And how will an honest tsar end up on the throne? Only through revolution and civil war. And that won't lead to a strengthening of the country. But coming to power through democratic means is realistic. We just need everyone to come out and demand complete transparency in the elections. Shooting and deceiving the people who have gathered in the square is suicide. Even our idiotic government won't go for that. And then – we can put a tsar on the throne (but not a Romanov, better Shaimiev or Tuleev. Or Lukashenko). But only a federal empire, with broad autonomy, and with Soviets.
