would have not only saved Germany from radicalization, but also Russia, since Imperial Germany would never tolerate a bolshevik state on its borders and finished them off after the war (just like the Allies tried in our timeline, but failed). Which would ultimately mean a less toxic world than ours.

Why? Why is it surprising that few people care to learn about a German offensive in Russia in 1917? It had no impact on the end result of the war nor really interfered with the rise of the Soviets.
Ruthless Tsar Nicolas, how? He is a pious Orthodox Emperor, and actually quite lenient to revolutionaries (mistake probably); Imperial Russia was flourishing till 1914- Lenin was brutal and ruthless.
Nicholas destroyed his family's 300-year-old empire by starting a world war together with his dimwitted inbred cousins in Germany and Britain. In 1896, Nicholas refused to cancel a ball in his honor despite over 1,200 people getting crushed to death at his coronation. He killed cats, dogs and birds for fun. Russia under him became the last European nation with pogroms against Jews, and other national minorities, including Muslims, were repressed. In 1914, only about 30 percent of the population was literate, and the vast majority of people lived incredibly poorly. The economic boom seen from the late 1800s onward was enjoyed only by a very small portion of Russians, and was financed by Western capital, which quickly vanished when the war began. I think "Ruthless" is a pretty fair assessment of Nicholas.
@@ilyatsukanov8707 they were poor like all the centuries before, but in the late Imperial Russia the economy was growing rapidly due to industrialization and for the first time since the Medieval era the life of many Russians got significantly better. But all this development came to a halt, when the war broke out and Nicholas started it by declaring war against Austria-Hungary, which triggered the alliance system. Otherwise everything would have remained a minor thing in the Balkans. Austria would have occupied Belgrade for some time, but without annexing anything. Serbia would have remained an independent state, just with a new goverment.
@@Ghreinos No one in the world recognized the Ukrainians and Belarusians as being distinct from Russians at the time, because they frankly weren't. What Germany enforced upon Russia was perhaps the cruelest treaty of the 20th century
Exactly. Many peasants, who lived through WWI and soviet repressions, had good memories about german occupation. Much less amounts of food were taken, independent government was preserved(in some point, at least, it had borders and wasn`t a part of Germany), no etnic/class oppressions etc. Because of that, many people from Belarus, Ukraine, Baltics joined Wehrmacht in WWII as collaborationists.
@@julianshepherd2038 USSR did take food out of the country for sale. All Stalin`s industrialization was carried out by money got from grain and gold exports. Also, taking the food out of villages(and selling it afterwards) was quite common as punishment for "counter-revolutionary activity/sabotage of grain plan" in early 1920-s and 1930-s.

I think calling tzar Nicholas 'ruthless' is not very accurate at all especially when put in the context of the time. He was many things, mostly incompetent, but he was a genuinely pious man and not a ruthless tyrant
He didn't flinch at his coronation when 1200+ people were crushed to death. His government supported pogroms against Jews and repressed other minorities. He hunted birds, cats and dogs for fun. I think "ruthless" is a good description.
@@ilyatsukanov8707 with regards to the coronation crush it appears that he and other members of the royal family were horrified by it but that when the tsar went to the field where it occurred things had calmed down which lead the tsar to believe it was a rumour and so continue the celebrations, in his diary he mentions how terrible it was. With regards to the programs from what I can gather it seems to have been mobs sometimes whipped up by priests. Some people believe that they were secretly supported by the tsar's secret police but I don't think this is likely, the main proponent of this was a Soviet playwright/historian who I am not inclined to believe because of his officiation with the Soviet regime. I'm not going to say that Nicholas was some sort of champion for minorities but it was a very different time and Russia more so than other places. With regards to hunting I'm sure he did hunt as most aristocrats did but I can't find anything referring to hunting cats and dogs. He is known to have owned several dogs and was very fond of them and was very saddened by their deaths. He even buried at least one in a miniature mausoleum, which was a royal tradition

I never even know about the war between Russia and Poland, 1919-21. I was taught that there was peace after the armistice. American children and young adults are taught history very poorly, in my experience.
@@unionsquaregrassman there was also the north Siberian intervention! American troops fought Russians on Russian soil!

