Regarding Tsarist Russia - I agree, it must have been a terrible place. Workers and peasants languished in poverty and died of hunger, while the upper classes basked in luxury - it's an outrage. If the Tsarist regime had been good, so many people (practically all city dwellers) would not have caught fire with the idea of revolution.

Living in that time, I am sure YOU would have been a DECEMBRIST. (Fighting for the welfare of the people, but without understanding their needs.) (They were also PEOPLE).

P.S. (I apologize for the mistakes, I'm trying to express my thought)

P.S. 2. (I believe that LENIN is not the same thing as socialism. I believe that in 1000 years they will say the same about him as they do about JESUS) (HE was also not understood by his contemporaries, except for a small number)
P.S. 3. (Said only to Silvanis and Berserker)
