		Tehran was prohibited to have naval forces in the Caspian Sea, according to treaties between czarist Russia and Persia as well as the USSR and Iran.
		Russia is trying to flex its muscles at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) through war games in the Caspian Sea, former Iranian foreign minister Ali-Akbar Velayati reportedly commented on August 6 in a meeting with academicians of Mashhad's Ferdowsi University.
		As for the coastal Caspian states, Russia seems to be pursuing the time-honored policy of carrot-and-stick, in which its friends receive discounted arms sales while its opponents (and neutrals) receive the certain knowledge that Moscow retains the growing ability to order its fleet without notice into waters they regard as theirs.

		The first pogrom occurred in czarist Russia in 1881, following the assassination of Czar Alexander II by revolutionary terrorists.
		After the failure of the Revolution of 1905 in Russia, pogroms occurred in about 600 villages and cities; thousands of Jews were slaughtered, and the property of many was looted and destroyed.
		As established by documentary evidence, however, the pogroms were deliberately organized by the czarist government to divert into channels of religious bigotry and ethnic hatred the Russian workers' and peasants' discontent with political and economic conditions.

	Lesson Four
		The history of modern Russia can be divided into two big segments: the czarist period that stretched from the 15th century to 1917 and the Soviet era that began in 1917 and continued until 1991.
		Sandwiched between these two epochs was a short, unsuccessful attempt to fashion a democracy in 1917 after the fall of Czar Nicholas II and before the seizure of power by Lenin.
		The history of reform in Russia both its accomplishments and its failures is now being studied intently by Russians weighing their country's options for the future.

	Russian Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Russia's backwardness made the clash between traditional society and the forces of modernization (industrialization, rationalization, centralization of government, and democratization of the masses) explosive.
		Russia's industrialization differed from earlier varieties in England, France, and Germany in that the state played the role of major backer, that it was financed by money borrowed abroad, that it began with railroad construction, and that it used the latest technology to build large-scale factories.
		Russia's defeat in the Russo-Japanese war of 1905 unleashed new uprisings that led Nicholas II to issue the famous October Manifesto in that year which transformed Russia in to a Constitutional Monarchy.

	U.S. Senator John McCain
		Russia’s richest man, founder and chief executive of its most successful private company, a leader in incorporating Western principles of accounting and transparency into business practice, and a generous donor to charity, Khodorkovsky had committed what in the Kremlin’s eyes is the worst crime of all: supporting the political opposition to President Putin.
		Russia’s assertion of political control over its neighbors speaks not to a modern vision of Russian reform and renewal, but appears to reflect a czarist impulse to dominate neighboring populations.
		Far from having a vision for Russia in which democracy and freedom and rule of law thrive, I fear President Putin may have a vision for Russia in which the capricious power of the police at home, and the menacing weight of subversion and intimidation abroad, guide the state.

		Czarist Russia's conscript army in the Far East, ill trained and low in morale, was 80,000 at the beginning of 1904, and was reinforced slowly, to a low maximum of 250,000 in December 1904.

	The Persecution of Christians in Bolshevik Russia
		The nations living on the west border of the empire declared their independence in the midst of the revolutionary turmoil which started in the spring of 1917 and turned the old Russian Empire upside down.
		Since the Soviets overcame the inner crisis originating in the so called “warlike communism”, they are relentless in their fight for a communist state.
		However, we can get an idea of the extent of the destruction if we consider that there were 1,200,000 protestants living in pre-war Russia, and their number was 900,000 even before the persecution wave of 1929.

		It was in Russia, quite naturally, that the problem of the correlation between the struggle for democracy and the struggle for socialism, or between the bourgeois revolution and the socialist, was submitted to theoretical analysis.
		In one sense Czarist Russia was also a colonial country, and this found its expression in the predominant role of foreign capital.
		The differences between China and Russia-the incomparably greater dependence of the Chinese bourgeoisie on foreign capital, the absence of independent revolutionary traditions among the petty bourgeoisie, the mass gravitation of the workers and peasants to the banner of the Comintern—demanded a still more irreconcilable policy—if such were possible-than that pursued in Russia.

	In Search of St. Petersburg -- Russia's Crown Jewel City: Both Polished and Tarnished
		Russia started down a socialist course that evolved under Stalin to the point where the totalitarian Soviet state owned, operated, and "shared" all property and information with its citizens.
		When we asked our guide the average salary and the unemployment rate, she responded honestly that nobody has a clue — "everyone" tells the government they have a job, when in fact many are idle, and "everyone" reports only a portion of their income to avoid the outlandish tax rates.
		When we heard her response, we no longer wondered why organized crime is reported to control 30-40% of Russia’s economy, why there appeared to be a high number of loiterers and beggars, even why most young couples avoid marriage in order to avoid government recognition.

		The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR created a new relationship between Russia and the world and all are still feeling their way.

		The democratic system in Russia is still in its infancy, being tested politically and economically on a daily basis; its survival may seem to be in the best interest of all.

	Dissertation Abstract: Search for National Identity Among the Muslim of Russia by Giray Saynur Bozkurt
		The legal discrimination against the Muslims were removed to a certain degree and the Muslims of Russia continued to seek their rights further as equal citizens of Russia.
		However, their requests were not accepted by the Czarist government, except the problems related with the equality, religion and education.
		Although Muslims of Russia did not gain much to solve the territorial and migration issues, they succeeded to form a national identity and equal status with Russians and, to a limited degree, gained socio-political advantages through their activities that took place between 1905 and 1907.

		In the 19th century Czarist Russia was a multinational empire.

		However this was not enough for the Bolshevik faction of Social Democratic Party of Russia led by Lenin.