Our High Shcool education system was all about the civil war but onlt a few chapters the rest was all about slavery and a few unheard of blacks,,,,, Teacher (Black and dumb as a rock) tried to tell me some Black general led a Hatian Army against the French Grand Army and was the first general to defeat Napoleon....... I know all about Haiti ( not a good black roll modle for a country) and I never new Naploeon left the Continent nor that a Hatian Army landed in Europe.... Revisionist BS history.................
This is arguably the most underdiscussed cause of WWII, that many in German Army felt they had finally reconquered the Baltic “Wild East” (where the Baltic German settlers had remained the nobility for 700 years even under the Swedish and Russian Empires), along with establishing a presence in the breadbasket of Ukraine and the fought-over-for-millennia Crimea, and that it had all been taken away from their victorious army by the surrender of the republican government in 1918.
Then to add insult to injury, in 1919 when the Bolsheviks threatened the Baltic Germans in the newly independent Baltic states, including a Soviet takeover over of Latvia and Riga, the old Germanic Order and Hanseatic city, Germany recaptured Courland and Livonia with the promise of settlement for a volunteer force which was joined by Baltic German forces, and installed a Baltic German government in Latvia. However they were then defeated by the Classicalist Estonians and Latvians, who had already ejected the Soviets from Estonia, at the Battle of Cesis and Latvians regained power in Riga, although the Baltic German nobility remained significant under the new government, but they were stripped of a large portions of their landholdings which was given to Latvians.
This all was seen as a revitalization of the old “East Settling”, the original German settlement of Prussia, Riga and the Baltic, and was later characterized as the beginning of a new “Drive to the East", with the Baltics, Ukraine and Crimea forming the heart of the German “Living Space” idea.
Show me a signed document by Hitler stating that he has any intention of colonising Eastern Europe.
This excuses mass genocide in the ussr by Germany?
This is conveniently ignored in history because it would make Germany seem rational, which they were. Just as the Soviet imperialist expansions west aren’t even covered in our history books while Germany invaded Poland was the end of the world.
@@blitzy3244 polish imperialist expansions are not covered either
From military point this was a waste of time, men and resources. Victory was achieved too late to really use Ukranian grain and right moment for decisive attack in the West was missed. If Spring offensive came early and with more manpower, USA wont save Europe...
@HistoryMarche awesome, great intro for 1919/1920-1921 polish - bolshevik war, wuld love to see you cover that
As I recall, a large part of the reason the Germans advanced so quickly because they encountered very little resistance since Russian troops had just stopped fighting for the most part. They still manned the front line but when the Germans would move forward, they would just retreat without a fight.
Because the army had been disbanded by the Bolsheviks, so there were virtually no resistance
@@tobyalder42 it was disbanded due February revolution. Bolsheviks did nothing for that, as in October 1917 there was no army to disband.
@@danielkirpichnikov2007 thaf's false. The mass of the soldiers stayed on the front lines (and some even fought) in 1917. It was not until the Bolsheviks' coming to power the army was disbanded
Nonsense propaganda. Russians manned more troops on the front than the Germans, but still they lost.
I think adding the year/time-line of the event in the title would help a lot. I didn't know this was a video on WW1 until I started playing it. Same with the videos on say the Scottish clan system or Egyptian fatimid video. It also piques my interest more.

@@throneandaltar7557 They asked him to come up with an alternative because without allied backing they couldn't afford to stay in the war.

