 AcademicDB - The Tsarist Regime Since 1825
The Tsarist Regime Since 1825 By 1917 Russia was a vast empire made of many countries and people, ruled by an autocrat.
The collapse of the Romanov dynasty and the Tsarist regime was all in time to be expected due to the incompetence and ignorance of the Tsars since 1825.
The main reasons for the collapse of the Romanovs and the Tsarist regime were that life in Russia was becoming exceptionally difficult for the peasants due to poor leadership, most of the populace had very little rights, events such as ‘Bloody Sunday’ tarnished the...

 Lithuania 1863-1893: Tsarist Russification and the Beginnings of the Modern Lithuanian National Movement - Strazas
The so-called daraktoriai (from the word direktorius, or "director") schools, that is, teaching with groups of children in private homes, was an old Lithuanian tradition, but with the advent of the press ban and the government schools, this practice grew rapidly.
The Tsarist administration carried out a constantly intensifying policy of terror against the secret schools but it was unable to put a stop to them.
The Tsarist administration began to interfere in the appointment of priests and in 1865 it refused to approve twenty-eight priests assigned by Bishop Valančius.

 Russian Legacy | Russian History - E. Prussakov - Tsarist Economy
All of the above clearly points to the fact that regardless of the famous period of the industrial 'boom' of the 1890s by 1914 Russian Tsarist economy slid into a state of general economic backwardness, being unable to sustain the economic successes of the 1890s.
Had there been more time, all these things that Russia lacked would most likely have soon developed and corrected themselves, but the steadiness of the progress was first disrupted by the Crimean War, then hindered by the World War I, and later on entirely suffocated by the February and October Revolutions of 1917.
Russia never lacked potential, but it often ran out of time; and the late tsarist period was a good example of it.

 Predecessors of the KGB and MVD - The Tsarist Period - Russia
The foundations of the tsarist police state were established in 1826, when Tsar Nicholas I formed the so-called Third Section, a political police whose purpose was to protect the state from internal subversion.
One of the greatest impediments to an effective political police was the general reluctance on the part of the Russian state to use violence against political dissenters.
Herein lies one of the crucial differences between the monarchical police state of tsarist Russia and the Soviet regime, which from the outset used violence to preserve its rule and gradually extended the violence to affect broad segments of the population.

Even Lenin complained that whole sections of the Tsarist administration remained in place after the revolution unavoidably, since the new regime had much to learn, and had to rely on the experience of government departments, which operated by the old methods.
The usual practice was to ask a historian of government administration or an experienced civil servant to study the functioning of a similar department under the Tsarist regime.
The imposing ceremonies of both the Tsarist and Soviet regimes derived from a common culture, in which the emphasis on icons, and on images of strength and invincibility, disguised internal fragility.

 Russia at Play: Leisure Activities at the End of the Tsarist Era Journal of Social History - Find Articles
In a fascinating chapter on the "sporting life," the author describes how relations between the classes played out and were altered by the commercialization of equestrian activities, the growth of amateur athletic societies (especially bodybuilding), yacht and bicycle clubs, and (dismally unsuccessful) soccer.
A particularly engaging chapter ("The Actress and the Wrestler") portrays Maria Savina, "who turned herself from an impoverished orphan into tsarist Russia's premier actress" at the Alexandrinka theater, and who was "empowered" by her own "commodification" in the new commercial culture.
She concludes with an essay on "Tsarist Russia's dream factories," silent motion pictures which arrived around the turn of the century.

 Was Stalin an Agent of the Tsarist Okhrana?
If anyone in the tsarist police bureaucracy knew the answer to the question of Stalin's relationship to the police, it was Alexander Mikhailovich Eremin.
Documentary evidence of Stalin's complicity with the tsarist police would have been tossed down the "memory hole," as George Orwell described it in his novel 1984.
While we do not know the whereabouts of the document during the thirty years from the fall of the tsarist regime until it was turned over to Isaac Don Levine, we do know that from 1946 publication was delayed another ten years.

 The Military History of Tsarist Russia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Collectively, these essays are well written and very informative about Russia’s military history in the tsarist era, conveying especially well how political, social, and economic factors affected military development and the conduct of military operations.
In the summary essay, the editors review these factors again in light of the preceding essays, noting the generally good conduct and fighting abilities of Russia’s army during the eighteenth century and its decline during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Judging from the discussion of the Soviet army found in the introductory and summary essays, as well as occasional references in some of the intervening essays, it appears that Kagan and Higham see similar influences in the creation and development of the Soviet army after 1917.

Was the Tsarist regime stable or unstable by 1914
In this belief they were mistaken, however, this meant that the masses in the Russian countryside at this point had no desire to alter the Tsarist system, and consequently the Tsar was under very little pressure from this portion of society.
This may also constitute one of the many reasons for the survival of serfdom in Russia, the Tsars were genuinely scared of the masses becoming politically aware of the Tsarist system.

The author of this study has produced a solidly researched monograph on the Okhrana, the tsar's secret police.
Agents of the secret police did not exceed two thousand at any given time and claims for its omniscience were simply a "government bluff" (32), nor were Okhrana practices all that different from those of other European police agencies.
The tsarist "organs" were, to be sure, rather larger, but size was important chiefly because "the scale of real and genuinely dangerous sedition was itself much broader in Russia than in the West" (73).

For centuries, autocratic and repressive tsarist regimes ruled the country and population under sever economic and social conditions; consequently, during the late 19th century and early 20th century, various movements were staging demonstrations to overthrow the oppressive government.
Poor involvement in WWI also added to the rising discontent against Nicholas as Russian armies suffered terrible casualties and defeats because of a lack of food and equipment; in addition, the country was industrially backward compared to countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and the USA.

This is the most comprehensive study available of the popular theater that developed during the last decades of tsarist Russia.
Swift examines the origins and significance of the new "people's theaters" that were created for the lower classes in St. Petersburg and Moscow between 1861 and 1917.
He vividly presents the kaleidoscopic world of popular theater, where culture meets entertainment, where Shakespeare and Ostrovsky meet racy vaudeville, farce, and melodrama, and where social and cultural identities blur.

 SSRN-One Asset, Two Prices: The Case of the Tsarist Repudiated Bonds by Kim Oosterlinck, Ariane Szafarz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Based on an original daily database, this paper compares the price evolution from January 6, 1916 to August 31, 1919 of a cross-listed (Paris and London) Tsarist bond repudiated by the Soviets on February 8, 1918.
Furthermore, data from the pre-repudiation period show that the impossibility for arbitrage is not sufficient for driving the pricing differences.
