VCE History: Unit 3 Life in the land of the Tsars

The Romanov Dynasty, a series of rulers beginning with Michael Romanov, began in The old regime of tsarism reflected a political system of autocracy and a social hierarchy of privileges for the gentry and inequality for the industrial workers and peasants. But did this mean that revolution was inevitable?

Life in the land of the Tsars Russian psychology: ‘like a colony of bees…Russian society [would] cease to exist without the Tsar’ – August Von Haxthausen Laws of the Empire (issued in 1716 and again in 1832): ‘an autocratic and unlimited monarch… god himself demands his supreme power be obeyed’. Like many before him Nicholas believed Autocracy to be a ‘sacred trust’ and that it was his role to pass this on to his own son.

How stable was tsarist Russia?