When they realized Germany *wanted* to keep fighting, they agreed to the terms, but by then it was too late.
@@brainflash1 Lenin and the Soviets gave Trotsky a clear instruction to conclude peace along the front line. And if it failed, Lenin was ready to fight further, using it already in agitation for the defense of the Fatherland. We are ready for a world without conditions, but the Kaiser wants to capture everyone.
Trotsky somehow thought that the dissolution of the army would immediately cause a revolution in Germany. By the way, Lenin tried with all his might to cancel the order to disband the army.

If you ever wondered why the Nazis were so convinced they’d crush the Soviets in a year here’s your answer
The Kaiser’s army was ground to a bloody halt in France but crushed Russia and then the Bolsheviks with ease
An army that had routed France and Britain in weeks would surely crush the bolsheviks again
Also many men fighting in WW1 would be the German generals of WW2. Hitler included.

Lol, I remember the Russian plan we don't make peace and we stall, and hopefully, the Germans stop fighting. "Germany I'm about to do a pro gamer move".
To be honest its misleading. Bolsheviks were hoping for a communist revolution in Germany after Russia, and then in the whole world. Yup, they seriously believed in their fairy tales and that's why they didn't prepared
This is Trotsky's decision. Lenin wanted peace, along the front line, and after that, demobilization.
But Germany was also overwhelmed by unprecedented greed. Instead of capturing Poland and Lithuania and buying food from Russia with money. They wanted everything for nothing, as a result, they continued the war on two fronts. And in the occupied lands, instead of free food, guerrilla warfare and Bolshevik agitation of their soldiers.

Same with the sailor revolts in germany (1918), which sparked into a full blown revolution.
That's why the Kaiser had to flee the country and the Weimar Republic was found and doomed in the next year after signing the treaty of Versailles.
Fun fact, the Weimar republic and the Soviet Union were both very isolated after the 1. WW.
That's why both met in Rapallo and the Weimar Republic was the first country, which recognized the Soviet Union as a state.
The Germans made a deal that they could test their tanks there (disregarding the Treaty of Versailles) and the Soviets got technology and engineers from the germans.
Both wanted to end the isolation.

Great video. It’s impressive how after years of relative stagnation (far less than in the West but none the less still comparatively a lot ) Germany was so successful at almost overnight defeating the Soviet army and capturing vast swathes of territory. Of courses the total collapse of the Russian state, the arrival of a new radical regime and an ongoing civil war likely didn’t help. Still it’s an impressive feet. I wonder to what extent this did prolong the war, as the food from Ukraine ( although heavily impacted by partisans as the video showed) must have helped mitigate the Allied blockade.

It should not be that new for you. Lenin was a tool in the hand of the central powers. He greed to the harsh terms of the Brest-Litovsk treaty because for him the main thing was succedding in fully taking the power against the other faction who wanted to control Russia. One of his main argument to convince people to be on his side was to get Russia out of the war. And as we know, during the years that follower the war, the soviets took back most of the territories they let go in the Brest-Litovsk treaty.

Russia has always been overestimated because of how big the country is. For the largest part of history it was nothing more than a rural backwater, severely underdeveloped in comparison to its neighbours save for some urban centers. Even today Russia "only" has about the same population as Germany and France combined.
But then again, Russia has also been severely underestimated because of how big the country is. Napoleon and Hitler weren't intimidated by the massive blob on their maps, and we all know how that went down. You have to sacrifice your manpower, Russia only has to sacrifice ground. And you can bet that you run out of manpower before Russia runs out of ground.

