Question

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the Russian people and the czar?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The czar was considered to be an almost god-like figure to the peasant Russian majority; this status crumbled following many tragedies, namely Bloody Sunday.

Explanation:

People loved the royal family that was ruling Russia at the beginning of Nicholas II’s regime, worshiping them as deities. However, the czar and his wife did not have an outright understanding of common people, poor, and peasants.

For example, for the coronation, the royal family prepared gifts for the people of Moscow. But so many people showed up, packages ran out, and fights started. There more than 3 thousand people dead. Instead of helping the injured and mourning his people. Nicholas and his wife Alexandra went to the ball that night, only attending their people today – something Russia never forgave them.

His reign was also anti-Semitic, and thousands of Jews were killed under his command.

Finally, when demonstrations broke out in 1905, the czar refused to meet peaceful strikers. Instead, his guards were leashed upon people and several hundred people died. This came to be known as “Bloody Sunday” and the czar got the nickname “Bloody Nicholas”. Many more demonstrations broke out around the country, and Nicholas II never fulfilled any promises he gave people.
