How did the most conservative kingdom fall for communism?

>>17807525 (OP)
Nicky did everything in his power to piss off liberal reformers, socialist revolutionaries, AND Monarchist conservatives all at once with schizophrenic and nonsensical acts of adopting reforms only to roll them back. Having backwards or wrong policies is often preferable to having no policies, which just leads to confusion and chaos.

>AND Monarchist conservatives
tell me about that
I only know of the former

the tsar abdicated, the people were starving due to the war and the nazis shipped a bunch of commies into russia and funded them because the nazi thought it was the only way to end the eastern front and win world war I

Russia was always extremely unstable, WW1 just provided the means to kill their German elite and swap Jesus for Lenin

>Nazis mind controlled 150 million Russians to turn them communist

It was the conservative nobles who killed Rasputin because they believed he was corrupting the Tsars judgement. Stolypin was often frustrated by Nicholas’ inconsistent policies and wishy washy policies regarding detaining political radicals

Except the majority of the Western powers intervened AGAINST the Bolsheviks. The Russian peasantry chose to follow Bolshevism of their own choice
You can't always blame muh West for everything

Alexander III was right, Nicholas II should had married a danish princess instead of that german whore

>>17807581
the nazis literally put lenin and his buddies on a train to russia and funded them. they literally aided literally lenin because they figured it was the best way to get russia out of the war

>>17807594
Clearly they were right, Russians have no choice but to make a bald four foot tall Jew their supreme dictator

>conservative
Holy shit you people are idiots
Yeah Tsarist Russia was a Burkean free market paradise
Fucking morons
Complete and total command economy, managed by whatever syphilitic dildo was in the Kremlin at the time

>>17807594
They sent Lenin to Finland hoping he'd stir up some trouble. I don't think in their wildest dreams they thought it would lead to all of Russia collapsing but somehow it did

>>17807605
what level of american """conservative""" are you?

>>17807605
I don't think you know what conservative means

>>17807563
I really wish I didnt watch that

>Replace God and Jesus with Marx and Lenin
>keep everything the same
and most important: Win wars. Tsarist Russia lost the Crimea War and the Japanese War, while the Soviet Union won WWII. That's how Russia works

>>17807623
How else would any of you learn?

>>17807602
that's what the nazis thought too

>>17807645
They didn't have one with trollface?

One thing that isn't emphasised enough is how pernicious communist radicalisation was amongst the actual workers in Russia
They didn't just wake up one day and decide they didn't want the Tsar, they were slowly corrupted by communist infiltrators amongst their ranks until they became bloodthirsty animals filled with bitterness and hatred

>>17807525 (OP)
Most Russians lived in shit conditions during these times.

>>17807525 (OP)
They didn't, the communists had support among a sliver of the population (industrial workers in big cities) while the vast majority were peasantry who were either SRs (real socialists) or politically unengaged. The communists couped the democratically elected SR government because their power base was in the big industrial city of Petrograd and basically shot or completely sidelined everybody in every other town or village who disagreed with them.