@@l.s.9095 Why? The outcome of the war in the west wasn't settled in 1917. It was a stalemate at that point. In the east, the Germans were winning. If they could have concentrated more effort on it, the Bolsheviks and the Communist revolution would have ended in a loss. The western powers were not big fans of the Communist revolution. They probably wouldn't have stopped Germany from going into Russia heavily. The Entente powers probably would have agreed to end the war at that point with an amicable peace. With pressure from the civil population, the Entente powers needed to end the war anyway. Germany wouldn't have had the humiliation of losing the war that they had in November 1918. The rise of National Socialism would never have happened. No WWII, at least the way it happened in reality. I find that interesting. If you don't, I understand.
The beef Germans had was with the British Empire and France who were suffocating German expansion in Africa and German commerce generally. Imperial Russia was an incompetent menace at that point.
The Allies would have never allowed that
Wasn't going to happen, the whole reason they made peace in the east was because the Russians have been defeated, France and Britain were bloodied, but hardly beaten. IT's possible they could have tried to make peace with the west after making peace in the east, but I doubt the 2 sides could have come to an agreement.

Great video. It’s crazy how few Americans know this happened.
Why? Why is it surprising that few people care to learn about a German offensive in Russia in 1917? It had no impact on the end result of the war nor really interfered with the rise of the Soviets.
In the end, the Soviet Union rose equally, whatever one may say, and this is all that Rostov was captured by others, it never happened at all.
Ruthless Tsar Nicolas, how? He is a pious Orthodox Emperor, and actually quite lenient to revolutionaries (mistake probably); Imperial Russia was flourishing till 1914- Lenin was brutal and ruthless.
Nicholas destroyed his family's 300-year-old empire by starting a world war together with his dimwitted inbred cousins in Germany and Britain. In 1896, Nicholas refused to cancel a ball in his honor despite over 1,200 people getting crushed to death at his coronation. He killed cats, dogs and birds for fun. Russia under him became the last European nation with pogroms against Jews, and other national minorities, including Muslims, were repressed. In 1914, only about 30 percent of the population was literate, and the vast majority of people lived incredibly poorly. The economic boom seen from the late 1800s onward was enjoyed only by a very small portion of Russians, and was financed by Western capital, which quickly vanished when the war began. I think "Ruthless" is a pretty fair assessment of Nicholas.
COPE AND SEETHE
@@ilyatsukanov8707 they were poor like all the centuries before, but in the late Imperial Russia the economy was growing rapidly due to industrialization and for the first time since the Medieval era the life of many Russians got significantly better. But all this development came to a halt, when the war broke out and Nicholas started it by declaring war against Austria-Hungary, which triggered the alliance system. Otherwise everything would have remained a minor thing in the Balkans. Austria would have occupied Belgrade for some time, but without annexing anything. Serbia would have remained an independent state, just with a new goverment.

Exactly. Many peasants, who lived through WWI and soviet repressions, had good memories about german occupation. Much less amounts of food were taken, independent government was preserved(in some point, at least, it had borders and wasn`t a part of Germany), no etnic/class oppressions etc. Because of that, many people from Belarus, Ukraine, Baltics joined Wehrmacht in WWII as collaborationists.

He was ruthless by ignorance and incompetence and inactivity.
He didn't flinch at his coronation when 1200+ people were crushed to death. His government supported pogroms against Jews and repressed other minorities. He hunted birds, cats and dogs for fun. I think "ruthless" is a good description.
@@ilyatsukanov8707 with regards to the coronation crush it appears that he and other members of the royal family were horrified by it but that when the tsar went to the field where it occurred things had calmed down which lead the tsar to believe it was a rumour and so continue the celebrations, in his diary he mentions how terrible it was. With regards to the programs from what I can gather it seems to have been mobs sometimes whipped up by priests. Some people believe that they were secretly supported by the tsar's secret police but I don't think this is likely, the main proponent of this was a Soviet playwright/historian who I am not inclined to believe because of his officiation with the Soviet regime. I'm not going to say that Nicholas was some sort of champion for minorities but it was a very different time and Russia more so than other places. With regards to hunting I'm sure he did hunt as most aristocrats did but I can't find anything referring to hunting cats and dogs. He is known to have owned several dogs and was very fond of them and was very saddened by their deaths. He even buried at least one in a miniature mausoleum, which was a royal tradition
Good ol' Nicky read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to his kids every night to bed.
